So I have read quite a bit of psychology research on this phenomenon that people will frequently profess a belief in a religion, yet not actually practice the religion. The reasons are not simple, they are in fact as varied as the people involved. However, there are some overall themes that repeat. The first and […]

The 365 Commitment is a simple formula that can improve your life. The original commitment
by Guy Reams was to follow a specific formula for 365 days in a row and find out what the impact would be. You can follow the daily blog. This blog is about motivation, inspiration and encouragement to make changes in your life to focus on what is the most important.
Contention Avoidance
Many people avoid contention at all costs. They will steer wide and clear of the remote possibility of conflict. They will more often than not, choose the path that has fewer thorns just, even though the path with the thorns is far shorter and more directly aimed toward the destination. This is an unconscious bias […]
Be Ye Therefore Prepared
My grandfather told me once as he was preparing for a trial that the secret to winning in the courtroom was to be so prepared that the outcome was inevitable. Which has been an ideal that I have always sought. Be so prepared that you know the outcome BEFORE you attend a meeting. Never come […]
Loyalty
Loyalty. Can it be bought? Perhaps for some, but not for me. Loyalty. Do you deserve it because of a title? Some may think that but not me. Loyalty. Do you gain it by force, perhaps coercion? Some seem to attempt that, but never me. Loyalty. Can you earn it? Absolutely, and there have been […]
Keeping Promises
A few years ago, my wife’s father was nearing his last days in the hospital. One night he asked me to make him a promise. He asked that I put flowers on his mother’s grave. Well, I made the promise. Now I had every intention of fulfilling his request, but years have gone by and […]
Do Not Interrupt
Experience is the best teacher. This is a trite phrase or axiom that we all subscribe to. So why do we try to stop people that are about ready to learn by experience that something is just not going to work out for them? When you have wisdom gained by experience it is very easy […]
What is the 365 Commitment?
Make Your List
Every morning make a list of tasks. Whatever comes to mind. You should consider adding names of people you can serve to your list. Own the day before it owns you.
Pray or Meditate
Ask for guidance on the list you made. Listen to that inner voice. Make revisions to your list. Commit to doing your best to get the list done today.
Prioritize
Assign a priority on each item of your list. Emphasize the most important things first. Use a numbering system if you like.
Set Goals and Act
Throughout the day set small goals to accomplish the list. Listen to inspiration as you may get promptings to do other things. You will find your efforts magnified.
Report
Each night before going to sleep, report back in prayer or meditation. Review what you accomplished. Ask important questions, make commitments to improve tomorrow.
Ready to Commit?
Whatever you want to accompish that is in harmony with the Will of God (or Nature) will come true if you commit to this for 365 days.
