The 365 Commitment

Day 1000

I did it! 1,000 days in a row of following the first habit that I created. Effectively the 365 day commitment that I made has now turned into 1,000. Everyday I have got out of bed at 5am and prayerfully created a list of the most important things to accomplish that day ad every evening I have prayerfully reviewed my performance against that list. In addition, I have written a blog entry on the thoughts and observations that I have had along the way. Pretty amazing experience to say the least.

Today I am contemplating what I am now calling the “M Contact.” The M Contract is my next 1000 day contract. What am I going to achieve in 1000 days from now and what commitment am I going to make to get there? If you do not know, M is the Roman Numeral for 1,000. Hence, my M contract. The formula statement is simple for the M Contract. It states, I am willing to do <fill in here> in order to get <fill in here>.

So what audacious goal or goals do I want to achieve!? What am I willing to do to get there? To gain an audacious goal, I need audacious commitments! Everyday commitments. What am I willing to do everyday for the next 1000 days?

This is the question isn’t it?

This ability to fool ourselves into believing we have more control than we do can be beneficial, but it’s important to differentiate between actual impact and coincidental association.
