The Missing Link

The missing link from where we are to where we want to go is often hesitancy and an absence of unwavering commitment. 

If we’re not a smoker, then considering whether or not to light up a cigarette simply isn’t an option we consider. If we smoke and don’t want to, then we commit to that.

A true commitment is to render that habit as simply not an option. That habit no longer exists in our life. 

If the habit is overeating, that’s certainly harder for we can’t not do food. However we absolutely can not do food that’s bad for us.

We replace the bad food habits with the good food habits… foods we also love but that are good for us. I call that food Aikido… it’s taking that energy and redirecting it from where it wants to go to where we want it to go. 

All desire is energy. When it comes to changing habits, we deflect the energy from the negative and redirect it into the positives. We’re the traffic cop seeing that energy and directing it where it needs to go.

If we’re creating a path in the woods or meadow, we walk that same path everyday and it becomes well worn and easily accessible, without effort. Meanwhile, the path we need to ignore becomes overgrow with lack of use and ceases to be seen as an option to traverse.

The missing link is commitment. 

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too."

~William Hutchison Murray, Scottish mountaineer and writer, 1913-1996
