I was thinking about this on the way to the office this morning. The idea came to me – for the things that are GOOD for us….  what if,  after people decided that they were in fact going to do the deed – what if they decide once – and never quit doing it.  What if we determined to NOT let life get in the way of following through with commitments we made to others and commitments we made to ourselves?  How different would the world be?

Life coaches would be an industry that would take a dive most likely.  And Organization experts would be less busy and people would be continuing to do the things that they determined were good for them in the long run.

Motivational Speakers would also have much fewer crowds at their events…. If we never stop doing the good things we decided we wanted to do.

Ah but,  that is NOT the world we live in is it?  We forget…or we just stop….  or we just Quit.

So if doing the right things and following through with our commitments ARE so good for us… then WHY DO we quit.

I have a theory – I always have a theory lol –  I think that sometimes we can achieve too much – or be too successful for our brains to keep up.  What I mean is this. The body works so very hard to maintain a steady normal temperature of 98.6 degrees  by causing perspiration and / or changes in internal blood flow.  It has it “normal” set and a system that works to maintain that internal temperature.

We have an amazing “Gift”  that sadly few of us take advantage of.  We have the ability to “set” the “success temperature”  so that doing the right things in our life are as easy as it is for our bodies to maintain the correct homeostatic  temperature.

I believe that once we set high successful accomplishment levels as “Normal” in our minds – then our “quiting quotient”  will be drastically reduced or eliminated completely.

“Successful people do the things that failures do not do.”  It is as simple as that and all we have to do is change our “normal” settings to “super” inside our internal thermostat.

How do we do that?  Sometimes, people just DECIDE and they mean it.  Sometimes this is exactly why motivation speakers, organizational experts, and life coaches are absolutely worth whatever fee they ask. Because, they help you get results.

Quitters never win and winners never quit – words that were never truer.
