New Year, New Commitment: Illuminating Your Path to Success in 2024

We made it through the second week of the New Year (insert celebration 🎉) The oh-so delicious and delectable year of 2024 is on her Merry-Go Lucky Way, and I must say, I am pretty excited for what she has in store.

Firstly, let me tell you about last year in order to put this year into perspective. My personal keyword and lesson for the Year 2023 was about all about Consistency. I made a vow to Consistently & Consciously choose Peace, Life, & Happiness. The year 2023 was ALL that for me and so much more!

What did I do? Well, I’m glad you asked. Here’s how it went. I boldly occupied a room with hundreds of millionaires who owned & operated seven & eight figure businesses, and they ALL looked like me. I definitely belonged in that room. I traveled abroad to the coveted turquoise waters and sandy white beaches of the Caribbean, and on my grown woman ish, did a little “twerking in Turks”. I let it all hang out and gave not one iota about who was watching. My business generated more revenue than the year before, which gave me a huge boost in confidence, and this was only the tip of the iceberg.

I delighted in Consistency. Consistency was a great adventure for me, however this year, I desired a little bit more oomph, some pizzaz and a little bit more potency. She was cute and what-not, however remaining in her original state, Consistency can yield a life of unchanged, standardized mediocrity, if you let it.

Now that Consistency and I were able to get acquainted and dance a little two-step, it was time to up the ante and do things slightly different. As the New Year commences, the vibrancy of possibilities echoes through the atmosphere, and we experience this event collectively. I can feel it in the air. Some of us are using the energy of Newness as a time to recalibrate and set New goals, while some of us remain consistent in doing what feels safe and comfortable, and that’s perfectly fine.

This year, the keyword that beckons me forward is "Commitment." Commitment is not just a Resolution or something we do within our relationships with others and our spouses, it is a pact we make with Ourselves, a promise to journey toward our goals with unwavering determination and unyielding dedication. In the journey of growth and self-improvement, Commitment is the vibrant thread that weaves Dreams into reality.

At the very heart of Commitment lies a deep understanding of one's aspirations and a radical boldness to achieving them. It's not merely a fleeting desire, here today and gone tomorrow, but a conscious decision to take Consistent, deliberate and calculated steps toward Success. Although this year’s keyword is slightly different from last year, the two operate like hand-in-glove, reinforcing the same principles of movement and action. Consistency & Commitment to your Vision & Goal is a sure-fire path to achieving those lofty aspirations.

How do we get there you say? Firstly, start by clarifying your goals. Be very specific and detailed about what you want to achieve. Anything is possible, so Dream BIG. Secondly, break down your large objectives into bite-sized, manageable tasks. By doing so, this creates a roadmap and designs the blueprint that demystifies the journey ahead. Consistency is not about perfection, it is about movement that is upward bound—a series of small victories that accumulate into significant and major achievements.

Strongly consider Commitment & Consistency as a partnership, a marriage with your future self. Embrace the idea that the choices you make today will shape the life you’ll live tomorrow. Cultivate a mindset of Resiliency. If it doesn’t work out on the first attempt, keep trying until you get that ish right! The only failure is your self-defeating mindset, which keeps you stuck in the same position year after year, after year. Your Commitment & Consistency is the fuel that propels you forward through life’s challenges and transforms those dreaded obstacles into building blocks.

In order to be fully Committed, you have to harness the power of Routine, not in a mundane sense, but in a ritualistic sense where you routinely sow into your future every single chance you get, every single day. Here is where Consistency re-emerges like “Hey Girl Hey!” She is the backbone, the head, and the tail of success. You can’t have Commitment without her sister-friend, Consistency.

From this day forward, implement a Routine that perfectly aligns with your goals, creating a rhythm that sustains your forward movement. This is where you will witness your Life dancing effortlessly into your imagined future, which will soon become a very real and tangible reality. For me, this looks like me doing the “Bobby Shmurda” all the way down to the finish line. 

Whether it's dedicating a specific time each day to work on your objectives or incorporating mindfulness practices that fuel your motivation, Routine and Consistency amplifies the impact of your Commitment. In 2024, allow Commitment to be the guiding Star that illuminates your path. With each step, you inch closer to the Life you envision. Embrace the transformative power of Commitment, Consistency, and Routine. As you navigate the challenges and triumphs from last year, may your unwavering dedication be the driving force that propels you toward a future of Fulfillment and Success in the Year 2024.

 CHEERS to a New Reality 🥂
