Committed Action

​​Think of something you care about—something that matters to you even if it’s hard.
Now think of learning to play guitar.

At first, your fingers ache. The strings feel sharp.
You fumble through the chords. Nothing sounds like music.
But you keep showing up.

Why?
Because somewhere in you, there’s a song you want to play.
Not perfectly—just honestly.

That’s what committed action looks like.

It’s not about feeling ready or motivated.
It’s about aligning your steps with what you care about—again and again—even when it’s uncomfortable.

Here’s the practice:

Pick one small action today that moves you closer to the life you want to live.
It might feel awkward. You might mess it up.
But show up like you would to practice guitar—not because it’s easy, but because the music matters to you.

Ask yourself:
What’s the life I want to play into being?
What would it sound like to stay true, even when it’s out of tune?

Committed action isn’t about getting it right.
It’s about strumming through the discomfort—because you’ve chosen this song.
