The first step to committing is to write down your goal so that it is not just a thing floating inside of your head. This way, you’re holding yourself to something tangible, and when you achieve your dream you’ll have the physical proof that you were brave enough to want it in the first place. You talk about it like it’s real, you take it seriously, and this makes it more inevitable. Inevitability is like momentum: It starts slowly and with difficulty, but it builds over time until it’s as clear and powerful as if it always existed. Writing down your goal is the first step.
