Just chatting it to death isn’t making a call, making the effort and moving forward after making the choice is.

The following step is the huge one, the giant “C” and that is to make a dedication to your decision. The commitment is the stumbling point for such a lot. If your call is to spend some more time with your youngsters, decide what days and time you may spend with them and make up a listing of the things you might do with them. Now, what one great thing would you dare to fantasize if success was certain? Record your final goal, and some short- and mid-range goals for progress measurement. Stop drinking. Carry the list around with you everywhere you go. The commitment is how you are going to carry out the choice and you may stick to your commitment or you are back in the choice stage and that could be a “no man’s land”. Wishing you the best in whatever call you make.
