“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.” ~ Henry David Thoreau
For inspiration, watch this short video by Nike about Lance Armstrong. It’s a great example of what commitment is all about.

“I’m on my bike busting my as* six hours a day”. Lance Armstrong is amazing. He’s a great example of mind over body and how we can accomplish anything if we want it hard enough and if we’re willing to do the work.
Oh my…this is total dedication to his sport!
Very inspirational! Thanks for sharing!
Evelyn
Great video on dedication and an excellent quote. Thanks for sharing.
Hope you’re enjoying your vacation, Lance!
Hi Lance,
I love Nike’s slogan “Just Do It”. It’s short and to the point.
Thanks for sharing that video. I have recently finished reading a book about Lance Armstrong called “It’s not about the Bike” and his dedication, perseverance and commitment is absolutely phenomenal.
yeah – I get fed up with people thinking that when you are successful at something, it sort of just happened – they don’t see the years that went into it (or choose not to).
Cheers Lance – Robin
Heh, great video.
@Marelisa – He really is a great example of going after what you want, and working hard to achieve it!
@Evelyn – Lance (Armstrong) really shows his dedication, and this is a great clip about it.
@Linda – I love that quote too. It really gives me hope that I can accomplish whatever I want, if I want it bad enough.
@Barbara – Their slogan is perfect for their brand, and it is just a great life slogan as well.
@Leanne – I’ve read that book as well, and it’s amazing what he has overcome to get to where he is today.
@Robin – that is so true, and I’m realizing it more the older I get. Most people are where they are at because of the effort (or lack of) they put into their life. You get out what you put in.
@Bamboo Forest – Thanks!
Lance hope you had a good vacay. Anyway, love the video. He really does show that if you put your mind to it you can accomplish anything!
Rachel, yes he does show commitment! Vacation has been great, thank you for asking!
Food for thought indeed. I think most of us cannot commit for 24 hours on any activity on a given day. We can learn from him, and commit fully to the activity on hand
