Decision is nothing if you don't act on it.
What comes after the decision is what makes most people fail.
Today I watched Tony Robbins talk about decisions in his AI Summit.
He said every decision has three stages.
First: decide. Where you make the decision
Second: commit. Where you commit to making it happen.
Third: resolve. Where you feel relieved from the final outcome.
Simple. But only one of them gives relief.
The last one. And that’s where most people never arrive.
Because deciding feels powerful.
You get that dopamine rush. You see the vision.
You feel ready.
But then comes the part where you hit the wall.
Doing the thing when no one’s watching.
When the first rush is gone.
When your brain starts whispering, maybe later. That’s hard…
That’s the stage where most dreams die.
Not from lack of talent.
From a lack of commitment.
I’ve seen this in my 9-5, it happens every time I hire a new person. They come motivated, excited, even a bit delusional (in a healthy way).
Then reality hits hard.
Some quit. Some persist.
That’s my test - those who stay are the ones who I need on the job.
In my work, it’s called situational leadership. When you’re new to the task, no matter how experience you had before, you' always face the wall at stage 2.
In the online writing world it’s called consistency.
But it’s simple discipline in execution.
That’s the path.
There’s no other path.
Every breakthrough I’ve ever had — in business, in writing, even in my health — happened because I stayed through that second stage.
The boring, disciplined middle.
That’s where the real decision lives.
Because deciding is not saying yes once.
It’s saying yes every day until the resolution arrives.
That’s how you have a GUT time.
