Instead of committing to lose weight this year or write that book, simply commit to do the work. Five days a week you are going to write, who cares whether a book comes of it or not. Five days a week you’ll walk two miles, or you’ll cut your carbs down to whatever. If you want to be more grateful this year, then break that down into something you can do, and commit to that. Every Thursday you’ll write somebody a thank-you card.
Do you want to be more professional? Commit to shaving every day … and sending your clothes to the dry cleaner once a month. And add to that finish the work you’re supposed to finish. … Don’t commit to an idea, commit to a tangible act you can check off of a list.
Goals are very helpful, and writing them down is even more helpful. But once you set a secret goal, break it down into actionable steps, and make your commitment to take those steps, to DO those things. Goals don’t accomplish anything, it’s all in the work.
Commit to the Work, not the Goals

So I ripped this off the Blue Like Jazz movie page while searching to see who was going to play Don after a conversation I had with Steve and Sarah on sunday. I am sure it had been said, but Sarah disagreed (quite strongly) with me. She was right.
Damn.
Not brilliant quality, go to the site to see it properly.
ps. I am sorry for the lack of controls on this video. It was the best I could do.
