To commit literally means: to pledge or assign to some particular course or use.


But what does that really mean for a nail competitor?

Every person is different and has different desires. For me, to commit to becoming the best was an ever evolving commitment with one exception — I wanted to be a World Champion. Now let me tell you that did not happen as easily as it sounds. There where set backs almost everywhere I turned. But I persisted. I had made a commitment to myself and my family that I would succeed.


And succeed I did. Through all the trials and tribulations, I continued to practice and learn and compete, with much success. Now here I am telling you to do it, lol.


Like your marriage or health or kids, to commit to something means to give it your full attention. And when it comes to competing, that is exactly what you must do if you want to be the best. You must commit to yourself to compete, whenever you can. You must commit to not give up in the face of adversity. You must commit to keep going, no matter what, until you reach your goals. Commit to winning.


Be fearless!
