I agree that your actions will show how committed you are. If you have a goal, the best way in my experience to achieve it is to write down the goal, when you plan to achieve it, and how you plan to get there.

I have found that often times I have great ideas and make goals, but then I don't write them down and I forget about them. By writing them down, even if its just a sticky note on my computer, I remember them and actively pursue them.

By writing down what you want to achieve and a plan to get there, you can see how committed you are by how strictly you stick to the plan and how motivated you are to achieve that goal
