COMMITMENT
Only read this if you want to have a change in lifestyle or plan your future.
Commitment: dedicated to a cause - Purpose
A major problem people have with any quest for success/self-improvement is commitment. Without commitment, you may as well just become a quitter or stay a daydreamer, and live life as it comes - aimlessly.
We have all been committed to something, now or in the past. Right now you’re probably committed to earning a living, paying bills, mortgage, etc. Anytime you sign a contract or promise something you are committed. This type of commitment is necessary for daily living, and subsistence (surviving).
Your commitment needs to go beyond merely surviving. You need to commit to thriving. We were created to thrive, not just survive. Successful people have much more commitment than the average person.
Be committed to your future and where you are going to spend the rest of your life, does this make sense? Having a plan starts with Purpose and commitment.
Do you have a clearly defined Purpose for your life? If not, why not?
We should all be striving for the next level of lifestyle and living comfortably, independently, and freely. It is the next level we don’t want to miss. We settle for a fraction of what we could have.
If you don’t have a written, clearly defined, Purpose for your life then you should give serious thought to creating one - it is essential. Then promise to commit/devote yourself to your Purpose. Your level of commitment will determine your level of fulfillment.
The majority of people are satisfied with just getting by (surviving). It has been reported that only 10% of the people who start a journey to fulfill their Purpose/dreams/goals achieve what was started. The 90% who don’t succeed simply quit. Nowhere is quitting associated with success! There are many excuses for quitting but never a good reason - Have Purpose then be committed!
Being uncommitted is not your friend. Like quitting uncommitted is never associated with success. How many people on their deathbeds wish they had been more uncommitted? Constantly confront these two choices - commit or go uncommitted - the choice is yours; commit to having a great future. If you are okay with the “good enough” syndrome - I am happy for you and wish you a lot of luck concerning your future.
With a “good enough” attitude you will never know what might have been had you tried to fulfill your Purpose. This has been asked by many therapists “how does that make you feel”?
Commitment is not always easy - but for the most part, it is simple. Connect another word with commitment: consistency. Commitment to your purpose must be consistent. An on-and-off attitude of commitment does not work. Over time you may find you are more off than on, that happens to the majority of people, but not you. The mind tends toward the negative and off is negative, stay committed to your purpose!! If you find that off is frequent in your thinking then you need to filter what your inner-self is receiving from your thinking.
After all, is said you must be involved in your business of life. Where there is no involvement there is no commitment. Be proactive, you are the CEO of your life.
Being proactive and committed you will be able to say: I’m glad I did, not I wish I had.
