GIFT and COMMITMENT
[Put your head underwater and keep it there for a while. You will soon realize that you are 100% committed to breathing. Notice that you do not make excuses not to breathe. Notice that you do not worry about motivating yourself to breathe. Notice that you do not need to justify your desire to breathe! You just breathe! Commitment is action. - Steve Pavlina]
To commit is to pledge yourself to a certain purpose or line of conduct. It also means practicing your beliefs consistently. There are, therefore, two fundamental conditions for commitment. The first is having a sound set of beliefs. There is an old saying that goes, "Stand for something or you'll fall for anything." The second is faithful adherence to those beliefs with your behavior. Possibly the best description of commitment is "persistence with a purpose".
Commitment is what transforms the promise into reality. It is the words that speak boldly of your intentions and the actions which speak louder than the words. It is making the time when there is none. Commitment is the stuff character is made of - the power to change the face of things.
“Unless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes... but no plans.” Peter F. Drucker (1909-2005); Professor, Writer, Management Consultant
“Commitment unlocks the doors of imagination, allows vision, and gives us the right stuff to turn our dream into reality.” James Womack (born 1941); Biologist, Author, Professor “Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.” Henry Ford (1863-1947); Founder Of Ford Motor Company
