"I made a decision to completely cut
out drinking [alcohol] and anything
that might hamper me from getting
my mind and my body together. And
the floodgates of goodness have
opened up to me both spiritually and
financially." -Denzel Washington,
Academy Award Winner (1961 - )
So what's a commitment? A
commitment is a promise or an oath
or vow to do something you say or
feel you might do. So now that you
have decided to do something about
your life, it's time to make a
commitment. What is it that you are
going to do? Are you going to
volunteer, work, or play...or all
three? An example of making a
commitment is saying something like
"I'm going to work 8 hours a day for
4 days a week at the local vegetarian
restaurant. Of course, you may or
may not get paid, but in all actually
that's a good commitment. Or
another good commitment could be,
"I am going to be a better husband,
father, and neighbor." Here's
another one: "I am going to do my
best no matter where i'm at with who
i'm with with what i've got." That's a
good one.
One word of caution: it's one thing to
make a commitment, saying that
you'll do some -thing...but it's quite
another animal to actually DO what
you say you made a commitment to
do. Anyone can say they'll do
something, but what about doing it?
That's what separates the true from
the not so true. See, the importance of
commitment is key in this life my
friends.
Got a goal? Decide to do it. Make the
commitment, and then formulate a
plan, then take action!
