One of the challenges amongst men is the word commitment. Yesterday I talked to a lady who needed some advice on relationships. She had dated a guy for six good years. When she finally told the guy that they marry, the guy disappeared. According to this lady, the guy was a joker. He never wanted commitments. There many people out there who do not want commitments. Women have been victims of men who misused them and duped them. It is a very unfortunate situation when I see so many fatherless children in our society while the fathers are alive but they never took up their responsibilities.
Commitment is needed in all the decisions we undertake in life whether in the work place, family, children, socially, church or even in our personal lives. Commitment gives you the drive to own the process and await the final results at the end. When you are committed, you will be responsive and handle yourself responsibly. Throughout our life, we are reminded of commitment, whether it’s related to personal or business goals, and we realize that without committing, we can’t achieve anything.
When you think about it, everything you ever achieved sprouted from a commitment you made; whether it’s your children, your degree, your job, or even your house. Learning how to commit is not simply about making commitments, however, it’s about keeping those commitments.in the face of foreseen and unforeseen hurdles.
In life don’t be involved. Be committed
Commitment means you are fully involved. When you want your project to succeed, you invest yourself in it fully. It is because you can’t afford to only be involved; being involved means you’re not committed enough, and if you’re not committed enough, that thing you’ve been working on, won’t see the light of day.
Learn to commit yourself
There’s someone out there who knows everything you know and they’re probably not alone. Once you are committed to learn, there is nothing you can’t learn about. Take up your rightful place and learn.
Believe in yourself
You have got to believe in yourself before others start believing in you. Whatever is that you would like to achieve, make sure that you believe in it and trust your abilities to accomplish it.
The problem is that people tend to underestimate their capabilities that stops them to reach their true potential. It’s essential to accept yourself and believe in abilities to live your best life.
Take massive action everyday
Now that you know what you want to pursue in life, it’s time to make an action plan for it. Whether your goals are small or big, you need to commit yourself to take massive action every single day without any excuses.
Never give up, never give in.
Quitting is also a lesson; a really expensive lesson, if you ask me. You pay for that lesson with the time you lost, the energies you invested, and a major blow to your ego. However, sometimes you find yourself with your back to the wall and you need to take drastic measures to save the day. Quitting is expensive. Stay till the end. Most people quit when they are not sure of the end results, have lacked the motivation to continue, lack of faith in what they are doing and the inability to keep commitments due to a history of failures.
Have the end mind, and the rest will follow
Once you’re committed to something, your mind remains active on the same. There are no more choices to be made, just a focus on the target in front of your eyes. The result is total commitment and positive results in your life. But when you change your mind, the choice you’ve made is no longer as attractive as you previously imagined it would be.
Commit to something bigger than yourself
Let the commitment be so big as to challenge you. Soon you will achieve even better results than you anticipated. .If you have problems committing, it will be beneficial to commit in a group setting. In a committed group, everyone works for the benefit of that group. A perfect example is trying to teach a child to swim on his own vs. with a group of kids his own age.
Finally
The thing about commitment is that it means staying loyal to what you said you were going to do long after the mood you said it in has left you. Now, it is up to you to commit yourself and act on things or let them happen to you. Commitment allows us to fulfill our most basic needs and achieve our most sought after dreams. It gives us purpose. It’s never too late to learn how to commit.
