Zits and pimples are classic teen problems, so why do you still have to deal with them as an adult? Learn about the many factors involved in adult acne and an effective, drug-free way to get rid of it.
Recently I read a post by a coach and teacher I respect, Kendra Cunov, on Getting Clear on Commitment. It was thought-provoking, as always, and made me sit down and re-examine what I’m truly committed to. Not “I’m committed, but …” What I’m truly committed to.
I’ve done this before, notably last December when I was doing an annual re-examination of my life and commitments. It’s always useful to re-examine what you’re committed to, and to re-commit. But as the year has progressed, it’s become clear that I’m only truly committed to some of the things on my list.
So I’ve been spending some time looking at what makes me truly committed in one area (my family, for example), and not so committed in another (reading books).
What I’ve found is that when I’m truly committed, there is a deeper feeling, in my gut, that there is no way I’m going to fail at the commitment.
It’s not, “I really want to fulfill this commitment” … instead, it’s, “There is no question in my mind I’m going to fulfill it.”
When I feel discomfort and have an urge to put off the commitment, if I’m not really committed, I’ll justify putting it off. If I’m truly committed, there’s no doubt in my mind that I’ll make it happen.
To paraphrase a teacher of mine, if I’m committed, I become a man who would walk through walls to make it happen.
What are you truly committed to? Are you willing to walk through walls for it? Is there no question in your mind that you’ll do it?
If you’re not fully committed, you have three choices:
So let go of the habit of being half-committed, and either let go of a half-commitment (best option, usually), or deepen to true commitment.
For me, the process of deepening commitments this year has looked something like this:
At this point, I spend some time deliberating and meditating. My deepening session goes a bit like this:
This isn’t an exact science, but I’m hoping you can see through this example that it’s a process of searching your heart for what you care most deeply about, and what your heart’s priorities are.
Deepen your commitments for the sake of the people you love most.
