Today we talk about a big word - commitment. This word is often used but its true meaning is almost never fully understood when it's said. It's thrown around lightly and used outside of its original intent, without the strength of the pledge that was meant to be behind it. A commitment to a marriage - with the mindset of an "out" if it doesn't go as planned. A commitment to a goal - until the going gets tough and the hurdles get too high. These are just a couple things that often get put in the "commitment" category when the outcomes can tell a different story - that full commitment was never really there in the first place.
It's easy to be "committed" when things are going your way. It's when the going gets tough that your level of commitment shows. Commitment is not always convenient. Commitment is not always easy. In fact, most things worth committing to in a big way I can guarantee you will not be. When the feelings that were there when you made the commitment have faded, that's when your real commitment level is tested.
Let's dive deep into this word and discover what it means to be truly committed to something, to someone, so we can move forward with that intent in the things we desire to be and deserve our 100% commitment to in our lives.
