Here I go offering another perspective on commitment and how you can do it even better. You should be doing it better. We all have certain commitments in life; our jobs, relationships, health, finances, etc. etc..
Let’s take your job or relationships for instance. You might not even be fully committed to stay so that’s a good place to start. Many of our commitments are fleeting, we need to commit and recommit all the time. One day we love our job/relationship, the next day we’re headed for the door. But… we’re committed to stay. Maybe? Likely we’ve committed to stick it out no matter what and to stay no matter if it’s good or bad. This is commitment right?
Most peoples vows in marriage (fairly formal) as well as other “committed” relationships have certain agreements that have been negotiated some implied, some overt. It’s probably the same with your job.
How about once you get past the whole committing to stick around even when shit gets all fucked up, you actually commit to do it well… you commit to stay and you ALSO commit to do well? Commit to stay in your relationship, with your job, or your finances and get that completely out of the way and then for extra credit you commit to do it well. And continue to do better and better and better.
How many times have you just held on for dear life in a relationship and wait for it to get back to an easy time? What will it take to do well after you stay?
