COMMITMENT....2



The Power of Commitment

Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans:   that the moment one definitely commits oneself then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.  Begin it now.          
By – Goethe

They don’t write about people who are saying …“I would’ve done that … I could’ve done that … I should’ve done that.”  They write about the people who are doing it. Five hundred millionaires were asked what really caused them to be so successful. Most said, “I finally decided to get serious.” Many of those millionaires also said that they had faced their biggest adversity right before becoming successful … in other words … they hit rock bottom right before they hit their peak.


You don’t want to be a person with

PERMANENT POTENTIAL.

Bring the magic you have in you out where we all can see it.

COMMITMENT,,,,,1




Committing to the Commitment

At the age of 67, Thomas Edison watched as fire destroyed much of his work and equipment. Time to retire? Time to hang up the lab coat?

No way.

"All our mistakes are burned up," the inventor said. "Now we can start anew."

There is a time to retire, but Edison knew his time hadn't come. The fire that consumed his work didn't destroy the fire that burned within him to continue his work. Edison's commitment remained.

People tend to associate commitment with emotions. If they feel the right way, then they can follow through on their commitments. But true commitment doesn't work that way. Commitment is not an emotion; it's a character quality that enables us to reach our goals.

Emotions go up and down all the time, but commitment must remain rock solid. A solid team - whether it's in business, sports, marriage or a volunteer organization - must have team players who are solidly committed to the team.
