Commitment can be tough!
Sometimes it seems as though we are not getting anywhere with our commitments.
We want to stay committed to ourselves and / or to others, but we fail.
When we fail in a commitment the important question to ask ourselves is; did we fail because we were not receiving reward for our commitment or did we fail because it was hard?
Some commitments are easy and some are difficult. You know the difference.
The commitment to brush our teeth before we go to bed at night is easy. Who doesn't want healthy teeth and gums?
The commitment to meet a friend for dinner is easy. Who doesn't want to socialize with people we care about?
The commitment to do our wash and clean the house is more difficult. Who doesn't want clean clothes and a house, but wouldn't it be nice to get someone else to do it?
The commitment to help a friend move can be a pain. There is always something better to do when faced with this situation, but if you asked for help wouldn't you want to be able to rely on your friends?
The commitment to our relationships when we are irritated is challenging. It would be nice if everyone did things exactly as you would like them to, but then things would be boring and there wouldn't be the differences we see in one another that makes life more interesting, and do you really want to spend all your time with your exact duplicate?
Make note of the rewards for your commitments. All commitments have rewards, even the unpleasant ones.
Make a commitment to evaluate your commitments. Note the rewards of your commitments.
And remember, it's okay to let go of commitments that are not rewarding to you.
Be committed and inspired!
