The word commit comes from the Latin word committere, which means to connect, entrust. When we stand behind our words, we demonstrate commitment. Commitment exists when our actions meet the expectation of our words - when theres a congruency between intent, words and action. Consider the following concepts on commitment and get inspired to live to your maximum potential. 1. Commitment is connection! Commitment is the connection between our values, intentions and our actions. Connection is the coming together of more than one element, while commitment is the giving of ourselves to it, the surrender. The connections we make generate our commitments, just as our commitments generate more profound connections. 2. Commitment is what drives passion! Passion is that which deeply stirs us. Its the fire from within and that which motivates us. When passion is missing, our actions lack meaning and we dont get the results we want. Without passion, our actions are obligatory and lack velocity. Commitment emanates from passion -- passion is the seed from which commitment blossoms! 3. Commitment is persistence. If one is committed, ones support is uncompromising and unending. One is willing to do anything in support of the commitment. This applies to love as much as it applies to professional or global commitments. Commitment drives us and anchors us during challenging times. Commitment helps us to maintain our integrity; we persist to that which were committed. 4. Commitment is conscious! Commitment requires insight and self-awareness -- one must know what ones values and ideals in order to commit to them! Do you know someone whos a conscientious and productive worker but whos not happy? Such a person frequently lacks insight and self-awareness - commitment is difficult if you dont know whats most important to you! Commitment requires an ability to observe self and make conscious decisions. 5. Commitment is purposeful. Commitment involves choice - saying yes to our values and to our passions! Commitment is never haphazard or random. While we may lose our perspective from time to time, commitment always involves choice and intent. Commitment enables us to be purposeful. 6. Commitment is self-expression. Self-expressionis the culmination of who we are and how were being. When theres perfect alignment and congruency between who we are and how were being, we are authentic and fully self-expressed.This is wonderfully fulfilling! If commitment is the ultimate expression of our values and who we are, self-expressionis a core ingredient of commitment. 7. Commitment empowers vision. Does commitment generate the envisioning process, or does vision generate commitment? Either way, commitment and vision are inexplicably tied together. The is commitment empowers our vision. Expand your vision while you deepen your commitment in order to produce powerful results! 8. Commitment inspires us to be and do our best. We aim for the sky and shoot for the stars! We refuse to accept less than the best from our selves and others. Our commitment inspires us to reach for quality and excellence. We continually enlarge and clarify our vision - this contributes to us living our personal best. 9. Commitment lives in communication. Communication involves verbal and nonverbal interaction. While commitment lives in the declaration and words, evidence of commitment lives in the actions we take and dont take. Be attentive for evidence of commitment in communication. 10. Commitment is surrender. Commitment is the giving of ourselves to what we most believe and want. It is the merging of our ideals and our being. We surrender to our ideals and with commitment, live them. We create what we want when we surrender to our commitment.
