Commitment - Who Are You Rolling With?

J. Calvin Tibbs

By definition, to commit is to roll.  This Latin word implies continuous movement.  What does commitment mean to you? Does it change with your feelings? Do you roll this way one day, and that way tomorrow?  Perhaps slowing your roll is in order.

Commitment is a promise to make an effort over a sustained period of time, regardless of your feelings. It's not the same as dedication, which involves providing more intense focus and effort in a short amount of time. Commitment is about staying true to your word and following through with whatever you said you would do, even if it is hard. 

It's not easy. It involves making a conscious decision to keep going and staying on track. Commitment is an essential part of any successful endeavor, whether it be in business, relationships or personal development. Without commitment, nothing would ever get done! So take the time to think about what you really want out of life and make sure that you are willing to stay faithful.
