Commitment - Give Of Yourself To Achieve In Life

Commitment is a responsibility to yourself.

You show that you want to see the job done. To see your project through. To get to your destination. To achieve your aim. You will put the effort in to accomplish that.

You won't let things get in your way.

You will rise to the challenge of any obstacles and overcome any challenges. Your effort is important to you and you want to give of your best. When you look back you want to feel proud of the effort you put in.

And what of success?

Remember that success is not always coming first, or gaining the major prize. Sometimes success is stepping out of your comfort zone. Doing that little bit extra. Taking another step in the road of life. Achieving another little rung of your own ladder of life.

And questions?

At times you will be tested. And you will question and wonder. And start thinking about what is really happening in our life. What you are doing. What you are involved in. What direction your life is going in. At times like these words can be very powerful - healing, soothing, comforting, relaxing . . .

The power of words . . .

As we read we can let the words gently flow over us. We can let the words quietly be spoken to us in there own sweet way. We can let ourselves open to the thoughts and their meanings, the ideas and their origin, the phrases and the understandings that they have ready for us.

Let them gently and slowly impact on our lives as we read - and in the future when we recall their meaning for us.

I hope this page will do this and more. I hope this example will help to express life in an insightful, penetrating but easy to read manner. And help us to question the lives we lead and the manner in which we live them.

We all have ambitions that we want to fulfill
we want to make progress and not stand still
for this we need commitment amongst other things
like enthusiasm, purpose, passion and yearnings

To improve our lot beyond what is true
we are willing to wait for our breakthrough
if we know it sits there on the horizon
that will come close with our concerted action

For there may be challenges this way and that
to dissuade us and pull us away from our target
what we then need is our dedication to come to the fore
to help us drive forward fuelled by our desire

To achieve that which means most to us
contentment, satisfaction, happiness are parts of our success
we just need to remain loyal and see-through
our effort, so that our hopes, wishes, aims can come true.

What in life is more important than commitment
to whatever cause we follow we need remain an aspirant
so that we can realize what our heart does desire
we can provide the motive, the energy and the fire

Ambitions are nothing without real commitment
to their cause and the action that is a requirement
to ensure that they may become real and be substantial
our dreams in reality is not inconsequential

For they can mean a lot to us
a responsibility, a duty, sometimes a compass
by which we can decide the direction our life will go
we have the desire we just need the ammo

Of method and practice that will help our cause
this is important for us and our life because
we want to go further and reach our goal
it may be hard work and not in the park a stroll

But then nothing worthwhile was easily achieved
for then it might not be appreciated or much valued
whereas if you give of your best effort
a little mark on life you'll be able to assert.

With commitment I may make this pledge
I'll put the effort in even if it takes me to the edge
of what I can give, but I know where I want to go
as when my promise manifests I vow I'll say bravo

All best,
Martin
