The Power of Commitment
No, I’m not referring to when your Dad had Uncle Bob committed to the asylum because he wouldn’t stop running around the back yard in the nude. I’m talking about the power you feel when you give your word and commit to an act, promise or pledge.You are committing to a trust. Someone is trusting you to follow through, to act as you say you will and expecting a certain outcome. This is the area where most of my female audience will recognize a deep-seated desire for a man to commit to them with love, devotion, and of course, the all important diamond. So Bucky, this means they trust you to show up at the altar, say “I do” and sweep them off their feet in matrimonial bliss.
Commitment, and the power that follows, is also a virtuous act. When you commit to something you are expressing your honor, depth of character and strength as a person to stand by your word. Before writing this article I hadn’t thought about commitment being a virtue, but all of the characteristics surrounding how your commitment is upheld tells a lot about the type of person you are and how your are viewed by friends, peers and relatives.
The power is in the completing of the obligation you’ve signed up for. There is tremendous personal power in accomplishment, seeing a job well done, a commitment honored and someone very pleased at your willingness to follow through. The power is in the energy you create around you. The mention of your name when you aren’t around conjures good remarks, possible envy and definitely trust. The Law of Attraction will spring into action on the positive energy and bring a whole slew of good tidings you way. Remember, like attracts like, so good work attracts good results and opportunities for more.
When you offer a commitment, you put yourself out on the proverbial limb for all to see. They will have the opportunity to watch how you perform. A little like your first school play when you were a cucumber, remember?
The more you perform this act well, no matter what the commitment, the better you get at it and the more your stock rises in other peoples eyes. They know they can count on you. With an employer, this is money in the bank. You stand out. You look polished. You look successful. And guess what? You are. Soon, better employment positions will be offered to you.
The more you challenge yourself to honor your word and keep your commitments the more you will grow as a person. Your work ethic strengthens, your personal life philosophy deepens, the more you will enjoy life and those around you.
Achieve what you can using the God given gifts you have, capitalize on your strengths, and be honorable and your amazing life will astound you.
In the end, it’s just one man’s opinion, mine.
