The most important part of your new commitment

Is understanding how many times you will need to recommit.

The reason we need to commit to things is because they are things we don’t often feel like doing and are easy to stray from. They are things that bring up our resistances and move us to the edge of what we already know. They are things that are easy to rationalize our way out of in favor of old patterns. They as us to be bigger than we already are, which is inevitably confronting.

As you resolve to move towards what’s important to you, what you are truly giving your word to to is becoming someone who recommits.

If it were easy, or we always wanted to do it, we wouldn’t need commitment.
