Daily Nugget #188
commitment is a four-letter word
how often do you dodge it?
unwilling to look in to its eyes
unwilling to take the risk.
there are some things to which we are fully committed.
a no-brainer.
others
yow.
‘can i do it?’ you ask yourself.
‘what if it isn’t what i want when i get there?’
feel locked in? trapped?
i have a few committed people in my life.
they awe me with their depth.
willing to fully lean in
totally sure
totally committed.
totally realizing that surprises and left turns are required.
their focus is piercing.
i find myself rubbing my palms together
getting ready to warm my hands by the fire.
instead i feel warmed by inspiration
and
the movement that it brings.
lack of commitment feels draining.
much energy waisted in contemplation without action.
what if we instead
practiced practicing
and
commit to SOMEthing consciously.
be willing to get messy
be willing to be surprised
as we
lean IN to the life that calls to us:
‘commit’.
why not?
