Commitment

One of life's cornerstones. Without it, it's difficult to do anything--especially build. You have to commit to daily habits and practices for most things if you ever want to make anything happen: relationships and partnerships, being physically fit, writing a book, acquiring an education, 'building' a business, building a house.

As much as freedom and flexibility might sound attractive, commitment is actually far sexier. This devotiation to something greater than yourself is admirable. Respectable. And putting something else first other than your fleeting emotions is just that.

So fear not my commitment-phobe friends. The next time you have to choose, choose commitment and see what happens. See what beautiful things come from saying yes to that person or project. See what beautiful things you build. It is far sexier to build something from daily habits, than to be open to experiencing everything on a whim. Step forward in confidence. All will be well. Commit.
