To commit

In so many instances within virtually every context that can be found in life it seems that one of the most prominent defining factors of success (in any sense of the word) is commitment. Commitment is the underlying catalyst of progress, of improvement and of change; or more generally, the path toward reaping the fruits of any particular embarkation one undertakes. Ironically, and perhaps unfortunately, it is also the one thing that people (myself included) tend to have a problem with and find so difficult to give.

This year there are so many things in my life that need fixing and rebuilding and I know that when I am brought to task the 'make or break' ingredient is going to be my commitment or the lack of it. Knowing this, as all my other New Year resolutions fade expectedly into the background with the onslaught of February and the months beyond, I hope that my one commitment- to commit- stands. And hopefully that keeps everything progressing.
