Commitment & Self-Discipline & PatienceCommitting to a dream is not a one-time occurrence, it must be done daily. The test of commitment is action. Trying is lying, to do is to be true. What you commit yourself to become determines what are are. (Tony Campolo) When you have a solid Commitment & Goals, you have a better chance at reaching the goals. Devoting a little of yourself to everything means committing a great deal of yourself to nothing. Plans change, decisions don't, if it was backed by commitment. I would rather fail in a cause that will someday triumph, than triumph in a cause that will someday fail. Consider the postage stamp: it's usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing till it gets there. Quitting is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Whatever you do, don't do it halfway. (Bob Beadman) I will demand a commitment to excellence & victory, and that is what life is all about. (Vince Lombardi) First say to yourself what you would be, then commit to do whatever it takes. What you commit yourself to be will change you from what you are to what you can be. You will find that achievement is easy when your outer goals become an inner commitment. Vision without commitment is just a wish. Making decisions in life isn't complicated, but making the commitment to those decisions is. If you don't make a total commitment to what you are doing, then you start looking to bail out the first time the boat starts leaking. The moment you completely commit to what you are doing, that is when God moves in to help. There is a difference in interest & commitment. When you are just interested in something , you only do it when it is convenient. But when you are totally committed you don't accept any excuses, only results. The world will always give you the opportunity to quit but only the world calls quitting an opportunity. (Clint Brown) 1) The pain of self-discipline. 2) The pain of regrets. And you choose which one you want. Cooperation is doing with a smile what you have to do anyway. The person who disciplines himself to do those things that he doesn't want do, becomes successful. You have to want to be the best before you can even reach for that goal, and you have to be prepared to sacrifice a lot to get there. (Billy Jean King) It's not hard being good from time to time, what's touch is being good everyday. (Willie Mays) If you are going to be successful in life, you are going to have to learn to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. One way to stand ahead & shoulders above the crowd, is to do regular, ordinary things in an extraordinary & supernatural way with enthusiasm. The most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the things you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not. (Thomas Huxley) Patience is bitter but its fruit is sweet. There is no greater reward than which comes as a result of holding fast to the word and will of God. It takes time to succeed because success is merely the natural reward of taking time to do anything well. There are no short-cuts to any place worth going. The way to the top is neither swift nor easy. Nothing worthwhile ever happens in a hurry- so be patient. Because of impatience, we are driven out of Gods will.
