Commitment



It takes a deep commitment
to change and an even
deeper commitment to grow.

Ralph Ellison

   

Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment
to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal -- a commitment to excellence -- that will enable you to attain the success you seek.       -Mario Andretti

   

The moment one definitely commits oneself, the Providence moves, too.  All sorts of things occur to help one that would never have otherwise occurred.  A whole stream of events issue from the commitment, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no one could have dreamt would come one's way.  Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.  Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.  Begin it now.       -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

   
Individual commitment to a group effort -- that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.       -Vince Lombardi
   

The test before us as a people is not whether our commitments match our will and our courage; but whether we have the will and courage to match our commitments.       -Lyndon B. Johnson

   

The people who say you are not facing reality actually mean that you are not facing their idea of reality. Reality is above all else a variable.  With a firm enough commitment, you can sometimes create a reality which did not exist before.      -Margaret Halsey

    

If you deny yourself commitment  what can you do with your life?       -Harvey Fierstein

It's not how physically strong you are that matters, it's the level of commitment that you hold in your heart that will get you through the hard parts.       -Scott Rogers
   
Commitment creates a powerful radiant energy that activates all sorts of "miracles" within and around you.       -Susan Jeffers
   

There's a difference between interest and commitment.  When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstance permit.  When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.       -unattributed

   

There are only two options regarding commitment.  You’re either IN or you’re OUT.  There’s no such thing as life in between.       -Pat Riley

    

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world.   Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.       -Margaret Mead

   

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.  Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans:  that the moment one definitely commits oneself, the providence moves too.  A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no person could have dreamt would have come his or her way.       -William H. Murray

   

Commitment is what transforms
a promise into reality.

Abraham Lincoln

Commitment is never
an act of moderation!

Kenneth Mills

   

We only regard those unions as real examples of love and real marriages in which a fixed and unalterable decision has been taken. If men or women contemplate an escape, they do not collect all their powers for the task. In none of the serious and important tasks of life do we arrange such a "getaway."  We cannot love and be limited.       -Alfred Adler

   
   

Commitment unlocks the doors of imagination, allows vision, and gives us the "right stuff" to turn our dreams into reality.       -James Womack

    

Commitment is a line you must cross. . . . it is the difference between dreaming and doing.      -Bernie Fuchs

   

The relationship between commitment and doubt is by no means an antagonistic one.  Commitment is healthiest when it is not without doubt but in spite of doubt.       -Rollo May

   
Unless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes; but no plans.        -Peter F. Drucker
