Today's Gift
Today's Gift
Commitment is what
transforms a promise into reality. It is the words that speak boldly of your
intentions. And the actions which speak louder than the words.
--Anonymous
As we walk through life, there are many things and people we
may lose, or lose out on, if we are unwilling to commit. We need to make a
commitment for relationships to grow beyond the dating stage, to have the home
or apartment we want, the job we want, or the car we desire.
We must commit, on deep levels, to careers, to goals, to family, friends, and recovery. Trying something will not enable us to succeed. Committing ourselves will.
Yet, we need never commit before we are ready.
Sometimes, our fear of commitment is telling us something. We may not want to commit to a particular relationship, purchase, or career. Other times, it is a matter of our fears working their way out. Wait, then. Wait until the issue becomes clear.
Trust yourself. Ask your Higher Power to remove your fear of commitment. Ask your Higher Power to remove your blocks to commitment. Ask your Higher Power for guidance.
Ask yourself if you are willing to lose what you will not commit too. Then listen, quietly. And wait until a decision seems consistently right and comfortable.
We need to be able to commit, but we need never commit until we are ready. Trust that you will commit when you want to.
Higher Power, guide me in making my commitments. Give me the courage to make those that are right for me, the wisdom to not commit to that which does not feel right, and the patience to wait until I know.
