Commitment

Today a section from Advanced Riskology stuck out:

What is commitment?

Merriam-Webster defines it as “the state of being obligated or emotionally compelled.”

Commitment, in my mind, is the resolution to succeed. It’s the burning desire that absolutely has to be present in order to do your impossible [objective]. It’s the drive that keeps you moving forward when defeat looks certain. It’s your obligation to risk everything for success because living without it seems pointless.

This applies to a lot in my life, but it especially reminds me of the advice I gave a loved one recently. If you really do believe in something (or love someone, or need something) nothing should deter you from it. If it is a worthy enough to believe (or love, or need) then it is worthy enough to commit to (or stand behind, or submit yourself to, or care about). It is not impossible, only hard.

Sorry for the ambiguous nature of this post.
