You want commitment from others, but are you even committed to your own growth?
What is your relationship with yourself like?
Are you in a great relationship with ‘YOU’?
Are you committed to making YOU become the best version it can be?
Many people seek committed relationships with other people, but…
They are not even committed to themselves.
It begs the question – how do you intend to pour from an empty?
Still don’t get it?
Lemme try to break it down.
” Love your neighbor, as you love yourself.” – The Good Book says.
Have you sat down to ponder on those words?
” … as you love yourself.”
Not more than you love yourself o.
Okay.
This will lead to another question;
Do you love yourself?
Your answer to this question will lead back to the very first question – Are you in a committed relationship with yourself?
Because if you aren’t…
How do you intend to love others correctly?
If you can’t love yourself, how can you know WHAT it feels like to love and HOW to love other?
Back to Commitment,
What are you committed to in your life?
Are you committed to growth?
Are you committed to discipline?
Are you committed to self-awareness?
Are you committed to personal development?
The thing is, the things you are committed to will determine the outcome of your life;
– Great
– Or average
And since YOU are the one you’ll be spending the rest of your life with,
If you are not committed to building the best relationship with YOURSELF…
You’ll live to regret it.
Here’s how it works.
The things you do daily show what you’re committed to:
– a better life
– an average life
Meaning, you are either currently doing the things that make you committed to building a great life
Or…
You’re currently doing the things that are making you committed to living an average life.
No in-between, sadly.
You are either committed to one or the other.
So…
Which are you committed to?
What are the things you are doing to show that you’re committed to making the most out of your life?
Got any?
Wait…
What little things do you do daily to strengthen your commitment to becoming the best of YOU?
You don’t even need to do anything to show you’re committed to a mediocre life.
Just stay the same.
Follow your routine.
Keep your mindset fixed.
And you’re good to go. Easy peasy, yeah?
Yeah.
But…
If you want to live to your full potential…
You’ve got to be willing to put in the work.
That’s the hard part.
You have to be committed to DOING the difficult or boring but NECESSARY things you need to do to GROW!
No shortcuts.
The process comes with pain.
But it’s the pain that’ll transform your life.
Commitment to becoming a better you won’t be easy.
You need to be disciplined to stick to the commitment because…
There’ll be many distractions along the way.
And it’s easy to get carried away if you forget about your commitment to growth for a second.
The sad part is…
And once you get carried away,
you may not have the courage
Or discipline to get you
Back on track.
When dem say prevention is better than cure, you think say na joke abi?
And if your discipline is not solid yet…
Here’s where I’ll tell you to
Avoid anything or anyone that’ll make you forget that you’re committed to becoming the highest version of yourself.
No, it doesn’t make you weak.
Allow your discipline muscle to develop.
And soon enough, you’ll be able to be in the sea of distractions and temptations WITHOUT getting carried away – or drown in them.
Na time e go take.
But, keep showing up to build yourself.
Let your commitment to yourself be so strong it’ll extend to your commitment to your relationships with other people.
Do you understand?
It’s the least you can do for yourself sha.
Stay Sharp!
