Basically what I'm getting at here is the ordering together of things, not necessarily language. There are certain things when done in the correct order work out very well, yet when not done in order they don't seem to work out at all. Just as an example you could have all of the ingredients for a cake, but there's an order in which things must be done. Makes sense, right? You need to put the ingredients together and then put it in the oven. Sounds incredibly simple, doesn't it?
However, what I've noticed with people is that when it comes to commitment they usually want to work out the details before they commit. Try to tell me you don't live this way? Have you ever noticed that things never seem to work themselves out just right so that you can get to the goals you want to achieve? Well, consider the possibility that the circumstances and situations and challenges of your life will never work themselves out for you. It's not personal. Life is not out to get you. It's just doing what life does.
What am I saying? It's never a question of the circumstances and considerations working themselves out, it's always a question of "ARE YOU TRULY COMMITTED?" I would go so far as to say that until you get committed to what you want, you'll never handle your circumstances. However, haven't you also had the experience of just saying to yourself I'm gonna do whatever it takes, no matter what, and then handling the challenges. Haven't you looked back and asked yourself, how did I do that? Well it seems to me that when one is truly committed amazing things happen. At a level of commitment called "BE AND DO WHATEVER IT TAKES!" miraculous things can start to happen. Would you like to experience miracles in your life? GET COMMITTED!
"But when I said that nothing had been done I erred in one important matter. We had definitely committed ourselves and were halfway out of our ruts. We had put down our passage money--booked a sailing to Bombay. This may sound too simple, but is great in consequence. 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, then 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 man could have dreamt would have come his way. I learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets:
Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!"
-W. H. Murray in The Scottish Himalaya Expedition, 1951.
Until one is committed, even in the best of circumstances, they see nothing but obstacles and reasons why something won't work. However, someone in the same set of circumstances when truly committed will see opportunity after oportunity and reasons why it will work. So are you committed or just involved? If you keep seeing obstacles...well you know the answer. Perhaps what your dreams need from you right now is for you to simply draw that line in the sand, step over and never look back!
Until next time...

These words are very profound. It takes a well versed person to decipher them and come to a conclusion of what you should do (need to do – commit, maybe without understanding) to accomplish want he/she wants in life
