February’s Theme is Commitment

The theme this month for 100Bloggers.com is commitment.

To what are you commited? Are you putting your time, energy, and creativity toward that to which you are commited?

I just re-read a commitment article I posted here last November. It still energizes me. It still touches me deeply. It’s still my truth. So, with an apology for repetition, I’m reproducing part of that article here in hopes others will put words to their commitments, too. If not here, then consider putting your pen to paper or fingers to keyboard somewhere.

Writing it makes it so.

To This I Commit:

I commit to my loved ones that I am and will always be unconditionally loving of them. There is nothing that they will ever do that will cause me to withdraw or withhold my love. This includes unconditional love of myself.

I commit to continuous personal growth, to a journey of personal improvement in my humanity and to becoming the best human being that I can be.

I commit to my health and fitness and to recognizing and honoring my inherent wellness of mind, body, and soul. I feed all three the naturally occurring, healthful energies of good food, exercise, and positive-being, expecting to sustain wellness of mind, body, and soul right up to the instant of my death.

I commit to appreciate life, including each instant of my being. I view life as a journey that is both easy and adventurous, though filled at times with difficulty and sadness. Still, it is life and I commit to never take it for granted.

I commit to non-judgment of others. I accept the behaviors of others as the perfect results of who they are choosing to be, even though I might not choose their behaviors for my own and I might choose to remain apart from them.
