Are you really so committed if you truly enjoy what you do or who you’re with? Think about that.
To me, commitment happens when you don’t enjoy it. We say “we just grew apart”’ “I just got tired”, or “life happened” or whatever thing we say to justify changing our mind.
No, commitment is when it’s hard. Commitment is when your mama made your favorite banana pudding, but you don’t eat the whole thing because you’re committed to your healthy lifestyle. Commitment is when your husband is doing that “or for worse” thing and you want to throw his clothes in the front yard, but you don’t because you’re committed to your life together.
Commitment happens when things are hard, when you have to dig deep and remind yourself you made the decision already to stay, to persist, and do what you said what you’d do. Commitment doesn’t happen when things are easy, or you wouldn’t have had to commit to it because you’d be doing it anyway.
