Toolkit - Commitment

Posted by Jerry Lopper Nov 6, 2006

Welcome to Personal Development Toolkit, a feature appearing every Monday. Each week, Personal Development Toolkit will feature a one word tool you can use to construct additions to your personal growth and development. Each week's toolkit will include a brief description of the tool and a suggestion for using it.

Commitment: Commitment is a strong word, declaring more than intent and much, much more than to try. Commitment is a dedication to do or achieve something. This dedication is non-negotiable to the committed person.

Example: Jeremy is committed to personal development. He always has one or two growth activities in process, and several more planned for the future. Don't bother trying to convince Jeremy to forego his personal growth class tonight, his attendance is non-negotiable.

This Week: Answer the question: To What Am I Committed? Write down your commitments. Are you really committed? Are these non-negotiable? Is your list inspiring and energizing?
