A lot of emphasis has been made about the passion to pursue our purpose with a little on the importance of commitment. Passion will fire you up and get you started but, when challenges come and your resolve is tested, it is commitment to your dream that will stand and see you through. Commitment will definitely carry you farther than passion because the integrity of commitment is far more potent than the fire of passion. There will be days that the fires of passion will just be embers and it will take your commitment to fan them back to flame. The road to the actualization of a vision starts with the adrenalin rush of passion and this is a good beginning, but we know that for fire to achieve desired results, it has to keep burning. Passion has to be maintained until the vision is realised and that is not a small fit, so we need to constantly add the fuel of commitment in order to keep the fire burning even during seasons of rain and wet weather that try to slow us down or completely quench our fire. Resilience can only be born out of the degree of commitment we have for the achievement of our set goal. Many fires burn out and dreams die because there was not enough commitment to create the staying power to keep them burning. Stay true to your vision by keeping the integrity of your commitment, that is the only area in which you will find it difficult to get help. You can get all the help you can to make you continue until the job is done, but you are the only one who can decide to stay committed no matter how much you waver. When the chips are down, all you will be able to totally rely on only one person and that will be yourself. Do have a beautiful day!
