Good morning class!!! Today we are going to do something new and exciting!!! Let's make and keep a commitment!!!
Does everyone know what a commitment is???
Silence.
Anyone?? How about you Claire?? Andy? Any answer?? No one knows???
Well, we had best review the term. Everyone take out your notes and remember to jot down the date.....
Commitment: (noun) an agreement or promise to do something in the future. (According to dictionary.com)
That's the dictionary version of commitment. Does anyone out there actually know what the real world meaning of the word is???
I didn't think so.
So many people don't know the meaning of the word commitment. Or if they do know the meaning of the word, they don't use it properly.
When you're committed to something, whether it be a choir or cast or team or band, you have promised to stick with them, no matter how wretched you feel or how tired you are or how stressed out you feel. By committing yourself to them, you've promised them you will be at every single practice and rehearsal, whether you want to be there or not.
People don't understand that. People have gotten this idea into their heads that makes them think that they can skip out on commitments because they don't feel like doing what they promised. That's wrong. If you make a commitment, you should fufill it. When you're dedicating yourself to a group, its not about you. Its about the group. If you're gone, the group will fall apart and shatter into a million pieces.
The same thing happens when people commit to one another in a relationship. Everything starts out fine. They love each other in the beginning. They're seen together everywhere and don't associate with anyone from the opposite sex in a flirty way. They are totally commited to each other.
For the first week.
Over time, the couple begins to branch out. One person begins to flirt again, associating more and more with other people instead of their true "love". In the end, one is found cheating on the other and one heart ends up broken.
Why don't people keep to commitments that they make? Or at least come up with the courage to say that they are not able to keep the commitment, instead of skirting around the topic?
It's horrible to watch people break commitments. You can only watch, knowing that someone will be hurt because they were counting on the committed person.
If you know that you won't be able to keep to a commitment or you know that you don't want to keep to a commitment, then don't make the commitment. Seriously. Its that simple.
Commitments.
Think about them before you make them.
