Commitment – for the long term
Vision to reality
Commitment means being in it for the long term. Whatever ‘it’ is. For your vision to become a reality, you need to commit to it. Whether ‘it’ be a small thing or a large thing.
Small children commit to learning to crawl, then walk, at a young age. They have no limiting beliefs that prevent them from achieving what they want. They go for it until it’s done.
So they achieve their goal, get on with mastering it and then commit to tackling the next goal when it comes along.
Hard but necessary
Some things in life are hard but necessary to create a better world. At the moment one major, essential, current movement is #blacklivesmatter.
Recently I saw something like ‘White Silence equals Violence’. There is truth in this as this issue has been an issue for far to many years. This discussion has taken place in homes and school rooms around the world long before now – click to watch – it’s a must watch – truly. Yet it’s still an issue.
Everything in life seems to either get harder or easier, goes up or down, goes in or out and they’re all inter-related.
Stand with, not over
When we stand together for important issues such as justice for all. Unity among humanity creates a safer, kinder world for everyone.
There will always be bad eggs among us. These people standover, not with. But justice will only prevail if you, as an individual, speak up for what you believe in. Stand with others who have the same belief as you.
Respect and accept everyone is different, but you don’t have to like what everyone says or does. There is a line, however, that is overstepped when something is not good for all. Are you willing to commit to creating a better world?
Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.
