Commitment is the reason for both success and failure

Success is built on dreams, commitment, determination, and dedication. Failure is also composed of these four, but it’s the last that earns us the name “failure”. As with success, commitment makes what is good get better. Through commitment, we reach our dreams and get closer to our goals. The more commitment we have, the more we go for what we want. It is the same thing with failure, commitment will make a bad thing worse and make our failures become miserable.

The more you give yourself to any fulfilling endeavor, the more enthusiastic you become about achieving your goal. Failure happens the saw way, the harder you work on a bad job, the more frustrated you become. It’s the same with a failure, as with any successful accomplishment.

When you commit yourself to a failing course, it becomes bigger and harder to get away from. And that is a big enough reason to avoid giving your commitment to negative things. Commitment to the wrong thing is only hard work for the wrong thing. So do yourself a favor and look at your life and purpose. And if you know what that is, it’s better to stay on track. And when you feel your heart being pulled in this direction, jump out of it. The first step is the hardest one. Don’t forget this, failure is painful. The pain is temporary, and you learn from it.

It is possible to be committed to what you know is a negative thing and to do it with enthusiasm and pride. We cannot be committed to what we know is negative, and just smile through the pain and loss. Something has to go to make this possible. A commitment, be it to a wrong idea, a wrong relationship, a wrong ideology, or a wrong life path, is a bondage that holds us back from what is most important for us: the pursuit of happiness. When you can’t be committed to what you know is not right for you, it’s time to start looking for something else to fill the space.

You can also think about this in terms of relationships. When you go all-in in a good relationship, the potential for your happiness is very high. You feel great because you love someone, you believe in him, and you trust him. If you go all-in with a bad person, your emotions are low, your trust is low, and your well-being is low. The more commitment you give to a toxic relationship, the lower you go. So start by being sure that the commitment you are making is of your own free will, and then it becomes much easier to commit to it.

But we can’t stay in a toxic relationship and then keep doing the same thing over and over and expect different results. That’s another vicious circle, and we will continue to fall right back into the same hole.

So next time you are deciding to commit to something, be very sure it is right for you. It takes real dedication to your goal. You will have to learn to ignore your negative emotions, get more confident in what you are doing, be proud of your commitment to it, and hang on for the ride. Commitment is painful, but it’s also the most important thing you can do for yourself. So if you know what you want to do and are determined to do it, start your journey, and hang on. It is possible to be committed to a wrong thing, but it’s far better to commit to the right one. It’s all about commitment. And with commitment comes happiness.

So, commit to whatever it is you want to do, then look for the happiness that comes from the pursuit of that goal. In doing that, you are going to be happier, you will be more fulfilled, and you will see your life expand. There is nothing more powerful than happiness. It will help you to get through any problems you may face, and will be your constant companion, especially when life takes you places you didn’t see coming. You may need more help getting there than others because some of your problems will be emotional and physical, but if you learn how to embrace the happiness you will be on your way.

You cannot repair a toxic relationship with commitment nor can you fix a bad job with commitments. If you work on fixing one, you are likely to end up with another. You can change a bad attitude about a thing with commitment, but you can’t change the thing. You can commit to a goal, but if that goal is not right for you, you will simply spend a lifetime trying to fix it and be unhappy with a flawed product. You may find yourself not knowing what you want because the things you want are not ones you think you need to get to your goal.

But the key is to commit, commit to what you know is right, commit to what you want, and commit to your happiness. It’s a double-edged sword because you may have to give up on some things, but the best things in life are worth the sacrifice.
So as you think about what you want to do, try to ignore the things you want that do not meet your commitment level. For instance, if you want to change your job, remember that the thing you are trying to change is not really the job you are in, but the person you are with. If that’s the case, you might be able to change the job, but you cannot change the person. The best thing you can do is to commit to the career you want, and then figure out a way to meet the commitment level you have set for yourself.

You can also look at relationships through this lens. Is the person you are with the right person for you and is he or she worth your commitment? If not, let it go, and let the people out there who can be the right person for you. Think about this: if the goal of your life is to be happy, would you really want to spend your life with someone who is not willing to commit to your happiness? It sounds like a stupid question, but it isn’t. Sometimes relationships are not what we want them to be, they have strayed away from what we want. If that happens, let it go, committing to such will make you grind more and make your life more miserable.

An important side note to this is to be wary of anyone who is willing to do something for you that you aren’t willing to do for yourself. If you cannot commit to yourself, how can you commit to someone else? So always have this question in the back of your mind. “If I can’t commit to my happiness, how can I commit to someone else?”
