I commit to knowing myself authentically and completely.
2. Speaking the truth:
I commit to expressing myself authentically.
3. Take a stand for integrity:
I commit to acknowledging my feelings, taking responsibility for all my actions, and keeping all my agreements.
4. Take a stand for creativity:
I commit to the full embrace and expression of my creativity, and to being a catalyst for the creativity of others.
“The only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment.”
-Anthony Robbins
