"It takes a deep commitment to change and an even deeper commitment to grow.”
-Ralph Ellison
How do the words above resonate with you?
Pause here and free yourself from distractions:
Take a deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... calm your mind and be present...
Gay Hendricks speaks about a soul-level commitment:
A soul-level commitment means making a vow to yourself, a vow to wonder, to question, and to come to know your truth without burdening yourself with the limits of judgement and blame.
Committing to commitment to yourself...
How might you phrase this commitment to yourself … What questions would you as yourself? Put it into words…wonder/curiosity... question without judgement or blame...
To achieve a soul-level commitment a change in behavior is necessary. Iyanla Vanzant describes change in detail:
Change means voluntarily removing yourself from the people and environment that support you in remaining unhealthy.
Change means identifying what you are doing, recognizing when you are doing it and gently guiding yourself to do something else.
Change means not making excuses for yourself, but doing exactly what you say you will do.
COMMITMENT + CHANGE = GROWTH
What behavior needs to change for your personal growth? This is about YOU... Your choice... Sit here as long as it takes for you to identify it...
“The biggest commitment you must keep is your commitment to yourself.”
-Neale Donald Walsch
What are you willing to do?
Don’t miss your opportunity. Be intentional. Encourage others to do the same and watch what happens.
You got this!
