Not many people like to commit, a commitment means that two people need to exchange something, but one or both can not easily reach an agreement, whether it is to negotiate something related to work or who will wash the dishes at home, we look for things to work in our favor.
When we use that word, we use it to describe something in which we lost more than we won, but to reach a compromise doesn´t mean losing, if we make a commitment together, that means we should get something from the deal, of course, don´t change your ethics for a commitment, you can lose money in a deal, and you can regret for a moment, but if you ignore your ethics, you will recriminate yourself all your life, you have to know how to draw a line. and assert your fundamental values.
In a commitment, you must understand the motivation of the other party, sometimes, just by listening you can convert a commitment into a "win-win", where nobody has to give up anything, people want to be heard and understood, so listen to the other party giving him the opportunity to speak, use the language "we" instead of "you against me" to encourage unity, people are much more willing.
Don´t make a commitment because there is something you want, it is very wrong, not all commitments give each party equal things, the commitment usually means that one party benefits more than the other, sometimes you do it in exchange for a benefit in the long term, it is a risk, but the long-term benefits are worth it and if you do not see many long-term benefits then reject it, these situations will make you a stronger person, make the right decision, even if it causes you some pain in the short term term.
