Are you committed to someone, or something? We can say that we all are committed in different ways. We are committed to someone through marriage, a business partner, a boyfriend/girlfriend, to a friend, to our family, and to our jobs. It is like a daily routine because it takes our time, the agreement we made, and the responsibility that we have for all these commitments.
We commit not unless we are sure to give it all.
Marriage: before I got married I wasn't sure if I can commit myself freely, because there's no turning back. I need to think and imagine possibilities if I will commit myself to marriage. But the commitment in marriage will last if both couples agree and stand for each other. That is why we pledge " in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, till death do us part." In this part, it's a promise to both husband and wife no matter what journey they take.
Why do we need to commit?
We commit ourselves to someone or something because we need to prove to them that we are responsible for our promise, the trust, and respect that others see in us. Being committed to someone or something mostly lead us to a better life. In commitment we can have also a choice it's either to fulfill your promise or not but the dignity as a person affects all that we already have. For some reason, our commitment to others is exaggerated it overwhelmed us for the opportunity in front of us even we knew that it is too much responsibility that is already hard to handle. We become greedy and overconfident.
To commit or not to commit?
For some commitment is hard for them, it's maybe a traumatic experience, like relationship anxiety, phobia to commit, and fear of commitment to others. They may think that in the long run, they can not fulfill the promise that they have made, afraid to move forward and try new things that are good in the relationships. For them the commitment they focused on is just for the short term because they are afraid for greater responsibilities in other words they can offer half of their life for it, not to the end.
Commitment is how we look at it, is it worth the risk, can it makes us feel wanted and trusted. All of us are good at committing either to someone or something, the point is when we commit let's not hang somebody's expectations, we can't commit if there's no one there to give our promise.
Thanks for reading and have a wonderful evening to all 馃槝
