Fall into Commitment

You’re standing on the edge of a cliff 10,000 feet high. 

You look down and gauge the depth that you are about to fall into. Yikes!! Your heart is pumping so fast it feels like it’s going to explode out of your chest any moment. Your forehead and palms are drenched in sweat. Your mind is racing a million miles an hour. In a split second, you open your eyes and leaped off the cliff to conquer your fear. There is no going back at this point. There is no magical rewind button to take you back up to the cliff so you can walk away. You committed to the jump, so at this point all you can do is enjoy the experience.

Many of you might ask…

“Why would anyone risk their life by jumping off a cliff? You could severely break your arms, legs, back, and penis! Not to mention fall to your death!”

Let's get something straight, I'm not telling you to jump off a cliff after you read this, not at all! Jumping off a cliff that’s 10,000 feet high is extremely dangerous and is no easy task. It’s going to require full preparation both mentally and physically. Most importantly, it’s going to require full commitment; the commitment to risk it all.

So why would anyone take a leap to risk it all? 

The reward! 

The reward of overcoming any obstacle because of your full commitment to the task will be satisfying, if you ask me.

“If you’re going to work, work hard. That way you’ll have something to show for it.” – Seth Godin

I believe that saying goes for everything you do in life. It can be work directed towards your studies, relationships, hobbies, fitness, whatever it is your doing. Commit yourself 100%. Because like Seth said, you’ll have something to show for it. Whether it’s an A+, a strong and lasting relationship, a creative idea, or a six-pack, you will receive greater results by giving it your all.

"What are the chances of you failing if you’re fully committing yourself to what you are doing? Chances are very slim, so why not give it your full 100%?" My buddies would always say.

Be aware that we tend to regret the things we didn't commit ourselves to doing, than committing ourselves into doing something.
