The greatest sign of commitment is discipline! ================================== While many are aspiring to be Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers, developing a closer walk with God, being married, having children, job promotions and whatever else; the ingredient call discipline is usually depleted from their equation in achieving their desires. To be discipline suggests that you have thoroughly considered the principles, rules and regulation of whatever it is that youre getting yourself into and at the same time decided that you would subject yourself to the rules, regulations and principles that accompany and govern them in an effort, to achieve your intended desires..... This my friend now becomes the personification of commitment! So based on the above understanding lets take note of the following scenario. Are you involved with someone that speaks of how committed they are, however youve observe a major lack of discipline in their life? Well my friend this is called putting the carriage before the horse, meaning, a horse pulls a carriage but it is impossible for a carriage to pull a horse. Therefore commitment will always be the end result of the consistent acts of discipline! Discipline folks are not surface people, meaning their calculations of any situation is based on its surface and depth. It will be as a result of this overall assessment that they will then determine if they are capable of disciplining themselves to produce commitment to whatever it is theyre planning on attaching or bind themselves to. uncommitted folks are just the opposite, they are always ready to leap before they look and consider after they would have act! Fortunately, you dont have to possess a spirit of discernment or be a prophet to recognize an uncommitted person. uncommitted folks are far more talkers than doers, unstable, always with an excuse, rarely able to fulfil promises, classic disappointers, always with big dreams and big ideas but its usually followed with little to no action. The bottom line is this my friend, if you want to be true to yourself and really determine if the carriage has been placed in front of the horse in your case with Mr or Ms. Committed, then stop listening to their promises and talk of commitment and now focus on their acts of discipline!
