Commitment

Most things worth something in life form around making a commitment and working at it every day. Think about it. Marriages, friendships, family, career, all involve commitment. Why is it then that so many people struggle with making a commitment for themselves? Our lives are so busy fulfilling commitments that center around other people and we don't think twice about how this affects our own self.

Being healthy is a commitment that not only projects you forward, but also has an indirect effect on those around you. By taking care of yourself, you are able to be there more for your marriages, friendships, family, and career. So why then do we focus on other commitments and not consider ourselves worthy enough to, well, commit to ourselves?

If you are of this mindset, it is time to start committing to your own health and well being. Eating clean daily and being physical every day will instill a sense of well being in you as well as those around you. People look at us more than we are cognizant of. If we are going down a path of poor eating and lack of exercise, it is easy for those around us to jump on board. However, if we commit our lives to a healthy lifestyle, others will take notice when they see the change in you. They will jump on board. Sometimes it happens right away but sometimes it takes years. That is okay. As long as we continue to keep our focus, people will come around.

Stay committed to yourself and those around you will commit to you.

Make it a great day!
