Commitment

Its been a couple of days that i have inked something in my blog, then i was told that i am not committed in what i do. The problem with me and others like me is that we are not committed in life for anything. I was writing almost an article a day for almost a fortnight and i was said by the same crowd that i am very much committed.

Commitment is one of the most commonly used words in our daily life. This very word is so versatile that it can be used either to praise a person or to condemn the person to the core.

It made me think what commitment is all about ?
Is a person without any commitment considered to be a free man , is lack of commitment means freedom ?
Is a person without any commitment means to be in an ideal state of life ?
Does commitments bring stress and unhappiness in life ?
Is it good or bad to be committed ?
Why is that we think so much about commitment and also fear to be committed ?
And many more .........

All these questions did a lot of tug of war within me in trying to find exactly what is commitment ?

As i see commitment ignites action, the very human mind does not want to be held responsible for anything however small it may be. Never it accepts that its a fault on his side. Hence when you say that you are committed, the very statement holds you responsible for all your action, you are questioned and nobody wants to be questioned.

I feel commitment is very much divine, because if you want to be committed, then you have to have a strong belief in what you do or else there is no way. Commitment with it brings about a feeling of ownership which lacks otherwise. When you get that feeling of yours the very mind does not fool around itself or else it would take you for a ride.

Commitment goes in parallel with improvising the quality in which we deliver, because nothing can be improvised unless you have sense of ownership with you, a feel to make the process or thing easily approachable and pleasurable.

I always felt that commitment destroys freedom, but its not the case. Commitment gives freedom to stand on you own, a passion to keep you moving. But you need to understand the intricacies of the mind to know what you have to commit in order to enjoy the very act of commitment?.

Commitment, i feel, is sticking onto something, no matter what comes in the way. Deciding to do something, at any cost. It is more than a mere wish or a weak desire for something, it is something very strong and powerful.

So, the status committed means? Continuing to love someone, no matter what comes in the way :)

I liked your statement when you said Commitment does not take away the freedom but it gives the freedom to stand on what you believe in. That is an absolutely amazing statement.
