Commiting to a commitment

The Daily Bitch is having a hard day today. Well, not really, but enough of one to get him thinking seriously about "commitment". Every so often, one experiences something that makes them think carefully about things, and the events of today have led me to commitment.

Yes dear readers, I am committed to the Daily Bitch and you will be seeing a lot more of me here.

The commitment I am thinking about is "others" commitment to things, whether it be personal or professional.

A commitment is not a fleeting fancy, a fad, an optional experience. It is a long term obligation from one person to follow through on what they promise.

A commitment cannot be taken lightly, but seriously. Once you commit to something, man up and do it.

If you can't fulfil, don't run away, but own up and say "hey, I can't do this on time", or better yet, be humble (and earn some respect along the way) by saying, "hey, could I please have a little help".

A commitment is a promise.

Your credibility as an individual, regardless of the situation, is based upon your ability to uphold your commitments.

It is ok to fail, but it is never ok not to try.

Respect comes through trying, not only succeeding, but respect is always lost when someone reneges on a commitment without making an effort.
