You Gotta Commit

Inspired by this post by Ash Ambirge – and by climbing, which has taught me that you truly have to commit if you want to make the move.

So here is what I am committed to.

I am committed to pursuing this life.

I am committed to being terrified and trying anyway.

I am committed to believing in myself and my crazy dreams.

I am committed to letting go of everything I don’t need.

I am committed to packing up just what I do need and going where I am called to go.

I am committed to nights on couches, in backseats, and in tents.

I am committed to living with less while living for more.

I am committed to falling and failing.

I am committed to bumps and bruises.

I am committed to asking for help – and accepting it when it’s offered.

I am committed to giving all that I can to help others.

I am committed to creating community.

I am committed to speaking up and using my voice.

I am committed to being misunderstood but sharing my stories anyway.

I am committed to rejection.

I am committed to my own confidence and inner strength.

I am committed to not selling myself short or playing it safe.

I am committed to cold showers, no showers, and reveling in the dirt.

I am committed to surprising myself.

I am committed to not knowing but still going.

I am committed to moving forward and to growing.

I am committed to reaching out and reaching up.

I am committed to not giving up.

I am committed to taking the leap.

I am committed to creating and contributing.

I am committed to dirt, sweat, tears, and blood.

I am committed to breaking down and putting myself back together.

I am committed to following my intuition and standing in my truth.

I am committed to saying no.

I am committed to saying yes.

I am committed to being tired, hungry, sad, and scared and still being content.

I am committed to living a life that is mine.
