"Commitment to yourself will create all you need to learn and grow.

Actively involve yourself in your world, be a participant rather than a spectator.
Life is for living, loving and experiencing - take the plunge.

Once you make any commitment, follow it through with the integrity you deserve."

Anon

That's a very profound little quote Sprintcyclist and what happy human beings we would be if we could apply those words of wisdom to ourselves wholeheartedly.

It's so much easier to look on, rather than get involved. Involvement demands commitment and commitment demands giving too much of yourself and that's not always convenient.


Quote:

Once you make any committment, follow it through with the integrity you deserve."

The highlighted phrase is a little difficult to understand though. If we make a rash commitment, then a little later regret our commitment believing it would take too much from us, wouldn't our integrity to follow through on this commitment be a punishment rather than a reward?

mantra - I guess so, yes.
I tend to see more things that will happen than things that won't.

Sure, some goals may be overly optimistic. But most will be reasonable.
Even if not achieved, any goal enables one to go further than had no goal been set.


Quote:

.......the integrity you deserve.....

- puts the level of commitment to your own self-worth.

How well do you think you deserve of yourself ?
What is your integrity ?
Will you make an honest effort, or get puffed and give up at the first hurdle ?

Very, very true, SC. Spiritual progress is not about which god you pray to or what you believe, but practice in the world.

This is what I find hardest about improving myself: practice.

It seems the older we get, the harder it is to make an effort to improve ourselves. We get set in our ways and think that because we've made it this far that we're doing OK, but we're kidding ourselves.

Sometimes it's easier to rely on our old habits and values and hope for the best.

I think Sprintcyclist has made an important point in this topic though -  the more we mature, the more we have to lift our game and commit ourselves to something different and challenging on a regular basis to keep our minds and bodies as healthy as possible.

Well said and food for thought.

UFO Wars with Ed Grimsley & Micah Skye Part 1

Yes even i agreed commitment is the thing in which we have to activelly involve in it!! We must understand the difference between interest and commitment. When we are interested in doing something, we do it only when circumstance permit. But When we are committed to something, we accept no excuses, only results!!

and even after all this time

the sun has never said unto the earth..

"you owe me"..it is so

and so it is so be it

blessings unto you

Commitment, commitment, I hear...
The one thing BOTH god and girl adore

But rarely a man - poor thingemy.

Yet says both male and female ARE unnatural, without opposite seasons to temper them.

Hilarion's Weekly Message, September 25-October 1, 2011

Beloved Lightworkers,

This is a time to nurture yourselves and to listen to the inner messages that your physical body is giving to you now. With the infusion of intensely high energies in the past few days, many of you are finding yourselves sleeping more hours than before. This is your body’s way of integrating the energies and allowing the transformation to occur within. Each of you is becoming a template of the New Human operating system and as such, you have been at the forefront of this process.

Moving your body during these times and stretching your muscles, tendons and ligaments and doing deep breathing helps to keep the energies moving through you in a balanced way. Following good dietary habits and drinking large quantities of pure water is essential during these times. Many of you get so engrossed in your daily activities that you forget to give your body the hydration and exercise that it needs in order to go through the changes that are occurring with greater ease and grace. By remembering to do these simple steps, you will alleviate much distress.

It is of the utmost importance to keep your thoughts in equilibrium as these times with the increased energies will manifest with greater rapidity that which you dwell upon. If you find yourselves in the process of releasing negative emotions from deep within yourselves, it is essential that you quickly fill what has just left your system with several positive and powerful decrees, affirmations or intentions. Remembering that you are connected to the Divine will help to continue to keep you on track.

The Earth also continues to stretch and move her tectonic plates and surface changes will continue to take place. All is in a state of constant shift, change and movement. There is no longer any such thing as staying still except as you go within yourselves and this stillness within as a daily practice is an extremely important gift to give yourselves as the days continue through the rest of this year and into the next, for staying centered within your own core essence is profoundly vital.

You will start to notice positive changes taking place within your body transformations, as a greater feeling of lightness will now become the norm and a greater sense of well being will begin to replace the feelings of tenseness and anxiousness that has been prevalent amongst you as the increased frequencies hit the Earth’s atmosphere. These feelings will now begin to ease and as the energies of human consciousness are further uplifted, many positive signs of peaceful metamorphosis will become more and more evident.

These are exciting and challenging times for all upon the Earth and much good is being accomplished, however, these are not broadcast through your mainstream media and so the masses of Humanity are not generally made aware of these. Many of you are now remembering your Divine roots and the gifts that you bring and are taking your places upon the Earth to be of greater service in the coming days. Unified efforts bring forth powerful results. We continue to support each of you through the changes and applaud your continued efforts to anchor more Light to the Earth.

Until next week….

I AM Hilarion
