A Balanced Life - Words of Wisdom - Make the commitment

QUOTE:
"You need to make a commitment, and once you make it, then life will give you some answers."
- Les Brown

INSPIRATION:
I love this quote because often in life we want to see the outcome or at least the steps necessary before we make a commitment. Sometimes in life this is not always possible. Sometimes we just need to make the commitment and believe that the steps will become visible. I always think about the scene in Indiana Jones movie where Harrison Ford is standing before a huge chasm and on the wall there is a picture of a man walking across that chasm. All Harrison sees is there is nothing in front of him, but his commitment was to find the cup of Christ and so he takes the first step only then does the path appear for him to complete his journey. Things that are important often start like that. Scary and definitely taking blind steps, but I feel the greater the reward the greater the commitment to follow through even when we are not sure of the steps involved.

ACTION:
Are you standing at the edge? This is the test of your commitment! If the commitment is important than the risk of the first step will give you the answers you seek. Remember this is a test it is only a test! Your willingness to action will give you the results you see.
