To the marathoner. It’s running another ten miles when your strength is gone.
To the soldier. It’s going over the hill not knowing what’s on the other side.
To the missionary. It’s saying good-bye to your own comfort to make life better for others.
To the leader. It’s all that and more because everyone you lead is depending on YOU.

Commitment STARTS in the heart. Some people want everything to be perfect before they’re willing to commit themselves to anything. Things always begin with commitment.
Commitment is TESTED by action. Nothing easier than saying words. Nothing harder than living by them day by day.
Commitment OPENS the door to Achievement. Commitment is the enemy of resistance, for it is the serious promise to press on, to get up, no matter how many times you are knocked down.
