On Commitment

17 Comments

An interesting  quote on relationships  I read this morning…

The relationship between commitment and doubt is by no means an antagonistic one. Commitment is healthiest when it’s not without doubt but in spite of doubt.

Rollo May

As I reflected on the above words  a few thoughts came to me…

On life and relationships

Is there an interplay of doubt and commitment?

Is there commitment when in doubt?

What happens when doubt creeps in the committed?

Whenever they intersect there are conflicts

Whether at opposition or not

Both are in thoughts

Dashing from one extreme to another

At times contradicting at times rationalising

And returning back to apparent normalcy

When doubt dances in, commitment feels the burn

When commitment is strong, doubt rests on the back burner.

Have always felt there needs to be trust in a relationship as much as compromise else even the strongest of relationships fall apart.

What are your thoughts ? Do share.

    SMiLes Dear Savvy Sadly
    Increasingly in Our Modern Ways
    of Life the Money We Make The Things
    We Buy and Even

    What We Do in Life

    Is Valued More Than
    Putting People And
    The Rest of Nature We
    Depend on to Breathe Every

    Day in Life First

    So While Folks May Be
    Competent and Trustworthy
    In Areas To Increase Material
    Status and Power What May

    Fall Behind is the Human
    Element Indeed Yet on

    The Other Hand it May
    Be More Difficult to Find
    Folks Competent And Trust
    Worthy in Many of Our Interactions
    In Relationships of Life As They Are

    Simply too
    Distracted
    With Small
    Attention Spans
    to Put Anything Else
    on the Modern Plate
    of Life That Is very

    Complex in Doing
    What Folks Believe
    They have to Do in Life

    Yet CuLTuRES We are born
    into in Life Become The Fabric
    of Our Being Where Humanity May

    Come
    First in
    Value or
    Closer to Last Place

    All That’s Left to Do i
    Suppose is Patience
    Continuing to Lift Others Up..:)
