Becky Berry and Diana Bader discuss the pitfalls and positives of commitments.
- You can’t make progress without commitment.
- Commitment creates parameters that can increase productivity
- FOMO (fear of missing out) is an epidemic in this country and it’s creating commitment phobia.
- Committing to too many things makes it impossible to be committed to anything.
- Over scheduling teaches children they are worthless unless they are always busy.
- The things kids want to commit to don’t have to be the same things as their parents. This is how they explore.
- Set a timeframe to stick to your commitments. If you’re in an experience that isn’t working out for you, make sure you’ve spent enough time doing it to give it a chance.
- Interest vs Commitment: Interest is thought. Commitment is action.
- Your integrity is built on how you handle your commitments.
- When you let commitments slide, your integrity is tarnished and so is your self-esteem.
