The Importance of Re-Commitment

Re-commitment. It’s powerful and crucial. Sometimes it is needed daily… or weekly, or monthly. Sometimes we have to slow it down so much that it’s re-committing moment to moment. It could be re-commitment to our spouse or significant other, to family, to friends or to purpose. It could be to our career or job, or re-committing in light of changes. It can be re-adjusting our sails in light of rough waters, or re-evaluating after substantial shifting of our circumstances – fair or unfair. It can be re-committing to process or regimen or lifestyle choices or religion or diet. Re-commitment reaffirms our priorities in spite of what’s past or where we made a misstep. It can be done in spite of our initial feelings on the matter. It’s done because it’s what we choose to do, what we have to do, or what we want to do. Re-commitment signals that in this moment, we are committing to a course of action and throwing our energy into seeing through this initiative with a leap of faith the momentum will carry us forward. Re-committing requires strength and courage. Re-committing is sometimes all we have.
