Commitment Quotes

“When there is transparency, your employees are aware of how their work is contributing to the project which makes them become more committed to the project.”
― Pooja Agnihotri, 17 Reasons Why Businesses Fail :Unscrew Yourself From Business Failure

“Killing yourself is a major commitment, it takes a kind of courage. Most people just lead lives of cowardly desperation. It’s kinda half suicide where you just dull yourself with substances.”
― Robert Crumb

“So, will you LEAP?!!! Once you have leapt, there’s no way back. It’s a one-time leap. It will define the rest of your life. You must absolutely commit. There can be no half-measures and no half-heartedness. It’s all or nothing. Kierkegaard certainly got that right. The leap must be a transformative event, alchemical, transmutative. Remember Neo in The Matrix. He had to master the “Jump Program” and leap from one skyscraper to another across an impossibly wide gap. If you’re going to make that leap, if you’re going to succeed, you must be SURE. Doubt is fatal. If you choke, you die. When invading armies landed on foreign soil, they often burned their fleet so that there could be no retreat. It was win or perish. That’s how it must be. To leap or not to leap – that is the question. What leap shall it be? – faith, the senses or reason. Choose!”
― Mike Hockney, The God Equation

“Looking from a distance, we find something attractive and excitedly commit to it. When we come near, we find it unbearable. Then we have to continue with it because we have already committed to it.

Everything in Maya (Time-Space) is like that. You current status in life is something your younger self would find very attractive. It looked exciting from the distance of Time. Now it’s not.”
― Shunya

“There’s no point in waiting for Godot. He never arrives. That’s the whole point. In Dante’s Limbo, the Ignavi are always waiting. Their crime in life was that they preferred to wait until everything was decided rather than commit themselves to a cause when its prospects were uncertain, and now they are condemned to wait forever in the vestibule of hell. Anyone can jump on a bandwagon. The heroes are those who got involved long before the bandwagon arrived. You have to find a cause and commit yourself fully. That’s the first step in giving meaning to your life”
― Adam Weishaupt, Inside-Dopesters and Conspiracy Theories

“Pain and Greed are the drivers of hard work. Which is your calling?”
― Vineet Raj Kapoor

“Life is filled with challenges and interruptions. We live in a world that is full of excuses and personal responsibility is in short supply. The projector has for a while now replaced the tried and true mirror for being true to ourselves as we serve the business community. Refuse to let your limits from others be your legacy for yourself. Do not let others dictate how much you are going to make or how successful you are becoming. They don’t own you nor have they made the commitment to provide for you.”
― Chris J. Gregas

“It's rare for someone to make the kind of commitment you made, and I think your willingness to take on the challenge may make you different.”
― Joshua Foer, Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything

“People who haven’t found their sacred cause just drift from one thing to another. They may be consumed by a sudden passion and enthusiasm for something, believing they have at last found their sacred cause, but the feeling doesn’t last, and soon they move on to the next thing. Some people of this kind simply never find their sacred cause and end up as the ultimate cynics, skeptics, nihilists and atheists. They are totally embittered and negative, and frequently heavy users of alcohol and drugs to numb their pain.

Nothing is more important than finding your sacred cause. You are lost without it. When you have assumed a sacred cause, you at last feel aligned with your soul itself. You feel real, valid, authentic, true and right, no longer fake, phoney, fraudulent, false and wrong.”
― Mike Hockney, Black Holes Are Souls

“The ceremony was elegant and yet surprisingly intimate. The pastor read from Second Corinthians, and then Megan and Daniel recited vows they'd written together. They promised patience when it was easy to be impatient, candor when it was easier to lie, and in their own ways, each recognized the fact that real commitment could be proven only through the passage of time.”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Last Song

“Don’t be one of the dreary souls. Don’t be one of the lukewarm. Don’t be neutral. Don’t be non-committal. Plunge in, all the way. Don’t live like the Ignavi, without blame or without praise. Do something. Make a mark. Don’t join the cowardly choir. Don’t let heaven and hell alike shut their door in your face because you are fit for neither. How pathetic must you be if even the depths of hell disdain to receive you?”
― Thomas Stark, Base Reality: Ultimate Existence

“Serving a cause means immersing yourself in it. It’s what you have chosen to devote yourself to. It’s not a hobby, a distraction, an amusement, a diversion, a way of passing your time. It’s your actual identity ... the one you have consciously and deliberately chosen for yourself, in exclusion of all others. It hasn’t been chosen by your parents for you, or by your friends for you, or by your community for you. You, no one else, has made the commitment. It’s your choice, your decision. It reflects your worldview, your chosen idea of how to lead your life. Your sacred cause is the meaning of your life, so you had better get it right.”
― Brother Spartacus, The Citizen Army

“Laziness and average are not the pedigree of an overcoming business specialist. You will be counting pennies for a long time as long as you are interested in BIG before you put great effort into SMALL, but MEANINGFUL steps. Make it your aim today to be a “champion” in the making. You are not going to be hoisted up on the podium this afternoon, but inch by inch, small but meaningful decision multiplied will get you to where you want to be and beyond. Don’t you dare despise small beginnings.”
― Chris J. Gregas

“Are you capable of being part of a small group that can change the world? Most people could never rise to the challenge. They are the Ignavi – those who will follow any banner placed in front of them – and the Last Men – those who survive by placing petty self-interest above all other things and know how to ensure they will be the last men standing. Their names will never be remembered. You don’t have to be a member of the Illuminati to make a difference. The changing of the world belongs to everyone. Leaders are self-defining, self-creating, self-starting. They take an idea and they run with it. They inspire others. They don’t need anyone else’s approval, assistance or permission. Above all, they lead. Can you?”
― Adam Weishaupt, The Illuminati

“Commitment is making an agreement with yourself in private and then keeping it in public.”
― Shara Hutchinson

“It’s bad enough when others break their promises; breaking a promise to ourselves is just downright debilitating.”
― Carlos Wallace, The Other 99 T.Y.M.E.S: Train Your Mind to Enjoy Serenity

“If you don’t have the highest ambitions, you will never achieve anything great. If you’re “realistic” rather than “idealistic”, you will inevitably accept failure because failure is always the realistic outcome of any undertaking. Samuel Beckett said, “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.” That’s idealistic, not realistic. The realist would just give up. Illuminism is about aiming for the highest heights. If you prefer the plains, the lows, the average, the ordinary, the banal, the bland, the uncommitted, the neutral, the self-interested, the “realistic”, Illuminism is not for you.”
― Mike Hockney, Richard Dawkins: The Pope of Unreason

“But she would not break her discipline to comfort herself in a shallow way. Would no more break discipline with her Self than she would her covenant with God.”
― Toni Cade Bambara, The Salt Eaters

“Yes, and still shall I persevere, with no less enthusiasm, knowing that my conviction shall at least be clear.”
― Michael Kanaan

“... love is marked by the sharing of aid, comfort, and acceptance. It involves strong positive feelings, commitment, and even sacrifice.”
― Christopher Peterson, Character Strengths and Virtues: A Handbook and Classification

“It is not our work that we sell. The payment is for our continued commitment.

It is our commitment not our work that sells.”
― Vineet Raj Kapoor

“The only thing I'm committed to right now is bettering myself.”
― Nitesh Nishad

“I asked him why he’s so scared to commit and he said he’s not scared to commit, he’s just not in the mood to commit to me because he’s committed to himself, and I knew in that instant I wanted him more than I’ve ever wanted anything. I wanted to be with him, but I also wanted to be him, replace myself with him and find a girl like me who look at me like I looked at him when he said that.”
― Charlotte Eriksson, He loved me some days. I'm sure he did: 99 essays on growth through loss

“Commitment is a function of capabilities and intentions. 
Commitment =ƒ(Capabilities X Intentions)”
― Sukant Ratnakar, Quantraz

“When a guy really loves a woman, she doesn't have to plead with him to commit. He'd commit to her if she lived on the moon....You don't need to beg for anyone's attention. Make him work to win your heart instead of simply handing it to him.”
― Jason Evert, How to Find Your Soulmate Without Losing Your Soul

“We find the fullness of life not only in options but in commitments.”
― George W. Bush, U.S. Presidential Inaugural Addresses

“You, my fellow Americans, have forced the spring. Now, we must do the work the season demands.”
― Bill Clinton, U.S. Presidential Inaugural Addresses

“Loving others requires a commitments. Its no wonder people find hating others is easier than loving them.”
― Ibn Jeem

“We have become at once the dagger and the wound. Wounds never heal so long as they continue to cooperate with daggers. In a sense, the cure is in the disease itself. Our silence is the disease. Our serious commitment for change and for exposing power abuses and bullies is the cure.”
― Louis Yako
