10 Commitment Quotes For When You're Feeling Flaky
Let’s face it, we all get a little flaky sometimes — whether it’s with friends, with family, or with work team members.
Sometimes you think that planning something a week in advance is the smartest thing, then your commitment phobia sets in and suddenly, all you want to do is go home, sit in bed, and be alone with Netflix. Commitment is hard. Commitment is annoying. Commiting to something or someone— especially for those with anxiety — can be stressful. But there’s a reason you made those plans or scheduled that call in the first place — because you wanted to do it, some part of you at least. Or because you had to. Either way, there’s no time to flake out now.
Being able to commit to something is also a highly prized quality. Committing to excellence. Committing to be a better person. Committing to have a better attitude. Commitment shows others that you are passionate, dedicated, and proud.
Here are 10 commitment quotes to keep you from bailing on your next responsibility.
