#171 Commitment

One of the most valuable skills that we can all learn and apply daily is commitment. There’s not a person you can name who has achieved great success without living and breathing what they do.

We can learn from the average laborer who has dedicated his life to his craft as a metal worker or a mechanic. By simply “keeping on” their craft provides them a means of fulfillment and even a living.

There were so many things I wanted to do from chess, to music, to art to Kung Fu but I lacked the persistence that Jiu Jitsu gave me. Receiving my black belt from my brother was a massive eye opener to the fact that I never committed to anything before that. With my knowledge now I can see, that just like the right person, giving your all to something is an experience you will seldom regret.
