Commitment is a part of your motivation personality.  
While motivation, in general, is more associated with the emotional tendencies that guide and facilitate the reaching of goals, commitment relates to aligning with your goals or those of a group or organization.

People who have this skill usually:

  • Readily make sacrifices to meet a larger organizational goal; they work for something bigger than themselves.
  • Find a sense of purpose in the larger mission; a trait related to leadership.
  • Use the group's core values to make decisions and clarifying choices.
  • Actively seek out opportunities to fulfill the group's mission

Commitment is emotional, it's a choice; a feeling of attachment to a purpose, to others, to a group or an organization.

Of course, financial benefits do create a level of commitment from an employee to a company; however, in general, people are even more committed to an organization if such organization has a positive culture and an inspiring, well-formulated mission, with clearly stated goals.

We humans need to feel "connected" to a higher purpose in order to be deeply committed. Likewise, in order to connect back to its people, an organization has to make sure that their efforts and decisions are taken into consideration, and rewarded when such decisions create company growth.

 

We need to become the kind of leaders and team players that inspire and engage in that kind of commitment.

  • Are most of the time in good spirit, friendly and in a good mood
  • See people and circumstances in a positive light
  • Persist in seeking goals despite difficulties, obstacles, and setbacks.
  • Operate from hope of success rather than fear of failure
  • See setbacks as part of a learning process, where failures are always correctable

People with optimism get their strength from hope, hope is what moves people who have a positive mind.and attitude. hopefulness is crucial when anyone undertakes a tough task or faces a tough moment.  In general, great achievers are those with the highest optimism about life and the future.

Change your Mindset, Change your Life

Whatever you think continuously will define what you experience in life.
Buddha said it best: “All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become.”

It only takes some looking around to realize it is true; we create our own reality with our thoughts and our emotions –thoughts providing direction, our emotions supplying the boost to get there faster or slower.

You may argue that there are certain events that are completely out of our control, that we haven’t created them at all, and it might be so. But I believe it is our attitude towards those events what counts.

Some time ago I learned a formula from Dr. Robert Resnick which describes this attitude issue in a very simple way: 

Event + Response = Outcome 

Whatever Event we might be experiencing in life, it is, in the end, our Response what makes the Outcome what it is…
It is our attitude towards the problem and not the problem itself.
Our mindset and our emotional state can make the difference because they are both under our control.

Our human culture has the habit of negativity, and we even take pride in it sometimes, calling ourselves realistic, down-to-earth people; but we need to realize that expecting the worst as a general rule will only set things in motion for us to receive exactly that; the worst.

We are creators; we create with our minds and with our hearts; and whatever we expect, we’re eventually going to receive.
If we’d chose to expect –to build in our minds and in our hearts - the image of the best possible outcome, we’d also set things in motion to create it.
It takes some time getting used to the idea that we can actually make our own reality, but if we ever want to do it willingly, we need to remove our focus from the Event and place it on our Responses; make the best out of it, embed it with positive thoughts and emotions, and watch the Outcome getting better and better every time.

Do you want to know what kind of world are you creating for you now?
Pay attention to how you’re feeling in this very moment.
The quality of your creation will match the quality of your current emotions.

If you are feeling great now, then you are creating a world that will make you feel that way or even better.   

 

Give it a try, and see it for yourself
