Quote of the Week – Commitment

By admin

There’s a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when it’s convenient. When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses – only results. ― Ken Blanchard

In the spirit of the Olympics I think if there is a lesson to be learnt about atheletes, it’ll probably be their commitment to achieving the best. No one becomes an athlete because they want to attain mediocre status. Athletes spend most of their lives competing. Some compete against others, with others while others compete with themselves.
After watching countless post-win interviews, they talk about the years they have trained for an event  and their determination to succeed. Their bodies are a testament to the endless hours spent on conditioning and preparation, but their mindset and attitude is really what puts them in a world-class level.
Commitment is a value that I hold in high regard. I was joking the other day to a friend about how I’m commitment phobic. For most people, the association with relationships come to mind but for me I have a fear of mundane permanent life. I want things to change, I want things to grow and things to develop. I guess the biggest commitment so far is seeing through the decisions I have made in Canada thus far. Undoubtedly I always ask myself what life would be if I had stayed in Asia, but I couldn’t be happier committing to what I love and improving every day.
Stop complaining, stop making excuses for yourself and achieve those results. Make a commitment to yourself and when you’ve reached it, its the best feeling in the world. I may not ever compete in the Olympics but watching the moments of triumph always gets me emotional. They always make me cry because I believe those moments erase all the struggles it took to get there. That priceless feeling of success is what commitment can give you.
Congratulations to all Olympians of London 2012, thank you for sharing your moments with me and inspiring everyone!

    I haven’t shared much of my experience at @inner I haven’t shared much of my experience at @innercamp’s Bali retreat and what it did for me as I was entering a new decade. 

Alexis and Luisa were such amazing facilitators that walked all us through workshops that gave us tools to work on the parts of us that needed to be felt. The late night talks and camaraderie about our life path and the intersection in which we participants have found each other has been nothing short of magic. 

Cuddle parties, a yoga shala of moaning, circle of love, tunnel of love, shamanic journeys and visions of past and present will be part of my core memories forever. 

It’s hard to forget those whom you’ve cried and laughed with for an entire week. I am still in awe.

    My kindred spirits since I moved to Malaysia, thos My kindred spirits since I moved to Malaysia, those who I’ve journeyed with throughout the 15 years (on/off) I’ve spent here. The memories you guys shared and the impressions of me were spot on. I’ve felt safe to reveal myself to all of you and have learnt so much from each and everyone of you through your patience, kindness and compassion. One does not grow if one does not learn. 

Thank you for allowing me to be me all these years and giving me the opportunity to send love your way in the way I know how. ❤️❤️❤️
