Commitment; Risk and Reward


Commitment means to "Bind Together for Strength".

COMMITMENT....
is what transforms a promise into reality.
It is the words that speak boldly of your intentions
and the actions which speak louder than the words.
It is making the time when there is none.
Coming through time after time after time.
Year after year after year.


Commitment is the stuff character is made of;
the power to change the face of things.


FROM INVOLVEMENT TO COMMITMENT:
THE RISK AND THE REWARD

THE RISK
Committing to take risks to help build your team will also enhance your personal growth. But risks must be taken, because the greatest risk in life is to risk nothing. People who risk nothing, do nothing, have nothing, are nothing, become nothing. They may, for a while, avoid suffering and sorrow - maybe- but they simply cannot learn and feel and change, in order to grow and get all there is to be gotten from a sport or any phase of life.

THE REWARD
Personal Satisfaction
The reward is to become part of a dynamic, continuously improving team where you, as a player, are accepted, challenged, recognized, respected, and appreciated. You belong to a team where you are the difference. It is the glue that allows new seniors to take on important leadership roles and all others to ask, "What can I do for this team?"

- COMMITMENT -
- Will cost you.

- Counts the most in the toughest of times.

- You will know -- if you're really committed -- on decisions you make while all alone.
- The rewards for total commitment do not come instantaneously, but the rewards come after a lot of sacrifice, effort, disappoint, and heartache. However, the real rewards for total commitment will last a lifetime.

So that is what the attorney meant when he said I should be committed! That doesn't sound bad at all.
