As indicated in my last blog , I wrote to all of you that over the weekend, I would run and bike. I did.
Saturday I ran 8.25k and on Sunday, I rode my bike . During the week, I walked, biked and ran.
For my bike and run this week, I did the same route and distance – close to 10k.
It is all about commitment to the goal I have set and not just contribution. I apply this principle to very aspect of my life – Living life with purpose and happiness. When we follow thru a goal, our mind and soul becomes stronger.
The difference between contribution vs commitment
One day a chicken and pig were walking down a road and saw a sign in a diner window that advertised a breakfast special: “Bacon and Eggs, $2.99.” “Wow,” said the chicken, “they’re advertising my eggs. That makes me feel proud.” The pig wasn’t excited. “Feel the way you want,” he said. “Your part is only a contribution. Mine is a commitment.”
David McGhee, Vice President, Organizational Excellence & Impact at The Skillman Foundation, once said “As you live and lead your best life, are you committed to your work, and those who depend on you, or are you simply making a contribution? Most want to only make a contribution because the cost of commitment is much greater. But guess what! The benefits are greater as well.
When we fully commit ourselves to our God-given purpose, then, and only then, can we truly change the world – and the world of those around us.”
