Having to Stand Alone:
When you want to accomplish something, people will try to distract you. They will challenge you. They may even try to get you to compromise your values. It may be unintentional. It may be because they are worried that if you grow, they will feel left behind. In those moments, you need to ask yourself, "Who am I trying to please?" If you desire to please yourself by following through on your commitments to yourself, there will be times you need to stand alone.
Experiencing Failure:
Perhaps the greatest challenge to commitment is failure. "Achieving that goal is a good feeling, but to get there you have to also get through the failures. You have got to be able to pick yourself up and continue"
Facing Deep Disappointment:
Lets be honest, a lot of things can go wrong in life. How are you going to react in the face of those disappointments?
When things go wrong, when life gets rough, when the pain becomes great, will you be able to keep going? If you determine to make and keep proper commitments daily, you greatly improve your chance of being able to carry on. As Abraham Lincoln said, "Always bear in mind that your own resolution to success is more important than any other thing."
