How committed am I going to be today?

Newport Beach 2013

Commitment is a big part of who I am and what I believe. How committed are you to winning? How committed are you to being a good friend? How committed are you to being a good father, mother, brother or sister, a good teammate, a good coworker, a good role model? There's that moment every morning when you look in the mirror and say, 'How committed am I going to be today?'.

Early this morning, I committed to be a friend that listened and was there for my Boo Lauren. Her mom passed away in the night. She was devastated and heartbroken. Her mom was her world, besides her boyfriend, her boys, her daughter in laws and her precious grand babies. In her busy schedule, she always found time for her mom and always put her first before her own needs. I truly admire her for this, because I know so many people that don't care until it's too late. Having lost both my parents and my adopted mom, I know what it's like to have been there for them when they were healthy and sick. I had committed to being there for them no matter what, just as Lauren had been for her mom. As my day progressed, after much needed sleep, my Kimmie and Annie, who were just heartbroken after they had read the message I had sent to them about our Boo's mom, talked, listened and loved one another as we discussed how to support Lauren in her time of need. I don't know, but it seems like some people just have a special gene in them that says, 'I love you, I'm there for you, and I'm hurting for you!'. Commitment is easy for them. Sometimes, I wish that others would tune into this commitment concept, because they really don't know what blessings they're losing out on in life. I'm glad that I have wonderful friends that I get to commit to on a daily basis!!

So, what are you going to commit to in your life? There are so many blessings out there just waiting to be bestowed upon you! Go find them and commit!
