Tim Arrigo argues that real commitment means following through after the emotional high fades, not acting on feelings. He says living by external emotions leads to self-sabotage, and that you have to sacrifice for your own goals or your goals become the sacrifice.
Commitment is doing what I said I would do long after the emotion that I made the commitment in is gone. See, it's not a commitment if it's based on emotional convenience. If it's based on how I feel, it's like, well, if I feel okay about it, then I'll do it. If I feel like it, then I'll. In reality, that's just you living from the outside in again. And no more self-sabotage. I stop getting in my own way. I work hard for myself. Why? So I can serve others. If you don't make sacrifices for what you want, then what what you want will become the sacrifice. Put yourself first and your kids second, don't be surprised when they do the same to you later. You got to think about what you're sacrificing.
