Yesterday our 9th graders got real with the concept of commitment. Commitment is internal dialogue that leads to external results. If a person can control and empower him/herself internally, external commitments can be guaranteed.
So, how committed are you? What thoughts reach you internally? Do you say, "This sucks," "I can't," "This is impossible"? Or do you say "I am learning and growing," "I can," "This is possible"? Better yet, do you change your "I can" statements to "I will"?
Would you have held your arm up for an hour and a half -- through hallways of teenagers and a whole other class? Some of these kids did.
Commitment is a habit that is cultivated. Make your internal dialogue empower you. It's time to stop quitting and start succeeding.
