COMMITMENT is the way anything is accomplished. Very few things of worth are accomplished without COMMITMENT! COMMITMENT is spoken, COMMITMENT is a promise, COMMITMENT is action.

\\n

COMMITMENT in self-defense is to yourself and others. The \\u201cself\\u201d in self-defense is where it all starts. We cannot protect others without a COMMITMENT to self. Flight attendants will tell you first put the oxygen mask on and then assist your children. We cannot save another drowning without COMMITMENT to learning to swim ourselves first.

\\n

COMMITMENT is sometimes hedged with, \\u201cI\\u2019ll try...\\u201d Just "try and do anything..." You cannot. Yoda said, \\u201cDo. Or do not. There is no try.\\u201d Yoda totally hijacked this Zen concept., however, it make it no less true. 

\\n

COMMITMENT in self defense is how complete motion occurs, it is COMMITMENT that first responders have that has them run into a burning building to save a life at their own jeopardy because they have COMMITTED to something other than themselves even if that COMMITMENT belongs to a total stranger.

\\n

In modern society COMMITMENT by definition may be failing. Marriages are down, and divorce is a 50% venture, families are broken because of what...? A lack of COMMITMENT! The very nature of society is COMMITMENT. When I think of breaking bricks and all the trys never broke anything. The bricks only break with COMMITMENT!
