What's Commitment!!

Commitment!!!

The most dreaded word of all....Be it for any purpose, be it relationship, work, studies, pay your dues, etc...What exactly does it mean to commit? Does it mean to make a promise? Does it mean you are obliged to someone or something? Or is it that you are responsible for your commitment you make?

What exactly does it mean? Yes, all the above mean the same, but then why is it such a scaring fact to commit?

When you take a loan from a bank, a friend or any money lender you commit to pay back the amount in a stipulated time period upon a pre-decided agreement and you struggle and try your best to pay back.

When you are studying you commit to achieve a particular grade at a particular stage and you struggle for it.

When you are at work you are paid for a particular job, and you are committed or atleast expected to be committed to your work and so you try to prove yourself and achieve your set targets.

When you have a family you are committed to every particular individual in your family.

When you fall in love and decide to get into a relationship you are said to be committed to that one person.

But wait, all the above instances of commitment are much easier and not considered to be tough to commit to. But when it comes to love, relationship and marriage why does "Commitment" become like a huge jargon and a feeling of heavy emotions flowing with tension, anxiety and so much of worry.

If you love someone, its you who decides to love that person, something clicks and you get attached to that person and the feeling of love can be felt. The only face you can see and think of every moment is that one person you love. The one without whom your life seems just so incomplete. The person whom you can rely on completely and trust blindly. The one whom you accept with all the positives, negatives, happiness and sadness, past and the present state. The one with whom you decide to spend your entire life and create a beautiful future together. Come what may, be it a bright sunny day or a storm the hand does not leave that one. The one whose pain can be felt by you completely and felt like its your own pain. The one whose tears can never be seen by you. The one who trusts you blindly and vice versa. The one whom you can never think of cheating or expect to be cheated by that one.

If all this is what Love, relationship is all about then what makes Commitment so difficult? Is it the feeling of responsibility one has to take of the other that scares, or is it the different issues to be considered like the family acceptance, the family background, financial security, past relationship baggage not forgotten, friends and some close people suggesting or advising you various things to be considered, just in case you have not considered according to them. Then one day you realize oh, I did not consider these things and just fell for that person completely. And then the Happy Realization of whether you should commit or not or if you already have committed then Hoila!!! Reconsidering the decision and the frustration begins in the so called relationship and the commitment word becomes like a suffocating factor.

Does Commitment to that one person make you feel like you bound to someone and you are handcuffed and feel like life ends there?

Can't commitment be considered just like the extended feeling of Love? If you connect with someone, you decide to be with that person and that one person means everything for you and you are respected, trusted and loved by that one person. You cannot think about even looking or liking someone or getting into any other relations other than that person. That one person is the only one you want to give your 100% love, trust, care and support to. Both are equally responsible for each other and don't live as 2 different individuals but one soul which has one dream of having a beautiful future together. Both stand strong and go against the entire world if any day the world goes against anyone. Both give each other the entire support in all times be it happy or sad.

That one person's entry in your life makes so much of a difference. It makes you feel good, makes you feel happy, makes you feel that you don't need anyone but just that one person. Both give each other the equal importance and priority.

Give that total support, love, care, respect and work towards having a beautiful relation together for the entire life and life is just so wonderful and peaceful. You both are there for each other and there is nothing that can break you and none of you can even allow anything to come in between you.

Thats commitment!!

So Love truly and don't think about Commitment as something different but its just as beautiful as the feeling of Love!

Enjoy it completely!!!

Love that One proudly and Commit to that One proudly!!
