Once a man has made a commitment to a way of life, he puts the greatest strength in the world behind it. Something we call “heart power.” Once a man has made this commitment, nothing will stop him short of success.
— Vince Lombardi
The immature mind hops from one thing to another; the mature mind seeks to follow through.
— Henry Overstreet
Until you are committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, which leads to ineffectiveness. The moment you definitely commit yourself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help you that would never otherwise occur.
— William Murray
Commit yourself to a dream. Nobody who tries to do something great but fails is a total failure. He can always rest assured that he succeeded in life’s most important battle – he defeated the fear of trying.
— Robert Schuller
Form a mental picture of a time or situation in which you never gave up, a time when you faced your fears and defeated them, or think of someone whose strength inspires you. Store that image in your mind and use it as an inner source of strength when you need to fortify your commitment and determination to achieve your goals and live your dreams.
— Isiah Thomas
