The “Commitment to Life” that follows was a wonderful gift shared with me by a very dear friend some years ago. The thoughts included in this are very much in keeping with the work that I do with personal development and helping others to develop a life of meaning and purpose.
The closer we come to the Final Redemption; we seem to be plagued with all manner of tests and struggles, much of which is confusing and even overwhelming to many. However, each and every one of us has been blessed with our own unique set and combination of interests, skills, talents, desires and goals. The “Commitment to Life” is offered for you below, to give you some strength, commitment and something concrete to help you to keep striving to be the best that you can be.
An important note:
The language in the “Commitment to Life” is in order to help you to take this commitment seriously. However, please state that you hereby accept upon yourself to commit without making a vow to strive to achieve the value of life as outlined below. It is very important to add in this statement prior to reading the commitment further so that you do not transgress the prohibition of making a vow that is later hard to keep.
In addition to the above statement, you can add a Tefillah to G-d in your own words, asking for His assistance in your path towards a life of meaning and purpose.
Today is a glorious day because today I am making a commitment. I am committing myself to a life of success, health, happiness, achievement and fulfilment. Now that I have decided to make this commitment I will never turn back until my purpose in life is discovered and fulfilled, because deep within my heart and soul I know that my life has a purpose, a destiny, a meaning. I am willing to devote the time and attention necessary to discover and fulfil all my life’s goals. I am willing to be open to the advice, experience and support of others but will never be dissuaded by discouraging words. I will be patient with myself and with my progress; yet at the same time I will never let a day go by without taking at least one step toward achieving my goals. I will never waste a single precious moment of life condemning or criticizing others, for in doing so I am harming myself; and if I am slandered against I will consider it a blessed opportunity of being given a chance to forgive. I will always count my blessings rather than complain of my circumstances, for I possess even now every blessing necessary to achieve great things in life. If circumstances should arise that hinder my progress and obscure my goals in darkness I will always go the extra mile, for I will know the darkness is nothing more than the herald of the dawn. If I should stumble on the way I will know that it is not a sin to fall down; only a sin to lie there. Now as I sign my name below, let it be a visible symbol of my commitment to the achievement of great meaningful things and to the knowledge that with G-d’s help I will accomplish my desired goals. For I know that I am a loving, worthy, divine and deserving person committed to fulfilling my purpose and doing G-d’s will in this world.
