“Commitments present themselves in delineations of black and white. You either honor your commitments or you don't. Success is the result of making and keeping commitments to your self and others, while all failed or unfinished goals, projects and relationships are the direct result of broken commitments.

“...visions are messages from the Great Spirit, each for a different purpose in life. Consequently, one person's vision may not be that of another. To have a vision, one must be prepared to receive it, and when it comes, to accept it. Thus when these inner urges become reality, only then can visions be fulfilled. The spiritual side of life knows everyone's heart and who to trust. How could a vision ever be given to someone to harbor if that person could not be trusted to carry it out. The message is simple: commitment precedes vision.” IfsKnowsHeartMayPersonsDifferentRealitySpiritualSpiritPurposeSpiritualityGivenSidesSimpleAcceptingVisionMessagesCommitmentPreparedUrgesPurpose Of LifeTrustedFulfilledBe PreparedHarborsGreat SpiritWho To Trust Author:Tim McCoy
