If you think about the results or outcomes that you are receiving in any area of your life there will be a correlation to the level of commitment you are providing in that area.   I know that when I reflect on areas of my own life, whether it be when I was at school or in my career, business, relationships, finances or spiritual life, I have always achieved the best results or outcomes when I have been truly committed.   If you are not achieving the results or outcomes in any area of your life evaluate for a moment your level of commitment in that area. Be honest with yourself. Could you be committing more in those areas? Are you dedicating the necessary time, energy, and resources to achieve the results or outcomes that you want in that area?   There is a general tendency for people to be committed to areas that are already going well for them and to neglect or avoid committing to those areas that need some improvement.

Yet I found myself feeling claustrophobic and battered from sitting in the back seat with our toddler. I had different expectations of our little mini holiday, just the 3 of us before our newest member joins us in less than 2 months time. Visions of relaxing by the campsite, reading, playing with our little one, having lots of naps and long sleeps. Yes I was delusional to say the least. Alexa didn’t like sitting in the toddler seat behind the driver, so I sat next to her, she didn’t like the constant change of scenery and her routine was out of synch.   She was extra clingy and this has been the case before we went away, so this went to the next level being in new surroundings and seeing different things.
