Journal Writing Prompt: Commitment
“People can achieve meaning in their lives only if they have made commitments beyond the self — religious commitments, commitments to loved ones, to one’s fellow humans, to excellence, to some conception of an ethical order — you give life meaning through your commitments.”
~ John W. Gardner
What do you think? In your journal, write your initial reaction to John W. Gardner’s thoughts on commitment, above. Do you believe that your life is given meaning through your commitments?
Journal Writing Prompt Bonus: What are your commitments in life that are made above and beyond your self? Are you solidly committed religiously? Do you have loved ones you are commited to (yes, your pets count as loved ones!)? Are you committed to others? Committed to excellence? Write about your commitments in your journal. Which are the most important to you? The least important? Why?
Happy Journaling!
