“If you treat an individual as he is, he will remain how he is. But if you treat him as if he were what he ought to be and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

What's Your Level of Committment
I was riding the bus and I happen to look up a saw the word "commitment," next to a college enrollment post which was ironic because I had just seen T.D. Jake's sermon on it.
I can see how the two are related because nothing in life can happen without a enormous amount of commitment and hard work. If you are not full committed or are willing to work hard, you will never reach the full potential. But it took me back to the sermon I had heard. In it T.D. Jake talks about how we are in a generation of people who never full commit.
It made me wonder, what am I committed to? And do I fully ever give myself to anything? In the past, I would say something and boom I would do it but as I have gotten older the drive has slowly dwindled. But I am still accomplishing goals? So is "commitment" to the completion of goal?
I am not sure but I have devised an experiment to find out. I have given up my most precious likes in an effort to lose those last 5 lbs. The items include: fast food, soda, sweets (cookies, cake, ice cream, etc.) and I have replaced it with healthy alternatives. But I also added some things: going to church regularly, blogging more, and exercise once a day.
I am not sure how it will pan out but I want to try it.

My Dallas, Texas Nightmare
So I went to Dallas for business/vacation last week and I most say it was a nightmare. Due to the whole city shutting down I was stuck a hotel for two days then the airport for another 2 days. Which was not fun because the airport was freezing. I had four cancelled flights by United and only got home when they sent a crew from Houston. I personally think United should have done that earlier. I am definately going to write a letter of complaint to both organizations. Ice storms are not uncommon in Dallas and there should be a better crisis management plan. But I thankful to God that I was able to leave Dallas.
