The Irony of Commitment

more words of wisdom from a Starbucks cup this week:

THE WAY I SEE IT # 76

"The irony of commitment is that it's deeply liberating -- in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life."

- Anne Morriss
{Starbucks customer from New York City. She describes herself as an "organization builder, restless American citizen, optimist."}

I was so taken with this one, that I saved the cup here on my desk for three whole days!

So the question begs to be asked:
WHAT is it in your life that YOU are waiting to COMMIT to ???

And I have to ask ... what are you waiting for?!

Starbucks Wisdom

You see, it's not just for the coffee, or the Black Tea/Lemonade, or the chai ... it's for their CUPS, too. Wisdom comes on those Starbucks cups; did you know that?

Whenever I feel a little down, or even a little up ... basically, whenever I just plain feel like it ... I stop into the closest Starbucks for a little perk me up. And for the WISE sayings that one always comes away with ...

For instance, yesterday's Nonfat Chai Latte came with this tidbit:

"The way I see it
Isn't necessarily
The way you see it
Or the way it is
Or ought to be
What's more important
Is that we're all
Looking for it
And a way to see it"

-- Desi Di Nardo, Author & Poet, Toronto Canada

Okay, so I don't know what "it" is, and I'm guessing you couldn't say with any certainty either. But whatever IT is, IT sure sounds like something we all could use a whole lot more of.

I'm guessing it has to do with us being in relation with one another, somewhow.

Works for me {kinda like their beverages do ...}. I'm a Starbucks fan, all the way.
