How Committed are you, Really?

leslie householder’s posts Oct 17, 2008

To succeed at anything meaningful, you’ve got to be all in. Fully committed. Let me share a story I heard at church as a teen that really drove home what true commitment looks like.

There was a group of farm animals one morning, debating who made the most important contribution to the farmer’s breakfast.

The cow stepped up and said proudly, “Without my milk, breakfast just wouldn’t be complete.”

The chicken chimed in, “Well, breakfast wouldn’t be breakfast without my eggs!”

But then the pig stepped forward and said, “Yeah, well, you two are involved… but me? I’m totally committed.”

Let that sink in.

So, when it comes to your goals—are you merely involved… or are you totally committed?

Choose goals that are worth giving your life to. Chase rabbits that matter. Freedom—to grow, to become who you were meant to be—that’s one rabbit worth the chase. Freedom to create strong relationships. Freedom to pursue physical health, emotional wellness, spiritual peace. Freedom to show what’s possible so you can light the way for others, too.

A goal is worthy if it opens the door for you to grow, contribute more, and uplift the people around you.

Be totally committed. No waffling (and no waffles for breakfast here!)—go full bacon: all in.

And if you realize you're not totally committed to the goals you’ve got? Then set a new one. Find a goal that stirs something deeper. One that lights a fire inside. One that’s worth your life’s energy.

You deserve to chase a dream that pulls you in with purpose.
