When our commitment is wavering, the best way to stay on track is to consider the progress we've already made. As we recognize what we've invested and attained, it seems like a waste to give up, and our confidence and commitment surge.

About This Quote

When our commitment is wavering, the best way to stay on track is to consider the progress we've already made. As we recognize what we've invested and attained, it seems like a waste to give up, and our confidence and commitment surge. With this quote, author Dennis Waitley makes a great point. Rather than withdrawing from a situation that is causing problems, it’s better to stay committed.

In fact, the more committed you are, the greater the sense of accomplishment you will feel when you finish your task. As you work toward your goal, you will naturally feel more confident about your success.
