Morals, ethics and values are only good toward completing your commitment if you follow them up with passionate action. Morals and ethics produce the good values in all of us, but only through the actions of effort on any ones part. Many people can have good morals and ethics. Their values suffer because they do not take action towards keeping the commitment.
We have all fallen short of goals during commitments. Our hearts were in the right place, but our actions were limited. Thus the saying...."The road was paved with good intentions." Much of the time we as human beings flounder because of the lack of passionate effort on our part. We lose focus with every distraction that crosses our view. We let ourselves get side-tracked unless it is something we really want and are passionate about.
The only way to build these concepts to commitment is to replicate your passion every day. I am thankful, I love my job, I love my wife and family. Honest effort driven by passion to not let the commitment falter. Replicating the passion of life into the mainstream of our everyday lives injects a profound way of thinking. If we do the replicating enough, we soon do it unknowingly everyday making minor adjustments with little thinking involved. It is much like learning to walk or drive a car. We make precise decisions through integrated movements that have been replicated over time. Driving a car is a commitment to get you from point A to point B. Yet we do it flawlessly without much thought.
Living up to your commitments takes a lot of work over long periods of time. How we use our morals and ethics to keep us on the right road to problem free commitments, depends greatly on how we replicate the commitment itself into our every day lives. The passion about how you see the commitment keeps it stagnate free and soon you enjoy what the commitment offers your life. Many people will never live up to their commitments because they see replicating any part of their lives as repetitious. That is only because they lack the passion of following through to make the commitment work. Replicate, replicate, and then apply. Happiness at fulfilling your commitment will bring great pleasure. It will set the standard for others involved in your life to see the value that commitment can offer if it is done with a passionate frame of mind.
