What should you do if your commitment is boring? Commitment has value when things are not so charming. When things are interesting you do not need commitment at all. You never say you are committed to doing something that is very interesting or charming.
A commitment can only be felt when it oversteps convenience. When something is convenient, it is not called commitment. If you are driven by your convenience, your commitment falls apart causing more inconvenience!
If you keep dropping your commitment because it is inconvenient, can you be comfortable? Often what is convenient does not bring comfort but just gives an illusion of comfort. Also if you are too stuck in commitment, and it is inconvenient too often, you will be unable to fulfill your commitment and it will only generate frustration.
Wisdom is to strike a balance between convenience and commitment because both bring comfort to the body, mind and spirit. A seeker of knowledge should forget about convenience, as should soldiers, rulers, students, seekers of wealth and all essential service providers. Those who want to be creative and adventurous need to transcend convenience. Those who are ambitious and have a passion for a goal will not care for convenience.
Commitment is comfort to the wise. Whenever their commitment is shaken, their comfort is also shaken. To the lazy, commitment is torture though it is their best remedy. In the long run, commitment will always bring comfort.
Are there any commitments that can be given up? Yes. Sometimes when you make a commitment without a vision, you feel stifled when your vision expands. Such commitments made with shortsightedness can be given up. A smaller, less important commitment can be given up for a greater commitment. Commitment to the means can be given up for the sake of a commitment to the goals. When in the long run, your commitment brings misery to many it can be given up.
