“Commitment gives you freedom because you’re no longer distracted by the unimportant and frivolous. Commitment gives you freedom because it hones your attention and focus, directing them toward what is most efficient at making you healthy and happy.

Commitment allows you to focus intently on a few highly important goals and achieve a greater degree of success than you otherwise would.”
