During May, we have many celebrations, including Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, and Mental Health Awareness Month, along with weddings, anniversaries, and graduations. The common thread to all of these is commitment; to loved ones, to achieving goals, to Country, to patients, and to self-care.
Commitment is an important component in our lives; it enables us to achieve our goals and lead purposeful and meaningful lives. Purpose or motivation starts us on a given path, but commitment is what keeps us going through difficulties and bumps along the way. Anything worth attaining requires commitment, whether it is a fulfilling relationship, raising great children, achievement in school, sports or a career, is guaranteed to present challenges. When we are committed to these outcomes, we’re willing to do whatever it takes to follow through on our responsibility.
Commitment is also good for our overall mental health as it helps reinforce a sense of purpose, and provide direction and structure, which can help us cope with challenges and foster resilience. It also helps build stronger relationships while reducing stress and anxiety.

Three Keys to Staying Committed to your Goals
Starting toward a goal is the exciting part of achievement. What keeps us going are the three keys to attainment:
- Purpose: Gets us started and is half the battle of achieving goals
- Determination: Includes learning to problem solve and take steps to work past obstacles
- Sacrifice: Standing by our commitments even when it causes interruptions in other areas of life
