“Desire is the key to motivation, but it’s determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek.”

“Success is not only a goal. It is a journey. When you commit yourself to the journey, the goal is surely there to be attained.”

“Have a clear goal and plan. Waste no effort in your journey. Be strong, committed, and effective and you will experience a level of success few will ever know.”

“Perseverance, determination, commitment, and courage - those things are real. The desire for redemption drives you. And the will to succeed - it’s everything. That’s why, on the pool deck in Beijing in the summer of 2008, there were sometimes no words, only screams.”

“Do you want to know what one of the secrets to achieving all of your goals is? You’ve got to be committed.”

“Love is a commitment that will be tested in the most vulnerable areas of spirituality, a commitment that will force you to make some very difficult choices. It is a commitment that demands that you deal with your lust, your greed, your pride, your power, your desire to control, your temper, your patience, and every area of temptation that the Bible clearly talks about. It demands the quality of commitment that Jesus demonstrates in His relationship to us.”
