"Commitment, Abby commitment! There are only two creatures worthy to live, those who make commitments and those who require commitments to be made of others." — John Adams to his wife Abigail
The Principle Behind the Quote
This quote from John Adams to his wife Abigail in the 1700s still rings loud and true. The principle behind it is timeless.
- Commitment sees one through the uncertainties of life.
- Commitment doesn't mean a person can't adjust or be flexible.
- Commitment is not a cause, but the motor for those with a cause.
- Commitment doesn't have to be loud, overbearing, or intimidating.
- Commitment is resolve, perseverance, with integrity — usually passion whether seen from the outside, or most importantly, from the inside.
Commitment in Captive Insurance
Family, faith, business, and many others are all worthy of commitment. A person certainly can be committed to multiple causes at the same time.
Captive insurance requires commitments. Commitment to learn and understand, at least to a certain degree. Commitment to engage. Commitment to follow through.
A handshake, a person's word, once was the standard for commitments. Today there are appropriately contracts and fees to secure a commitment. However, a person's words and actions speak much louder than legalese.
