Underlying Commitments As
Identity
In this case, it takes special courage to risk
going for what we really want. If you feel that
the underlying commitments you discover are
a part of your identity, stay aware that you
may need to keep reminding yourself of you
who want to be, not who you’ve always been.
Digging Deeper
Yes, it’s true that some underlying
commitments can be more easily unearthed
than others. And some of them can be
disengaged quickly, while others take a lot
of time and work. If you find that you have
some difficult underlying commitments in
