I agree, commitment is important!  In all things, big and small. Just as is achievement, big or small. No commitment, no chance of achievement. 

Did you notice the phrasing. "what is wanted" not what he wants. Sometimes there is a difference.

I suppose if there is victory as the end goal, there's got to be a battle of some kind, something has to lose.  In our case CBT doers win and the anxiety loses.  Hoorah!

The program promises a cure and you have noticed it is a battle. The condition if you want to win is simple. You have to do it.

Who knew that before the battle began, there would be a condition?

Hugs:  Funny you should ask that.  I was just thinking how much I have grown emotionally.  Mostly thinking about how life is a journey, it's never over 'til we're dead.  Thinking about how CBT gets us to know ourselves better and what makes us tick as the old saying goes, but how even after you learn CBT, you still have to keep progressing in your development.  You can't just do the CBT and then expect your life will change.  True, being calmer without panic and anxiety will allow you to do more, experience more, but you still have to work at what it is you want out of life.  So, it's up to us - the choice is always ours.

Quote of the Day:
You cannot always control what goes on outside. But you can always control what goes on inside.
- Wayne Dyer


I know exactly where Wayne Dyer's breakthrough book is in my closet, where it has been for years, given to me by my cousin, in the turmoil of growing up, and a death in the family.  His book came in the midst of my beginning a personal growth journey, which is continuing.
 
How is your journey continuing?
