Commit to bettering yourself

If you can't commit to yourself, how is it possible to Authentically commit to anything else? How many excuses have you made and dismissed or procrastinated your own priorities? You may not even realize the habit and acceptance of excuses. Are you living in comfort zones & settling for just being " ok "? To commit to bettering yourself is simple but not always easy.
