Commitments Over Feelings

Commitments Over Feelings

Today I’m reflecting on the difference between feelings and actions. There are times when we simply don’t feel like doing the things we know we should. But the truth is, feelings should never determine our actions. Commitments should.

Whether it’s getting out of bed, going for a walk, exercising, or choosing a salad over the brownies that look way too good to resist… it’s our commitments that guide us toward who we want to become. When actions are ruled by feelings, we drift. When actions are ruled by commitment, we grow.

Traveling this past week reminded me how easy it is to fall out of rhythm. Between time zones in Scottsdale, Arizona, Tampa, Florida, and back to Texas, my body felt out of balance. Late nights, early mornings, long travel days—it all takes a toll. But coming home reminded me that discipline and alignment always start with returning to what I’m committed to.

I didn’t feel like getting up today. I didn’t feel like doing much of anything. But I’m committed—to my health, my faith, my purpose, and my family. That’s what pulls me back into alignment.

So tonight, even though my body is tired, I’m getting ready to walk with my family. Because family comes first. Every grain of sand in the hourglass is a moment passing by, and we never know how many we have left. Accidents happen. Health can change. But love, connection, and commitment are choices we get to make every single day.

Take advantage of the time you have. Be grateful for the moments that remind you who you are and what truly matters.
