Brought to my attention

My husband brought this quote to my attention (from Starbx cup "the way I see it").

"The irony of commitment is that it’s deeply liberating – in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life."
- Anne Morriss

I have trouble with this for some reason, viewing commitment as a short rope tied tightly to my ankles and the wrought iron fence conveniently called "stability." I am the ultimate "grass is greener...." follower. I'm not really sure what I am looking for, but to say yes to something now (in my eyes) is to say no to the thing that thing that will inevitably follow shortly behind. It seems quite pessimistic. I need to work on it.....i like the idea of being committed. I have done quite well with this whole marriage thing.....:-)
