Out of everything Starbucks has printed on the side of a cup of the years, my favorite is The Way I See It #76.
“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 remove your head as the barrier to your life.” – Anne Morriss

I couldn't disagree more and take the exact opposite side of each of your claims as to why it is "liberating"
Best of luck to you.

Actually, I agree with you that commitment is liberating. When it comes to choosing a major in college, or choosing a career, I've found it extremely liberating once I was able to sift through all the confusion and choose the one thing I loved the most. I've found finding your passion and just "deciding" on a career has been extremely liberating. It allows you to dedicate your energy towards that specific choice/field, rather than spending all your time trying to weigh the pros and cons of each thing and make decisions.

Commitment to grad school was liberating for me as well. I think if one is considering doing something, the final committment is bound to be liberating. Marriage wouldn't be liberating for me because it isn't something I ever considered doing. What is liberating to one person is not necessarily going to be liberating to another.

I agree with a lot of this post. I have commited myself to my job and to my family. However, I was not able to commit myself to my relationship. It has nothing to do with how much I cared for the person, it just had to do with the amount of commitment I put into other aspects of my life.
It is a hard realization to know that you aren't fully commited to something, and it is a difficult decision to end it, but in some cases it is for the best. Now I can commit myself fully to my job, and to me that is liberating...

@Chad - Could you tell me more about why your experience has been different?
@Olivia- I love that difference. The idea of grad school makes me feel anxious so if I committed to that, I'd be committing for the wrong reasons. In a way, it makes our own commitments even more personal and our own.
