writes:commitment is not a major life-threatening thing that someone does. People who can't make the smallest decisions are inevitably going to find it hard to make a major decision. The way I see it is that People who are afraid of commitment (to a relationship, a business, their own careers, a change of life, taking up a party membership or a mortgage, to name but a few) think falsely that they are protecting themselves from a bad future. They think that NOT committing is being free and powerful but what they are actually doing is putting themselves into ‘No man’s land’, an uncomfortable place of insecurity that is neither one thing, nor the other. The true power, and the freedom that results from this true power is to be able to make a decision. if they pick up their own power and make a decision, make a commitment, they immediately and instantly, and as a complete side effect of that power also inherit the power to un-commit at any time - and that is freedom.Instead of being trapped forever, they are free. They are free to change their mind, free to revoke their commitment, free to walk away. Making a commitment is a powerful and forward moving thing to do.People should not ever be afraid of it and the freedom it brings. It gets them out of endless worry and powerlessness, gives them back their destiny, and allows them to have all sorts of fun experiences along the way that the ditherers and fearful ones will NEVER have.Remember: It isn't the things we DID that we regret on our death bed, but instead, the things we DIDN'T do.

 I liked this article. We have a expression in Spanish: "Bare your chest to the bullets". I think your article is in line with this.
