I do here by commit myself to my �roadmap�. I will use my previously stated overarching principles to better myself. I will embrace the challenge of a disciplined and structured life. I understand that want I need to do most is often what I hate to do. This will require courage to break and reform myself. I will challenge myself to live up to my roadmap. I consider my roadmap to be �sacred�. One method of meeting these goals is to take baby steps � that is to challenge myself with one change each week and to build upon these successes. I will create and maintain forward momentum in my life. My roadmap serves as a measure of my character, my moral fiber, my work ethic, my courage. It carries only the threat of a life half lived, filled with loss, loneliness, and not as happy or fulfilled. Therefore I commit to this process here this day 4-14-04 @ 2:43 AM in the university computer lab. I consider this pledge �sacred� to myself and to those I love.
