My Personal Commitment Statement

Based on the lessons I have learnt from African Beauty and the Unforgiveness Beast, I commit myself to:

Name: _______________________

Date: _______________________

For RSForm! Pro, this would work beautifully because:

• Readers type their answers online.
• The submission is stored.
• A PDF can be generated.
• Six months later they can revisit it.
• They can compare their original commitment with their current reality.

And unlike the Self-Assessment, there is no score.

The value lies in the commitment itself.
