Preference changes. A project that felt exciting becomes repetitive; a practice becomes inconvenient; a promise outlasts the mood in which it was made.

If commitment means only continuing while we feel like it, the exit is built in from the beginning. A stronger commitment allows for changing feelings without turning each change of mood into a new decision.

That is not stubbornness. A commitment can become harmful, impossible, or irrelevant and may need revision. The point is that boredom, fatigue, or a temporary loss of enthusiasm do not automatically settle the question.

Sometimes we want to continue and are committed to continue. Sometimes the commitment is precisely what remains when preference has moved elsewhere.
