What is the longest you have consciously committed to something?

Actually, I have to say I stick with things not because I have made a conscious commitment to do so, but because they are easy. I guess at this point, my job which I have beent tempted to leave
seriously at least twice, but have chosen to stick with it. This project is the longest I've consciously made a commitment to something not crucial to my live and stuck with it.

Hmm... I have prayed, every day, at some point, since the age of 5. Nothing big, just a quick prayer. It's a habit of mine; I don't really think about it anymore.

During elementary school, more than fifty years ago, I had old textbooks, uninspired teachers and anti-intellectual classmates. I swore then that when I was All Grown Up that I would avoid boredom whenever possible.Further, I would always have a good book to read--and a good book
to read next. I've kept these vows for more than fifty years.
