Time & Perspective Quote by Suzanne Somers

Somers isn’t offering a gentle pep talk; she’s delivering a deadline. The blunt “They are no longer going to serve you well” frames hesitation as a kind of expired product - something that might have worked once, but now actively fails you. It’s the language of self-help, yes, but also of performance: reinvention as a practical necessity, not a dreamy aspiration.

The repetition does the heavy lifting. “You have to commit. I think the biggest word is commit.” It’s less argument than incantation, the way a TV personality pins an audience to a single actionable verb. Somers, whose public persona fused sitcom familiarity with entrepreneurial wellness evangelism, knows that commitment is the hinge between entertainment and conversion. You can’t sell a lifestyle to someone who stays in the “maybe” zone.

Then she slips in the real target: the endless preface. “I want to, I want to” is a quote within the quote - a mimicry of stalled desire that’s almost affectionate, almost scolding. She’s not diagnosing a moral failure; she’s naming a cultural habit where intention substitutes for change. By calling out both “women… and men,” she widens the net, but the subtext still nods to the gendered pressure her audience often feels: be decisive, be improving, don’t waste time.

In context, this reads like Somers at peak brand: motivational toughness wrapped in approachable cadence. The intent is to convert longing into action by making indecision feel not just unproductive, but obsolete.
