Setting existential consequences for failure to achieve desired actions/goals

Does this mean "promising to kill oneself for failure to achieve desired actions/goals"?

It might, but my thinking here was to encompass all those techniques that people might try in the line of "do it or God should send me to hell" or "do it or I am failing my ancestors" or "do it or the universe suffers".
