Let's talk about commitments.
My mom challenged me recently to fulfill some commitments I had made. She told me that it's always important to honor your commitments. I realized that I have gotten away from that lately.
You see, it's not enough just to tell people that you will do something when you have no intentions of doing so. I will admit: I have done this numerous times in the past few months and it's unfair to those who expect me to get things done. It wasn't meant to be malicious or anything like that; I was simply trying to feel like I was helping, although in the end I wasn't...
Herein lies the problem: my innate desire to help people. Yeah, they call me Superman and sometimes that gets to my head. But this pattern in my life needs to stop. How? With the help of God. I know that He alone holds the power to break this addiction.
So, I say all this to make this point: don't cease from making commitments. Just be cautious in the promises that you make because you can only do but so much. In the past I've learned this the hard way, but I don't plan on making that mistake ever again! :)
