“The commitments we make to ourselves and to others, and our integrity to those commitments, is the essence and clearest manifestation of our proactivity.”
~ Stephen R. Covey from “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People”
Do you honor your commitments?
Are you making commitments you don’t want to make or have no intention of following thru on? Eek!
Pay attention to what you’re committing to and to whom you’re making those commitments.
As Covey says, your integrity to the commitments you make is one of, and perhaps THE, most important factors in living with Arete and achieving a consistent level of joy and happiness.
Although you may not be aware of it consciously, if you have a bunch of (or a string of hundreds of) broken commitments over the last day/week/month/year/decade, you’re energetically drowning in the weight of that lack of integrity.
You know you know when you’re not doing the stuff you say you’re going to do—whether it was getting up at a certain time this morning, working out or following a certain routine, whatever.
So... Let's start honoring your commitments! :)
