Short and sweet motivational questions for your self-care #13. The special world

If you promise the people in your life something, are you going to keep your word and to follow through?

Not once in a blue moon, not only when it is easy, not just because you have nothing better to do this time.

At the end of the day, you are going to have excuses or results.

Are you going to make your promise a priority?

Are you going to take it seriously and to see it as a way to show that you care?

Are you going to respect the people in your life?

If the answer is no, don't make any promise yet.

Even if you think that making a promise that you are not sure to be able to keep will make your loved ones happy, at least for a moment, or even if you would promise something just for not hurting the feelings of someone. Or for not being labeled as bad. Or for so many other reasons that look good at first, and yet they are not.

Don't be that person busy finding lousy excuses for not sticking to her guns and talking BS that don't help anyone. 

Ask yourself instead: Which kind of person do you want to be for the people in your life?
