A Recipe for Regret

I was thinking of a friend this morning who had made a commitment promise to someone they love. That promise was made during a time of certain living conditions.

Sometime later, the person they had made the commitment promise to had created a change in their living conditions. Now my friend is struggling with the question, “Do I honour my word and keep the promise, even when I don’t feel good about making that promise under these new conditions?”

I was thinking about his situation this morning, and the words popped into my head, “Ignoring your own needs for the sake of others is a recipe for regret.”

I don’t think this was my ego speaking. I feel this was a direct message from a Higher Power.

It’s all well and good to be a person of our word,,, yet when keeping your word puts you in conflict with your values, and what’s important to you, it seems it would be more appropriate to de-commit than follow through and regret you made that promise later.

That’s the whole message, and I won’t belabour it.
