It is easy to take our commitments for granted. We make commitments every day but many times we do not stop to think about the seriousness and the consequences that go along with these commitments.

It’s easy to say “yes” or agree to do something, but when it becomes time to perform we allow distractions to get in the way. We allow other offers to grab our attention. We allow personal gratification to supersede fulfilling the needs of other people. And, we can loose sight of the importance of just showing up for a friend or colleague.
