It is easy to keep your word when you give it only to things that have you stay in the land of comfort and safety, rather than call you into expansion and growth. Look and see what you are giving your word to—comfort or growth? There is nothing to fix about this. Just notice it. And if you desire more powerful results, you can achieve this through choosing and honoring bigger commitments.
What is the difference between those that thrive versus those that despair in the midst of tragedy, pain, loss, etc? What is the difference between those that flourish versus those that self-destruct when abundance and advancement come their way? It is the foundation of our way of being that determines how we literally bear life. And it's almost impossible to identify it in ourselves on our own.
When it comes to your being, it is not just who you are that matters here…it is who you THINK you are. Zig Ziglar articulately said, “You cannot consistently perform in a manner which is inconsistent with the way you see yourself.” You can actually be free but live as though you are not…because you believe you’re not. You will always live into what you believe about who you are. That is all you can ever do.
