An image on social media. A high-performer at work. A caring friend, partner, and family member. A kind neighbor. A shoulder to cry on. Yes is easier than no. These commitments build up when we don’t make time to reflect.  What does each of your commits cost? Take five minutes to reflect.

1) Does it bring you closer to what you want?
      You have goals. Even if you haven’t written them down. Is your time spent on each commit a positive influence toward your goal? 

2) Is the result worth it?
      What do you expect to achieve or receive? The warm feeling of helping someone is a good answer. But helping everyone who asks could prevent you from creating a method to help 10x the amount.  Is it worth your time?

Take an intentional step.
