Every time you say that you’ll do something and end up doing something totally different, you’re chipping away at your personal power.  Certainly its fine to change our mind sometimes.  But for the most part, we need to be demonstrating to ourselves that we are in control of our lives by keeping our word.

The more you stand by your commitments, the stronger you become.

To influence others, you must believe in yourself.  To believe in yourself, you must believe what you say and do what you say.

— Making Friends, Andrew Matthews
