Did you read that right? Read again! It's not "broken promises" or "don't break promises". It's "break promises". What? What are you saying? Yes, it is sometimes necessary to do that!
Of course, there we go for an example: So, you promised your friends that you will be going on a trip with them and you are all planned, packed, and ready to go. Before the D day, you get an opportunity to participate in something that you probably have been waiting for but did not get a chance yet. What would you choose? Of course, it's going to the trip, right? No, wrong answer!! It should be seizing the opportunity. When would you again get an opportunity like this? Are you even sure, if it may happen the second time? If not, then why compromise? Yes, you may be selfish this time but are you always this way? If the answer is no, then it is okay to be selfish this time! If the other person is not able to understand how important that is to you, then do they even know you at all? Give it some thought!!
Then comes the second scenario! You have been planning about everything for the trip, but you have always been saying "yes, no, yes, no". Finally, you agree, but you get the participation opportunity at the last moment! Should you take it or not? I would say No! This is when you will be playing with a lot of emotions! If you have not been clear about the trip in the first place, you have simply increased the hopes of your friends every time they hear a yes from you! Crushing so many hopes and plans at the last moment after this kind of roller coaster emotion is the worst thing you could do or would do ever! The opportunity may or may not present itself again, but the way you have treated your friends would always be implanted in their minds and of course your mind! It just may make them trust you less next!
It is important to understand when to choose what you are choosing! Any new thoughts are welcome! :D
