The only issue I have with keeping one's word, is when situations change. Sometimes what is agreed to or what is aimed for, is no longer appropriate and should change. If we feel we can't adjust because it changes "our word" then we are potentially stuck in a pattern of failure. If new information comes to light that shifts our understanding, we should be able to shift our actions.

Very true. It's something I've had to emphasize with my kids, like when we go to a gathering at my in-laws' house. We'll tell my sons we think so and so will be there, but sometimes people get sick or something comes up, and to be prepared in case they can't make it.

Very true. Sometimes I ask myself, "Is this the hill I want to die on?" 😆
