Commitment vs. Agreement

A friend of mine taught me the following:

"Have a lot of agreements and have few commitments."

Agreements are things that you have with others that may be negotiated and possibly changed if needed.

Commitments are things that you do, no matter what.  These things should never be broken. Remember, this is your word. 

It's best to have commitments in major life areas and agreements in minor life areas. Give yourself some room to negotiate with agreements and honor your commitments.
