From Inside Every Woman by Vickie L. Milazzo:
With the best intentions, we extend ourselves in one area, perhaps our career, which causes us to unintentionally slight another: our family, our financial well-being or our physical well-being. If you promise yourself you will absolutely take that vacation this year, but fail to follow through because you overcommitted in another area, you’ve betrayed your promise and yourself.
Some people might even see you as a hero for putting other interests ahead of your own. But that failure is like the first domino in a line – one falls against the next, which falls against the next, and so on until none is left standing.
