Your own dedication can surprise you today as you cling to certain commitments in the name of custom. Though you are likely determined to remain loyal, you may be dismayed to see your devotion begin to waver over time. This can be the result of the simple fact that your values are changing as you yourself change. Consequently, the commitments you once made may no longer be in accordance with the ideology you have currently adopted. Easing any conflicted feelings you may today have can be as easy as looking critically at the events unfolding in your life to determine what aspects of these circumstances no longer match up with your values.

We become much more flexible when we accept that constancy is only possible up to a point because change is quite often a necessary element of personal growth. While we may feel driven to stay loyal to a single course of action or to see a challenging circumstance through to its conclusion, such a choice will not always be representative of a track that will lead us forward on our individual journeys. To make regular progress, we should analyze each situation we encounter as a set of unique potentials. By doing this we come across circumstances in which we need to break away from our loyalties or act against our values, and it will be our acceptance of the necessity of change that permits us to do so. When you question the value of dedication today, you will find that constancy is not always the matchless alternative.
