You may have trouble responding definitively to those who come to you to ask for favors or help today. Even if you usually bend over backward to give people your assistance and support, an unexpected sense of reluctance can dissuade you from jumping at the chance to make this type of commitment. It may be that you are simply in a fickle mood, or your inclination to vacillate may be rooted in some deeper issue. However, you should not let these feelings of indecision unnerve you so much today that you feel compelled to overlook your own needs to see to the needs of others'. You may have a perfectly valid reason for saying no.
The promises we make at home and at work demonstrate our willingness to sacrifice ourselves for the well-being of others and are indicative of our feelings for those who come to us with petitions for assistance. Consequently, we should always think carefully about how a commitment will impact our lives and the lives of the people around us. We will not always have the resources necessary to help others at our disposal, however, and we may spend our period of contemplation vacillating between conclusions. There may even be times when we feel less inclined to say yes to a promise because we understand that our taking on the related responsibilities is unlikely to benefit those asking for our aid. You should not feel guilty for denying those who come to you for support today, as your reasons for doing so are no doubt sound.
