Commitments Require Consideration
Our focus this week — Nov 19-Nov 25: “Commitment”
Today’s MotD: Commitments Require Consideration. We’re encouraged to take an extra moment or two before “yes-ing” or “no-ing” a commitment. It’s in that moment that we take into consideration all parties involved, especially ourselves, to question our ability, availability, and the motivation it requires to do said commitment.
Questions like: is this something I can do ? is this something I’m willing to do ? is this something I have the time to do ? is this in alignment with my values ? is it something that’s negotiable with regards to how and deadlines ? what would be my ‘why’ for doing it ? what would be my ‘why’ for NOT doing it ? And so on.
Obviously with small or short-term commitments, the process of consideration is less involved and yet taking that extra moment to think it through could save everyone involved some grief and frustration if we were to change our minds before the “transaction” is completed.
Essentially, we’re being reminded to be considerate of all who are involved with this commitment to think it through before responding on auto-pilot.
How about you ? When asked to make a commitment (big or small), do you take an extra moment to consider whether or not it’s something you would or wouldn’t want to do ? Do you examine the pros and cons before giving your answer ? What about your “why” for doing or not doing it ?
BTW…Here’s the before…the front and back view of today’s puzzle piece and the pretty ceramic box that holds all my numbers from which I randomly choose each day’s puzzle piece number:

ABOUT THE 2025 Mandalas of the Day
Throughout the year, I’ll be building one large (48”x48”) Tibetan-styled Mandala one piece at a time…one puzzle piece at a time, that is. The mandala design and the reversed puzzle side were printed on artist-quality watercolor paper. The forward facing puzzle side was printed on a 48”x48” wood panel.
Each day, at random, I’ll be painting in watercolors one of the 365 watercolor puzzle pieces, that by the end of the year will become Archangel Mandala #4. Read more about the Archangel Series. The word/message for each piece will be inspired by Melody Beattie’s book “52 Weeks of Conscious Contact”.
Ultimately, the message of this mandala is about how we are all uniquely part of the one.
