We say we are going to “call you later.”
We say we will “see you soon.”
We say we will “take care of it.”
Somewhere between those words falling unintentionally out of our mouths and the end of time we don’t actually follow through.
These little comments may seem innocent. They are just what we say without thinking and they don’t really matter.
Do they?
Every time we do not follow through with something we say we are going to do, we chip away at our relationship with ourselves. We diminish our ability to trust ourselves.
Do what you say you are going to do.
And if you know you are not going to do it after all, just let that person know.
