Keeping Commitments

How often do you keep commitments that you make to others?  Saying yes when you know you won’t, or saying yes to a deadline knowing you can’t make that.  Are we even concious that we’ve just made a commitment - a promise if you like.  And then we sometimes wonder why people chase us, send reminder emails or worse still begin to not believe us.

How often do you keep the ones you make to yourself.  For me I’ve found the harder part was keeping those I’d made to me.  So I’ve been working on improving that.  I now find myself thinking - is this a commitment or an ideal, a promise or a maybe. 

Focus on this for a couple of weeks and notice what changes for you.
