About promises
Never Make Promises You Don’t Plan — or Want — To Keep.
Nothing complicates your life faster than making promises you don’t plan or want to keep. This includes “I’ll try to make it”. To you, it’s a way of getting out of something you don’t want to do without hurting the other person. To the other person, it’s a commitment that you’ll be there.
Keep all the promises you do make, even to yourself.
Everytime we fail to keep a promise that we made, we lose a little bit of ourselves. This eats away at our sense of integrity and also at our relationships. The minute you know you won’t be able to keep a commitment you’ve made (including deadlines) let the other person know immediately. Deadlines and other commitments can be rescheduled easily. It’s a lot harder to repair trust.
