The courage to follow through with promises

<![CDATA[

Having the courage to follow through with your promises is a big thing. People sometimes do not realise that this will at times be a test; when you have to commit or fore fill some promise to another person. Yes at times you not want to make do on those promises and other people may plainly forget about them, it takes courage to say look I need more time. I haven’t got to this yet I shall do it I have had a bit on my plate lately, sure at times things do come up and that is ok. Yet when someone does not follow through on their part of a promise it does not help at all.

Say someone suggests they will help with a project and when the time comes around to help they are busy. You have fore filled you part of the deal, however they do not remember or say anything about such. This happens a lot, however when someone is genuine with their promise and commitment they will make it happen no matter what. They may have to say look can I delay this and you go from there. It’s a matter of being faithful to those commitments and promises which you have made to someone no matter what happens. Ok yes at times you may need to take a raincheck or say look can we do it some other time. However when this happens a number of times it can really affect any friendship or relationship.

The more the person lets you down the more it becomes harder to trust them as a person. This is how friendships or relationships are destroyed, the more someone doesn’t follow through on their word the more it says I do not know that you should trust me to the other person. Yes there may be genuine reasons, when someone does not offer an alternative then it makes the person who made the request feel hurt when they are continually let down by that same person. When you are someone who does such then it’s best to say I do not think I can do that. Not say yes and forget or not follow through as it only hurts the friendship. This especially happens when you say yes to something and then suddenly pull out, ok yes there are good reasons for doing such. It really depends on how good the friendship / relationship before someone will say no that’s enough and put their foot down.

Think about it. Are you someone who constantly says yes and then does not follow through, are you someone who will say look I am busy is it ok to do it later, do you keep to your commitments or promises. That’s a big thing as it can say a lot about your character as a person and even how much you respect, admire and love that person. When someone continually breaks promises it is a sign of a lack of respect for that other person. Yet when they ask to delay it means they want to do it, when they do what is asked it suggests they respect you as a person.
