How many times have you promised yourself to do things and not done it. How
many times have you said that today you will
- Eat a health lunch
- Start working out
- Go on a date with your spouse
- Buy a ticket for a vacation
- Arrive on time for a meeting
- Go home early to play with your children
How many times did you just not live up to your own promise?
I can tell you that it happens to me many times a day
The thing is that once I don’t live up to my word, I start giving myself excuses.
- I have no spine
- I am useless
- I would never do business with myself (See Secret Ingredients)
When this happens I stop believing in myself and I start living with a low self confidence.
When I do live up to my word, I start riding the wave, my self confidence rises as I can see that I manage to do things, breakthroughs start happening in life.
So how do you start? how do you live up to your promise.
Its all in your personal integrity. Start committing your promises. It is easier when you tell others what you promise to do. Commit to actions that are in your control and live up to your word.
