Before making a promise, pause and ask yourself: Am I truly ready to follow through?
Promises aren’t just words, they create expectations. The person you make a promise to begins to rely on it. They plan around it, hope for it, and trust in your word. That’s why, when a promise is broken, it’s not just about irresponsibility, it feels like disrespect.
If you realize you can’t keep your word, don’t stay silent. Communicate. Explain. Apologize. It’s not weakness, it’s integrity.
At the heart of every strong relationship – personal or professional – lies one essential foundation: humanity. Let’s honor that, one promise at a time 💫
