Words are so easy. Action is much more difficult. Sometimes we make promises because it’s the most efficient thing to do in the moment. If we can just keep quiet until we know we are committed to doing what we say, then we’d save ourselves a lot of heartache and discomfort. And we’d create a reputation for integrity. I try my hardest to say nothing until I know my words can be backed up by my actions.

Great post!

Great post here,and a timely reminder. I always struggle with making commitments I can’t keep. In my experience, people always go back to people who can stick to something they say they’re gonna do. It really matters

“When it comes to becoming a man or woman of your word, consistency matters. Imagine that you’re trying to draft a star athlete for your favorite athletic team. Would you want a player who was a hit or miss?” – ok, ok. I’m going to go exercise now. Thanks for reminding me.

making commitments you can keep is one of the most important advice, i used to give promises that i couldn’t meet out of being nice but i only discovered that in the end people feel bad

One of the things I pride myself on is my honesty and it’s key to keeping my word and building trust imo. Sometimes it backfires (yes your bum does look fat in though jeans) but overall I keep my integrity.

Bud, you speak with maturity beyond your years. It’s very refreshing in this day and age, where the norm is often selfish pursuit of entertainment.

I especially like your section about consistency. It is one of the greatest challenges in my life, and it’s something I work hard on with my coaching clients.

I know you still have many years before you find your career path, but you might consider becoming the first of a new generation of life coaches/inspirational speakers.

I have actually used the Law of Attraction to get a new position at work which gives me a great schedule for blogging. I work at 9am, so I get up at 5am to blog for 2-2.5 hours every day. The part where I need to set limitations is to make sure I can go to bed between 10 & 11 at night so I can use that time well the next day.

I blew through my draft queue pretty quickly and now have catching up to do, so I started a group challenge to build up 2 weeks worth of posts in 1 month. I thought this would be a more effective way to handle the extra work pressure and also get some extra traffic and seo for everyone involved, and even make some friends in the process. Check it out if you’re interested. The last couple posts on my site give the details.
