Integrity Matters

Do you make plans with others that sound fun at the time, but when the day comes and your mood is different, you cancel? If so, you may be unaware of the message you’re sending. Since others have cleared their schedules to make time for us, canceling communicates that we don’t value their time or our own word. Even if others ‘understand’ our need to back out, frequent plan changing conveys a lack of respect for ourselves and them. To avoid eroding our friendship and our self-esteem, it’s important to keep our word! That in itself makes commitments…

Worth keeping.
