When we speak of keeping your promises, it’s not just about keeping your promises to other people. You absolutely MUST keep your promises to yourself too.
So few people do this without realizing just how devastating the effects are. If you decide to work out thrice a week, you MUST keep this promise to yourself. If you plan to create content daily for your online business, you must stick to the plan.
There will be times when you just do not feel like it. Times when you’re not in the mood. It’s during these times that you must take action.
This topic will be addressed in a later chapter. For now, what you need to know is this… When you do not keep your promises to yourself, you lose respect for yourself.
You may give all the excuses you want. As convincing as they may be, deep down on a subconscious level, you’ll know that you failed yourself.
Many people hate themselves for not getting to where they want to go in life. It all starts from these little promises that you don’t keep.
In the next chapter we’ll look at why you should do what matters, when it matters. Respect yourself, your goals and your efforts.
Once you do what you need to do, you’ll feel motivated and proud of yourself. This will give you the impetus to keep pushing forward towards your goals.
