Cut Yourself on Broken Promises and Swedish Wisdom
I have a habit of making commitments, many of which i dont keep.
This means that i let myself down and i let others down.
Its not that i dont want to keep them. When i make these commitments, i have the best of intentions, but then i just dont deliver as i am overwhelmed by other commitments i have made.
And this is a problem. I drop so many balls, i let down so many people who are waiting for me, and in the end, i let myself down.
I am not alone. There are many people like me, who make commitment after commitment after commitment and never deliver the goods.
I think of that Swedish Saying: “Fear less, hope more; Eat less, chew more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Love more, and all good things will be yours”
I have to keep my mouth shut and stop making commitments. I also need to keep all the commitments i have done so far.
So that’s what i am doing.
