A True Friend Does Not Break Her Promise

This is an article that many of my followers have been after me to write. This may be one of those things that you may find unforgivable and basically you may decide to end you friendship. But before you go that far consider if it is something that you can forgive, if that is how you decide to forgive, be sure to keep your promise and forgive your friend.
Now remember a person that keeps her word or promise is a reliable person and someone you can trust. This type of friend is one you can feel confident about, when she makes a promise, she keeps it. That is a true friend, true friends do not make promises that they can not keep. A true friend should make sure she is capable of keeping the promise before she delivers you that promise. I suggest that if your friend tells you that she may not be able to keep her promise but will do her best to keep it, you should tell her thank you and that you understand. You see we all make mistakes but your friend should not ever set you up to a false expectation as that is no way to treat a friend.
I suggest that you do not make a promise to anyone or yourself that you know you can not fulfill. Once you make such a promise you should do everything in your power to keep it, a broken promise is bad for friendship and shows a lack of your own self respect. At least make a good attempt at completing it and ask for forgiveness from your friend and your God. At least you will have done the best that you could.
It is an important trait to know that your friend has faith in your word. The best suggestion for you here is to get control over yourself and your promises. The words that you speak to make a promise to your friend need to command respect. Every promise that you make should receive a commitment from you to fill it. If you make a promise half heartedly then you really do not show respect to your friend and certainly have little respect for yourself. Your promise or a promise from your friend is essentially your word or your friend's word, and if that word is no good, what do you have? A true friend should care enough about you and herself to not break her promise. This lack of character may be a deal breaker.
Just remember that your friends will judge your credibility on how well you keep your word. A broken promise will surely hurt anyone's image and keeping your promise will make you feel good about yourself. For sure it is your choice. And as always you must live well to be well.

Think and act this as follows:

I think. I read. I care. I inform. I coach.
