It is not uncommon for us to give instructions or input with the best intentions yet leave the other person feeling disconnected, undervalued, and disappointed.
Have you ever told someone you will do it right now or that it will be completed soon, only to end up preoccupied with other tasks and activities, ignoring your promise? It may seem trivial and immaterial to you, but it is far more to them.
The person to whom you have neglected your commitment is more than the action itself, and your failure to keep your promise reflects your character and the importance you place on your relationship with them.
It may seem unimportant, but would you not want to be known as reliable and caring? It may be as simple as making small commitments to keep, and even more so, when you do not possess it, apologize for the delay and follow through.
Those promises become you and are the foundation of your relationships with family, friends, colleagues, and acquaintances.
