Man of your Word

 Man of your Word 

Let's take the phrase, "I love you". If I were to ask young people if when they say that phrase, if they actually mean it. I would assume that I would get a 50% response of yes, and a 50% response of no. Why have we demeaned our own words? In other words, why do our words not mean anything to us?

People who are married know that communication is a vital trait to have when one wants to have a successful marriages. Friendships know that through communication, honesty is also a really important trait to have to have a successful marriage. Why is it though, that when we say we are going to do something, we do not put much thought into it and maybe even not do it in general? Even when it came out of our very own mouths? For example, let's say a friend tells me that he will meet me at Jack in the Box at 7pm. I get there at 6:30pm being really early, and it is 7:20 and my friend has not shown up. Then at 7:30 he texts me that he will not be able to make it after all. How will that make me feel? It would make me feel bad right? It would make me say  "What the heck?" right? It's not right. Don't be that person that is not a man of your word. Don't be that person who says they are going to do something and then not do it after all. First of all, it makes you look like a complete jerk, and ruins your credibility in future events. Now the next time my friend tells me to meet me at McDonald's, I am probably going to make up an excuse not to go unless he gains my trust. If you don't want people to do it to you, don't do it to them. It is better to say no and be direct than to leave a friend hanging. Be a legitimate friend and most of all be honest. If you say you are going to do something, follow through with your word and your actions by doing what you said you would do. Believe me, people will trust you more and your friendship and relationship will mean that much more when someone is a man of their word.
