We overlook how much damage a broken promise causes.
When you don’t follow through, you’re not just letting someone down — you’re teaching your brain that your word doesn’t matter.
The brain doesn’t separate promises to others from promises to yourself.
So each time you say “I’ll do it” and don’t, your mind learns that your commitments are optional. That’s how unreliability becomes a habit and a reputation.
The solution is simple: only say what you intend to do, and follow through.
Small, consistent actions rebuild trust — internally and externally.
When your word matters again, everything improves.
