If you don’t, not only does it reflect your lack of integrity, but it can be a great disappointment to those who relied upon you. “Your word is your bond” are five words that stretch far when you do what you said and farther when you don’t! The words can bring joy or disappointment. The joy is uplifting. The disappointment can be heartbreaking. I know!
