promise only what you can deliver

Service industry has an excellent rule that they apply, “ never over promise and under deliver”, they are many more rules that we apply to our professional lives but they do apply to our personal lives as well. For one thing that never changes is that we are always dealing with human’s and they are blessed with emotions. Professionally we learn to respect them better than we do in personal lives. We are better guided and want to have control over situations because we understand that miss handling of emotions might lead into bigger losses in life, we understand it better because our brain is trained to understand immediate materialistic loss and that is what is taught to us professionally. The day we learn to apply our rules, studies, the logics taught to us during classes we would understand that life is nothing but the right combination of logics and sensible reasoning of emotions.

Come what may always promise only what you can deliver and say as much that you don’t have to eat your words later. Life stops for nothing, be it emotions or logics, we suffer the biggest of loses and learn to move on, the one who is not afraid of failing or falling learns the most and lives life truly. The ones who find excuses for playing safe often restricts themselves to comfort zones and mostly earn only regrets for life. Before making promise to anyone else make a promise to yourself that you would keep yourself happy that you would not let your dreams break down, that no matter what you would give all your wishes the best shot and not say die until your last breath, every moment that passes by has a very strong message, with every breath you intake you have reduced one from your account of life and with every moment you spend in life you have added one memory, one smile, one happiness or one regret? Choice was and will always be yours. All excuses are just to give yourself false satisfaction and not having the courage to fight for what you promised to yourself or others.  When you give excuses to others for not fulfilling promises, remember you are just adding one more excuse to not live life the way you truly wanted too.
