I’m learning that showing up is a big deal. No one likes a flaky, only when it suits me kind of person.
Jesus said, “Let your yes be yes and your no be no.”
I try to only commit to what I can reasonably do. Overcommitting was a major problem in my past and it led to me not being able to do anything all that well.
As much as I love to help people, jamming my schedule full of stuff only meant that there was no way I could actually be of much help.
I think about the requests that come my way now.
Keeping a calendar is the best way I’ve found to keep from overcommitting.
Whatever you need to do to show up when you agreed to show up, do it!
Being faithful in your commitments speaks volumes.
