How Life Changes When You Do What You Say You’ll Do
You feel more in control
Leaving your “options open” and never fully committing to anything can seem like a way of keeping control of your life, but it quickly makes you feel like you’re out of control. It can wind up feeling like everyone else has control over your life. If somebody else has the whim to call you up and ask if you want to go somewhere and do something, even if you already had plans, you’d consider it, and then you’d feel conflicted. You leave yourself open to many conflicted moments, and to allow the actions of others to dictate your life, when you aren’t reliable. When you say, “I know I will be doing this thing at this time, regardless of what other offers come in,” you feel in control.
