The Power of Keeping Your Word

"People with good intentions make promises but people with good character keep them."

My father and Shihan (master) always told to keep my promises.

As a lifelong martial artist my Sensei (trainer) and father always told me to keep my promises. He told me that if you say something, then you do it. Always honor your word. That is why my word is very important to me because I want to be a person with character and integrity. 

Unfortunately nowadays a lot of people talk a lot and do nothing. Let me tell you one example  from my own life that I would like to share with you.

A few months ago I arranged a Boot Camp. Ten people voluntarily signed up to join. Do you know how many people that showed up? 1. Only one person of ten showed up to something that they voluntarily said that they wanted to do, no one forced them.

Isn't that strange you think? How can you expect great results, great friendships, great relationships and a great life if you can't even keep a promise?

How is it for you? How important is your word? Do you keep promises to friends, family, partners, customers and most importantly to yourself?

Today I will give you a few reasons as two why you should start acting like a true martial artist and start keeping your word. When you do, you will start noticing how your life will change. You will feel better and start to get a lot better results in life.

Why You Should Start Keeping Your Word

• Self Worth - A person that keeps his/her word is a person with self worth that actually knows how important it is to keep his/her word.
• You Get What You Give - In life, you can never expect to get something more (or less) than what you give. The better person you are, the better people you will attract. 
• It Feels Good - There is no better feeling than the feeling of being a person someone can count on. Imagine if your wife or husband never kept their word? Is that a life to live? Don't you want to keep the promises you have to your son or daughter?

Last but not least:

• It Gives You Great Results - My job is to study successful people. I have studied thousands of businessmen, athletes, parents etc. that are successful. Do you know what all of them have in common? They all do what they say that they are going to do.

Don't just talk the talk, instead walk the walk.
