I've got a new friend and it's become very apparent that she is a bit "all over the place". On more than one occasion she has said one thing only to end up doing something completely different. And I've had others in my life do the same thing. The frustration I feel over it has instilled in me a growing importance of my words. If a person can not trust an agreement that was made, no matter how big or small that agreement is, life can easily get chaotic.
dictum meum pactum - it means "the words that I utter are my bond”.
.....utter with honesty.
Your "word" is a bond created sometimes all to easily
but others should be content to depend on them.
If you say you're going to be there - then be there.
If you don't know - then simply reveal your ignorance honestly.
With your words, you train others to either trust you, or distrust you.
A great relationship is based on two things: first, find out the similarities; second, respect the differences.

Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.
