  when someone says they are going to do it and don't. I almost always do what I say with the exception that something unavoidable has come up or I have genuinely forgotten about it (pretty rare). It irritates the absolute crap out of me when people don't even bother letting you know. I hate being kept waiting, it is the height of rudeness in my opinion. I can't apologise enough even if I am running a little late, I find really embarrassing and like it is a reflection on my abilities. It is another one of those things that really gets you down on a site like this where people just stand you up, can't make it or put other things before you...not the best way to make someone horny by treating them like they don't matter.

  All the way for those who are related to or part of my commitments. But not so proud to say the same for myself such as exercise, study, diet and resting time. Q. how much do you REALLY honour your commitments? * VERY MUCH for commitments that are committed to my family, my friends, my sponsored child, my career, my passion for charity. Q. Are some commitments easier to honour than others? * Yes definitely! E.g. My passion for charity. Charity can be contributed in many forms, and one of my contributions is to become one of Red Cross' regular donors. But it's so damn difficult to not get sick during the cold season. So, my commitment in this regards falls a little off the track in winter. Q. Does honouring commitments give you a greater sense of self-worth? * Yes, but I would rather call it a self-satisfactory and content than self-worth, because I know I am worth it and mean something to my loved ones! :-) - Posted from rhpmobile

  Do I honour my commitments,I hope so....I certainly try to....I also try hard not to over commit,my advice to anyone who wants to volunteer their time is keep it small and manageable.. You can always increase the time but many people in a rush of enthusiasm over commit and then give up......My lack of commitment ATM is to a healthier fitter me xx Q

  obviously sometimes things happen but even then I will ensure that my responsibility to others is covered. commitments to myself - healthy eating and exercise, decent amount of sleep - nowhere near as good at keeping these up. whether it's that I'm just used to covering everyone else's needs first and run out of care factor when it gets to me or it's a deeper self worth thing - who knows. but a committed and dedicated friend/partner/colleague is what I aim for every day.

  The committment word, feeling, emotion.... I am a very committed person when it comes to my hubby kids friends wk exercise.... If anyone needs me I am there for them, I give without wanting anything in return, I listen without telling anything about myself, I love easily, I'm A dedicated fitness freak, give 100% to my work - however once I know my committment is being used or abused - it's withdrawn without a question!

  I do suppose there are levels of commitment. Usually people find it easier to hold a commitment to someone else rather than themselves. Meaning we tend to break promises made to our self about something for our self eg diet, exercise etc. Perhaps those that make the least number of commitments find it easier to keep them?

  One of the last things my dad said to me before I left was "Judge", (he didn't really call me judge..). "Judge". He said, "our name is not very common. Be very aware of that and, when you leave a place, make sure that people remember you for the right reasons". This is a creed that I have taken to heart and it encompasses commitment within its sphere. Now, I know that some of you will know that I am married, and will ask.. "How can he talk about commitment". Well, that story in itself is convoluted and full of unfortunate twists, but suffice is to say that I am committed to my wife's well being, and health (if that raises questions, please message me and I will tell you the story..). That aside, though, commitment, integrity and honour can be woven into a basket that contains friendship, love, respect, patriotism and karma (as well as a plethora of other emotions). If you start to lose any one of the elements that make up the basket (commitment, integrity and honour), your basket gets leaky. The first element to leak out is karma, closely followed by respect, then love. I think that friendship holds in for a while, as true friends will help you repair and rebuild the basket. In answer to your questions, sweetgem, I believe that commitment, and all the trappings that go with it, are fundamental prerequisites to progress through life in a manner that allows people to remember you for the right reasons. ..........Judge............

  I found it interesting that you popped karma into your basket judge,do you mean that when you give up integrity ,honour and commitment that you create negative karma?...!as you are married I am not sure how you reconcile that fact with your basket... unless of course you have an open marriage ....xx Q

  Evening Qefenta, Of course Karma is in my basket. I do not in any way remove myself from the fact that what I am doing is wrong. If karma comes round and bites me in the arse, then I will take that on the chin. I wish I were in an open marriage, but alas, not yet. I would not rule it out in the future, but right now, it is not an option available to me. So I stand by my little basket analogy, understanding fully the repercussions of my actions and willing to take responsibility for them. In a roundabout manner, taking responsibility is part of integrity. That is why I chose my RHP name - you be the judge. If you judge me as being wrong, so be it. If you learn a bit about me, and understand my position you may find the threads of commitment, integrity and honor damaged, but still in tact. Sorry for hijacking your thread lilmiss, apologies. Judge

  That anything is ever black and white. I am sure we have all had situations where we weigh up all the pros and cons and make a decision on what we think is best. There will be some that agree and some that won't. By whose standards are we judged and held accountable ?
