Do you mean what you say?

I've recently discovered that doing what you say your going to do surprises people. Does anyone else think that is CRAZY? I mean, it's the core of who you are as a person. If you don't follow through then what amount of meaning does anything you say hold? I was always brought up to be honest, forthcoming and to always do what I say I'm going to. In a way, it's shaped me to be a good person, but easily disappointed by a lot of people. I was also raised not to judge, so I continue doing me, and try not to take it to personal. I've learned at the age of 37 to not worry about what anyone else, says or does, just be true to who you are and all else will work out. I can tell you it's an easy way to define your circle people in this life, and so far it's worked out just fine:)
