Good Health and Our Mission

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Our body is God’s temple

We must take care of it and not abuse

With too much food, drink and everything

No exercise to get rid of toxins

In our body they accumulate

To make us sick

  

Message for Nov. 28, 2011.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Take care of yourself, your body which is My temple. Your health is very important  for you to carry out the mission that you have to do.  Do not abuse your body with lack of sleep, lack of physical exercise and eating the wrong kind of foods.

Your nourishment should be appropriate for your body’s optimum performance. Live in moderation from drinks, food, sex and exercise.  Too much of anything will affect the balance and harmony of your system. Listen to it, be aware of the changes and seek medical attention when you notice that something is off-key or unnatural.  Don’t wait for so long and self-medicate, because you are not an expert.

Seek the help of those who are knowledgeable to check your health, don’t listen and follow the medication given to another, because your system is different.  What worked out for someone, might be detrimental to you. Go  to the experts and pray that they will be enlightened  and guided to diagnose and give the right/appropriate medication and medical treatment for you. 

Sunday Lies

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Tired to go to church I lied to Thee

Feigning sickness though just lazy

In my heart  the lie was heavy

Knowing you, Lord know the real story

Message for Nov. 27, 2011

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Sometimes, you can’t attend Sunday worship for a reason, then, let it be. Let the reason be for Myself alone and you will know it when you’re here, when its time to account for things in your life. Your reluctance and excuses in failing to attend the  Sunday Holy Mass are all known to Me, nothing is hidden from My sight.

So, stop fooling yourself most especially Me. If you can’t attend Holy Mass, then say it outright, don’t look for excuses.  It is better to be honest than to fabricate lies. 

Commitment and Flowing Water

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Like how water flows

Around the obstacles in its path

Commitment should be done

To fulfill a promise no matter what

Message for Nov. 26, 2011.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Contracts are written agreements that bind parties to a commitment. Each party should do their best to fulfill the promise they pledged to  do, no matter the obstacles they might run into. Like flowing water, you must learn to seek your path even if your original route is already covered with boulders,  garbage or fallen trees.

Water can not be stopped from it’s course, it finds a way to continuously flow until it reaches its final destination, where it originally comes from, the sea.  I am not talking here about stagnant waters in canals, I am referring to the water coming from the mountains when it rains and flow to the lowlands. 

Water seeks a lower gradient, so it can flow unimpeded. So must you, for you to grow unhampered, it is wise to humble yourself, because when you seek the lower gradient it is easier to flow naturally.

Forgiving Friends

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Friends boost us up when we are down

The shoulder to cry on when nothing seems right at all

Friendship is not a bed of roses though

Misunderstanding pricks at the love that was sown

Don’t let the thorns of disagreement break the bond

Forgive and forget

That’s how true friendship are formed

Message for Nov. 25, 2011.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is good to have friends  because they will serve as your support system when you are down. Don’t lose your  friends because of a little misunderstanding, try to bridge the gap as soon as you can, so that your disagreement will be resolved.

Don’t let days,  months or years pass by without making an effort to make peace with anyone, especially your long time friends. Be the first to make a move, so that it won’t bother your conscience if something bad will happen that will prevent you from asking or giving forgiveness.

The True Confession

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Confession without repentance

Is like lying through your teeth

Not meaning a word

So insincere, you sin

All over again

  

Message for Nov. 24, 2011.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Confession of one’s guilt unloads the weight of sin and makes your life brighter and open to new forgiveness and blessings.  Don’t hide your sins because I can see it, no matter what you do. Confess it at once, so you won’t sin no more, and I mean repent from your sins, not just confessing about it.

Confession without repentance will never work,  you will just sin once again.  Make a confession not out of duty but in your sincere desire to make it right with me, to establish connection once again.  Confession without repentance is like someone who wants to quit smoking, but is still holding a cigarette in their hands.  Unlighted, yes, but the temptation is still close at hand  which signifies they are still reluctant to abandon their vice.

The Heart and The Mouth

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

The mouth speaks from the

Fullness of the heart

Let my heart be always filled with love

For words of love

To fill my speech

Message for Nov. 23, 2011.

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The blackness of someone’s heart is manifested through their words and actions, for whatever comes out from the mouth comes from the fullness of the heart. 

Take care of your hearts that it will not be blackened by sin, watch your thoughts because it will implant what will take root in your heart.

Fill your thoughts with good and positive things always. Don’t allow sin  to stay long to germinate and take root in your heart.  The longer it is entrenched  there, it will one day affect your life and others.

Praying for Our Dreams

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Follow your dreams

With God to show you where to go

Don’t rush to fulfill them alone

Into a trap you just might fall

Message for Nov. 22, 2011.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Don’t be in a hurry to accomplish your dreams. There is a time and a season for everything.  Avoid rushing in to pitfalls that you might just regret later. 

Learn to wait for the right opportunity and while waiting, pray that you will have the wisdom to recognize the chance that is meant for you.

Pretending to be Someone Else

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Pretending to be who I am not

I’d rather not be caught in the act

For in time the lie will catch up

My words they would no longer believe

No matter what I do to rectify the wrong

I’ve  lost  my credibility

Message for Nov. 21, 2011.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Do not pretend to be someone else and claim the works of others as your own. In time, you will be caught  of your subterfuge and will lose credibility.  What is wrong in accepting that you don’t have the ability to do something?

Don’t be a fraud and become dishonest. Do not abuse the trust and confidence that was shown to you by another person.  Be yourself, be honest, be brave to accept who you are and learn to improve what needs to be improved of yourself.

Acceptance of your own identity and your own talents will lead to further growth and self-improvement rather than pretending to be someone else.

Serving Two Masters

Grace, mercy and peace with you.

Two masters I can not keep

Between the world and the Lord

The Lord I must select

For He gave me life to live

The world will take away my life

Apart from Him who gave me breath

 Message for Nov. 20, 2011.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

The trouble with serving so many masters, is that you will hate one and love another.  Who is your master,  Me or the world? The world requires you to pursue jobs to pay for your lifestyle. Me, I give you the strength and the grace to be able to live in this world.

What  is more important then, the world and its pleasures or the source of your strength?  Serve me well and you will control the world and be master of your self. Do not allow yourself to be ruled by the world and forget Me.  Always make Me your priority no matter what!

Masks and Facades

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Masks cover the real me

That I’m afraid to show

They keep away the hurt I’d feel

If I let them see how vulnerable I can be

Message for Nov. 19, 2011

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

Facades, people show false facades so that they won’t get hurt. It is a defense mechanism to put off someone from getting too near their basic character.  Sometimes, a person has several facades to suit the occasion and the persons they are with. 

It serves so many purpose,  but mainly to protect one self. It would be fun to get to know somebody who protects themselves with several facades, it would be like peeling an onion, layer by layer.  Occasionally, you get tears in your eyes as they are getting peeled because it will show their vulnerability and it is a pity to see an exposed person totally bared of their defenses.

Be yourself, don’t cover your true self with so many false coatings because of pride. Pride is usually the reason why someone hides themselves in protective wall defenses.

Spiritual Journey

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

I journey inward to know myself

And connect with my inner self

Then I journey on to seek the Light

Peace and love filled me from within

Message for Nov. 18, 2011

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Spirituality is a journey inwards, to the core of your being first then you connect with the Higher Being. Oftentimes, the journey inwards is blocked by your prejudices, doubts, fears and time. You can’t hurry your journey, sometimes a person has so many lifetime within themselves and there are things to unravel that might not be pleasant.

For your journey to become successful, you have to consciously and regularly set up a time for your meditation time. Do it regularly, not necessarily the same hour each  day, although permanency would help, but at least everyday you do it. Then, you will be on a journey towards self discovery that you will not regret.

Showing Love

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Love is shown by  deeds

Not by letters, thoughts and words alone

How will it be known

If you hide it in your heart afraid of being spurned

Show your love to everyone

Be not afraid to love

For the more you love,

It will come back

Loving you even more

 Message for Nov. 17, 2011

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Cleansing yourself and the whole humanity can be done by practicing loving kindness to everyone. Yes, there are mantras that are said to be powerful, but can there be more powerful than this? Even if you religiously say your mantra, but not practice loving kindness to your brethren, then it will not be as powerful.

Action speaks  louder than words. You have to show your care for everyone, make it visible, make it tactile. Just do it, not think or write about it. It is  a sin of omission if you fail to show someone you care for them.

Forgiveness

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

I’m sorry is hard to say

But harder to let it stay

In your heart it will corrode

Love and peace your soul can’t hold

Message for Nov. 16, 2011.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Forgiveness is a healing process for you and the person who hurt you. Haven’t you noticed that if you forgive, a load seems to be lifted off your chest?  The heavy feeling lodged in your heart, will constrict your blood stream the longer it stays there, so let go of any grievance, let peace flow throughout your system and let healing take place in your soul.

Waiting for the Storm to Pass

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

I walked into a  storm

And struggled for control

Tossed about and lost my grip

Fell on my face engulfed with grief

Oh, Lord,” Help me,” I cried out brokenly

In my own hands I tried to grapple

The tempest that buffeted me

Beaten down to surrender

My strength

Is nothing compared to Thee

Message for Nov. 15, 2011.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Be patient, don’t rush headlong into things you might just regret later.  Remember, patience is a virtue. So wait it out until the storm calms down.  When there is a tempest in your life, come,  sit down and pray and believe that I AM there in the middle of the storm looking out for you, shielding you from harm. 

Wait it out for the storm to pass  and do things you have neglected to do, especially  your prayer time.  Being patient under My care is surrendering and submitting yourself to My power.  Rest in My power then and be secure that I will always be here to protect  and provide for you at all times, even if you have forgotten Me or been led astray, I am constantly by your side. 

The Fingerprints of God

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

The existence of God is everywhere

No need for fingerprints to prove

His presence, for we are

The evidence of His creation

Message for Nov. 14, 2011.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Fibonacci numbers, says they are the fingerprint of God, yes,  My fingerprints are all over My creation, yet scientists just want to prove My existence through facts and numbers and whatever is necessary to convince them that I AM made this  and that. 

They want to quantify what  is not quantifiable. They want to explain My existence in terms that they understand, put me in a box of their hypothesis and logic.  What if they can’t find something that will put Me in a box?  Will  it mean, I don’t exist?  Fools, they only have to wonder about themselves, and see My fingerprints all over their body. 

What is so simple and glaring, they just complicate with numbers, scientific data, statistics, probabilities, whatever they can think of.  Poor souls, how they toil for nothing. Their existence alone prove that I exist! 

Man and Nature

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

With man’s dream of civilization  

Nature  and its beauty

Were pushed out of man’s realm

To create his dream of concrete jungles

Instead of green foliaged trees

Message for Nov. 13, 2011.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sundays, again, I am stressing the importance of this day to Me, not  only by attending Holy Mass but in the offering the entire day to Me.  Even if you do something else on this day, consecrate them to Me because this day is holy.  Spend the day working on your different chores but offer it to Me and you will be blessed for doing so. 

Modern times have made man so busy, chasing after time in search of money to be able to afford pleasures, costly pleasures.  Gone are the days, when people find it a pleasure to have time on their own, contemplating on My words,  seating alone in the park or just outside their homes to appreciate the beauty of their surroundings. 

Gone are those times, nature has been stripped of its beauty and has receded to far away places, it has no room for modern man and modern civilization.  Nature is only to be enjoyed in distant, requiring money to be able to get there.  And man is falling into the trap of scheming businessmen. 

What a shame and what a pity! I made nature to be enjoyed for free by everyone, but now to enjoy them, man have to pay the price for the profit of unscrupulous men. How dare they do this for business and they don’t even give something back to Me.  They will be held accountable for this, when the time comes for them  to appear before Me. 

Prayers and Affirmations

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Daily prayers

Are daily affirmations

Of what we are asking for

Believe that it will be given

And it will be so

Message for Nov. 12,  2011.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Affirmations are your daily prayers. Persevere in your prayers and you are doing the affirmations that you read in books.  Affirmations need not be really fancy  and so should prayers. The simpler they are, the better. 

When you ask, believe that it will be granted to you because it will indeed be given. Just make sure that what you are asking for is free from selfish motives  and evil intentions.  Your  intentions must be pure and the consequences of you receiving it should not be harmful to you or anyone else.  That is why it is necessary to end your prayers  with, “Your will be done, Lord, not mine,” because you don’t really know the consequences of your prayers if it will be granted to you, so you are leaving it to Me, who can see through eternity. 

Difference Between Love and Romance

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Oh, to be loved

And cherished beyond time

Even after beauty fades,

The memory becomes vague

And the body sags with age

Message for Nov. 11, 2011.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Love and romance, how it tickles your fantasy and emotions.  Romance is often what is foremost in every person’s mind when they are searching for their partners. They look for someone that pleases their eyes, can get along with moderation and most important stirs the passion in their bodies. 

With these few and frivolous criteria, is it any wonder why there are so many broken homes, broken hearted individuals, and single parents with unwanted pregnancies?  They are just out seeking for the thrill of being romanced, not seriously looking for love and they do it the wrong way, for the wrong reasons.  Love is very different from romance, although romance is  present when true love exist between two persons because it  becomes a part of their loving.

Romance, per se is fleeting, it fades when the want to conquer someone who caught their  fancy is over and their  want is fulfilled and satisfied.  Love meanwhile, is unselfish, unconditional  and forever.

The Essence of Our Life

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

What is life without time?

When the essence of our existence stops

So do we

Message for Nov. 10, 2011.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Coming here to sit with Me despite your busy schedule, pleases Me so much, because it means you truly care and love Me.  Taking time out to specifically be with someone is one sign that you love that person.

Life is all about  time, that is why time is very important because it is fleeting.  For someone to give a part of  their  life to another person, it  signifies how much that person means to them, and that gift of time should be duly appreciated and cherished because a part of themselves have been given and it  cannot be taken back. 

Lost time is irreplaceable and cannot be returned, therefore time is the most valuable gift to give to the person you love. Unfortunately, it is the most unappreciated and neglected gift, because it doesn’t  come with a price tag and has no brand to speak of. 

The wise or enlightened person however, realizes the value of time and holds  the gift of time  close to their heart and value their  time together as a great treasure for the sheer thought that it might be their last. 

Unexpected Hold Ups in Our Time

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Delays, not all of them

 are  meant to hold us back

 from pursuing our dreams

Some hold us back

so we can live on

and accomplish them

Message for Nov. 9, 2011.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are times that circumstances intervene to put a stop  or block something that will cause you harm. Do not get angry, blame someone,  or curse, because it may be a blessing in disguise for you.

Just pray and leave it all to Me to unravel the mystery,  and  in time, you will come to know and realize why you were delayed and the reason for it.

The Trap

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Lord, I pray

Keep me from harm’s way

May I not be fooled by my eyes

And human standards

To fall into an innocuous trap

Message for  Nov. 8, 2011.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

The devil’s trap is something so nice and innocent looking, you wouldn’t suspect it for what it truly is. Usually, the evil one sends attractive persons to pose as himself, very seldom does he send out ugly people because no one would follow that person.

It is the smooth talkers that convince people easily  to their side that you should be wary of.  Of course, not everyone who has the gift of gab are evil, they are spread among the many unobtrusively.  Be careful then with the people that come across your path, for not all good looking, pleasant and intelligent ones are Mine.

Letting Go of the Past

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Forget the past and all it’s tears

The tears won’t go back to your eyes

And remain unshed

Learn from the lesson it gave

Don’t let the past bring you to your grave

Message for Nov. 7, 2011.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Forget your past that had caused you great pain and the people or persons who caused it. There is nothing you can do to change it or prevent it from happening.

Accept it as a learning experience, pick up the lesson you learned from it and throw the key away, don’t let it smolder inside your heart.  Let it go and live your present well  to avoid making the same mistakes you made in the past.

God's Healing

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Lord, You are my healer

I entrust to you my health

And the wisdom to guide

Your instruments that they

May give me appropriate care

Message for Nov. 6, 2011.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you are sick, seek medical treatment immediately. Although I am your Healer, you may not be responsive to what I want you to do.  So, go to the doctor and pray that they will be guided by the Holy Spirit to correctly diagnose and give the proper medication for what is ailing you. 

Yes, you can always pray to Me for healing, but there are instances that the disease have aggravated and it needs proper medical treatment.  Do not misunderstand faith healing with mindless surrender to My will. No, in faith healing, you pray and have faith that the instruments God will use for your medication and treatment will be guided and enlightened to give you proper care. 

Do not isolate yourself from the right persons to help you because of your stubborn mentality that you will get healed on your own through your faith and prayer. There are illnesses that are easily healed with prayer but there are diseases that needs surgery or other medical procedures for complete healing.

Not Only Our Prayers

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Our blessings are not

Answers to our  prayers alone

They are also from friends

Who pray for us

And our intentions

Message for Nov.  5, 2011.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Graces that you received are not merely your answered prayers, they are also the result of others praying for you, your petitions or intentions. When you pray for each other, the grace you are most in need of, is given to everyone who needs it.

It is important that you have a community, because group prayer is very powerful, not only because of there will be many praying for you, but  of the  pureness of intentions, most especially if the members are all in the state of grace. There are also intentions in group prayers that are not answered the way they want it because it is NOT according to My will. 

Like in individual prayer, group prayers should be ended with, “Your will be done, not mine,” because it is only up to Me, how your prayers and intentions will be answered.

The Season of Our Dreams

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Dreams and seasons

They all have reasons

For you and me to consider

What is there in life

What are we after?

Message for Nov. 4, 2011.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are again talking about dreams. What will you do if the grass that you thought that was green somewhere else  was actually not green but brown?  Will you hurriedly turn and walk away disappointed? 

Sometimes, when searching for  an opportunity, you see it when it was promising or at the peak of its time. But like life or the cycle of the earth, there will also come a time that it will not be as promising, it is going through a phase.  Don’t despair and leave, wait it out for another cycle and see what will happen.

There are four seasons, you have to experience the whole range of the seasons for you to admire the beauty and relevance of each to each other.  If you come into your dream  during its winter stage, surely it won’t be as promising as you once thought it would be.  Wait around for spring and see the promise of new beginnings, then why not stay till summer and see the fruits of springtime’s toil? Fall is the changing of  colors preparing for winter’s rest.

Don’t view life and opportunities through one season alone, view and live it for the whole season that it has, so you will know if your dreams are really there or not. If not, then it is time for you to move on…

A Moment to Pray Each Day

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

A sincere prayer I pray

May each day I’ll have time for Thee

Even for a few minutes

May I not forget

Without You,

my day I might regret

Message for Nov. 3, 2011

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Persevere in your prayers, meaning you don’t allow a day without spending  time with your  God. You don’t have to pray long novenas or litanies, a simple prayer that comes from your heart is enough.  A sincere prayer is most often answered readily than memorized prayers that  are automatically prayed. 

Too often  memorized prayers are said only through the lips while the mind wanders, they are just mechanical movement of the lips, like a parrot imitating the words of its master. Daily, offer Me your prayers, give time to our time, don’t forget it in the busyness of your day.

Being Lazy is Wasting Time

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Laziness is wasting precious time

that swiftly goes by

Waiting for no one

Stopping for none

Message for Nov. 2, 2011

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Laziness comes in many ways. It’s either you don’t do things that you are assigned to do by doing something else; you do it but in such a manner that it is much better that you didn’t do it because it was only a waste of time or you don’t do anything at all, waiting for the day to end doing nothing. 

To what category do you belong? Time is precious, make every moment count, because you don’t know if the next second is still yours.  

Follow the Lord's Dream

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

My dreams may it coincide

 with yours, Lord

May Your will, not mine

Always prevail in my life

Message for Nov. 1, 2011.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dreams, all of you have dreams. Some, get what they want, but others don’t. Why? Lack of faith and lack of belief in themselves.  For you to achieve your dreams, see to it that they are aligned to what I want for you. 

It  is useless to go after dreams that will take you away from the path I have laid out for you, because you will be like chasing a rainbow’s end, where the pot of gold vanish even before you get to it.

Follow your dreams, follow My will and you will get your heart’s desire.

Humility in the Workplace

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Humility is accepting what you lack in the eyes of others.

Message for Oct. 31, 2011.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Working for others requires humility and sometimes having to be humiliated. Being humiliated is becoming humble, in the sense that what you think of yourself is torn down because of what your employers expect of you.  Don’t be too sure with what you know and what you have because there is still a lot to learn. 

Be humble in accepting that. Be open to constructive criticism, learn how to do better and excel in your work. Don’t carry a grudge in your heart against anyone who corrected you, because it will create tension in the work place. Be humble and learn even if you have to be humiliated in the process.  Move on and use the experience to spur you to become better.

Birthday Thanksgiving

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Imperfect though I may be

On my birthday I give thanks to Thee

Rejoicing for the life you’ve given

Grateful  for  sins you have forgiven

Message for Oct. 30, 2011.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Birthdays commemorate your birth and should be celebrated in thanksgiving to Me who made you whole and perfect.  But, even if you are not, it is also a cause for rejoicing because you were made for a purpose.  Don’t think that those who were born imperfect in this world don’t have a purpose in life. It may be not them, but others for them. Life is like this, either you are the one helping others or you are the one being helped.

In each role, there is interaction, a brotherhood, a link that will make you help each other. Therefore, if your role is the one to help, accept it graciously because you were born whole and perfect.  However, those who were born imperfect or abnormal should not be rejected or looked  down. The more that they should be loved, because through them, you will learn love,  humility and graciousness.

These special children are angels sent down to you, for all of you, so you will not become so proud and know there is someone greater than you that can make people as He wills it. Parents are just instruments, I am the one who makes the child grow and become whole or not.  Rejoice then at your birthdays, give thanks and help a special child who is not as fortunate as you in the eyes of humans.

Laws or Love?

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

What  good will it give

If the laws that you serve

Hurt others instead of help?

Message for Oct. 29, 2011.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

My people in Israel in their pride that they were My chosen people have hardened their hearts because of the laws given to them, not realizing that some of these laws are causing grief to others. Being Christians, don’t mean you are to become literal follower of laws, it is  love that guides you to do what is right and gracious in My eyes.

What good will a law abiding citizen give to its neighbor  when their heart is not moved with compassion for those who have less than what they have? Who are being oppressed by the laws you so passionately believe in?

The laws and norms of society were instilled to sow order in a community that was once turbulent. Now, in times of peace, don’t be too rigid in the implementation of these ancient laws, especially those that set people apart.  You are all brothers and sisters, My children, let love and peace reign in your hearts.

Doing What You Promised

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Fulfilling a promise is being credible - Mariter

Message for Oct. 28, 2011.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Delays can be a bother to those who are expecting you to do your assigned tasks. When you promise, see to it that you can do what you promised to do on time, so that the other party will not rely on you and keep waiting for nothing.

Say, “Yes” when you mean, “Yes” and “No”, when you mean, “No.”
