Flake

Struggling to keep your commitments? Commitments accrue through “yes”. Yes is such a positive word. It’s a word of relief, hope, vision, momentum, and progress. 

Not much happens without a string of yes’s. 

Our intention behind our “yes” is to move forward, to please, to be seen as a flake. A flake commits with good intention… and falls short when the time comes. Flakes almost never flake with malice in their heart. They flake because they aren't in touch with reality. 

They aren't flaking “at you”. They are just having trouble being honest with themselves. 

They're good people…and their follow-through is gonna be spotty. 

Pro Tip: Love them where they are. Your expectation of them is on you.
