From Inside Every Woman by Vickie L. Milazzo:
Engage 100 percent. If you're an employee, put 100 percent effort into every job. As a friend, put 100 percent into your friendship. Cut back on commitments and people to whom you're not willing to give 100 percent.
Eliminate excuses. Do whatever it takes to live up to your word. It's easier to keep promises you really want to make, so avoid committing too quickly and don't overcommit.
Admit when you're wrong. This increases trust, elevates credibility and strengthens the relationship.
Avoid mean and hurtful communication. Communicating with kindness always results in more positive impact.
Forgive your own transgressions. Just because we have a breach in integrity doesn't mean we're not allowed to move forward.
