The Art of Follow Through

It's truly a lost art: the art of follow through.

The art of actually doing what you say you're going to do.

Imagine a place where everyone does exactly what they say. No broken promises, no flakey flakes, and no lies. I can't really imagine it. Can you?

We live in a time and place where somehow you are much hipper if you say you are going to do something, and then perhaps those around you are unsure as to whether or not you are going to follow through. They are left to wonder, and that makes you mysterious, thus taking up space in their minds. When you are dependable, doing what you say you will do, people have no need to worry about you. There is certainty. Today certainty often equates to boredom.

But what if we envision a place where certainty was valorous? Knowing that what a person says and does would not a mystery, but a perfect match. Two things that undeniably went hand in hand.

A lost art.
