Importance Of Keeping Promises When Rebuilding Trust

Promises made must be kept when trying to rebuild trust.

Breaking a promise while trying to rebuild trust can bring back of all of the old feelings of betrayal, anger, and disappointment.

In fact, breaking a promise while trying to rebuild trust can do even more damage than the original transgression. Breaking a promise at this time shows that even when on your best behavior you cannot keep your word - you cannot be trusted.

If you break a promise, the whole process has to start again and it will take a lot more time to fix.

When trying to rebuild trust - it is best to under-promise and over-deliver.
