Businesses rely on contracts and master services agreements to outline their expectations and address potential breaches and unforeseen circumstances.
Not that we need to be so formal, but personal relationships also require vocalizing expectations and concerns to avoid resentment and ensure mutual understanding.
Neil Strauss summarized this perfectly: “Unspoken expectations are premeditated resentments.
Our self-commitments define us and silently shape our identity, revealing our character through actions. We mount evidence about the kind of person we are by simply doing what we promised ourselves we'd do.
Your sense of identity and self-worth are largely made up of your choices and promises when no one is watching. Are you living up to your promises and shaping your identity? Or looking to others to see how it "should" be?
Habits shape our identity. Consistency in actions defines us. Neglecting rituals and routines creates more problems than bad choices, which can often be mitigated.
Your rituals and consistent habits transform desired behavior (who I want to be) into default (who I am).
