Are you dependable? Are you there when your friends or family need you? I hope you answered yes to these two questions. Dependability is a large part of life that affects many people besides yourself.
What would you do if you went to an emergency room and everyone had called in sick for the day? You would be in dire shape or die before the day was over. It would be best if you were accountable to yourself and others. Accountability starts with you, and your actions speak volumes about you.
If you are not dependable on a job, you will get fired, and your chances of finding another good job will be slim to none. You cannot show up at an appointment whenever you feel like it. Restaurants need servers, cooks, etc., to run a restaurant successfully, and people will want to return to them shortly. If everyone just worked on the days they felt like working, our economy would go into a tailspin. Dependable people must keep things moving and flowing in the business world and life in general.
When I go to a store they are supposed to be open at 8 AM, they better be available, or I will never return to that store again. I don’t like waiting for people as they steal precious hours from my life. Life is too short to wait for someone who is never on time or dependable. There is no excuse for being late unless an unforeseen circumstance arises.
Dependability is not what it used to be. It would be best if you treated other people like you want to be treated. I am sure you do not like to wait for people, so why should people wait for you? Have respect and accountability for your actions and if you are late for unforeseen circumstances, apologize and explain what made you late.
Be dependable and accountable to God, your boss, family, and friends, as this will take you far.
