Why I Am Not Reliable
I am not a reliable person. I would like to be a reliable person but the one thing that gets in the way is how unreliable I am. I know that I have good intentions and that I want to be known as somebody who can get the job done, but I am not. I have a bad tendency to be lazy or slack off. I have a nasty habit of neglecting the jobs I am given. When somebody asks me to do something, I always say yes, but saying yes is only half of the fight. The other half is where I fall short. Where I let up at the first sign of a problem and give in to my desire to do nothing. I am pulled away from my responsibilities and taken hostage by the temptations of TV, sleep, and video games. I want people to have faith in my drive and my ability, but I just don’t know that it’s there.
