When I first started to train as a Dom these are the words Sir James started with. He explained to me that this is the rule I must start to live by if I say it I must do it how else is my potential sub going to respect my word if I don't keep it. There is nothing worse then starting something and not finishing it. It screams of some one who only pays lip service to his sub and as long as she only pays lip service it will be alright after all if I don't finish why should they.
But sir what if I start something and find I can't complete it? He simply smiled and said if you can't finish then get someone who can but it is your responsibility to do what you said you would no one else. You see John don't make a law you can't live with. Tomorrow I will talk listen learn and instate.
