Be aware of what you
say you will do.
And then do that thing
with a robustness that
makes sense to you
and would make sense
to anyone that you would
bother to explain it to;
your intentions to do this
thing right and well.

The trick is not to explain
it to anyone at all,
to just do it;
first this thing,
then that one,
then the next one
until you get in the habit
of doing the literal best
you are able in all tasks
that you endeavor upon.

Treat your daily
with a reverence
that you would a child
that you love or an
elder that you’ve respected
in this life  and would
undoubtedly give your
best efforts
on the behalf of.

Soon enough
you will become
a beacon
for those
whom you
interact with.

And it,
this forthrightness,
will become
the
(much needed)
norm for
the whole
of the
human
race.
