Promises

What is a promise? An oath that we are or aren't going to do something. How faithful are you to your promises? For years my friends would pick on me because they knew I wouldn't say the word promise unless I was certain I would follow through. That is how serious I take this word. I made a promise on my friends deathbed that I would never drink again and I haven't. If I promise to do something I do it. I take pride in that fact. A promise is an agreement between two people that you are going to follow through on a certain behavior. Promises should not be taken lightly. Your word should be worth its weight in gold. Your word is all you have that is truly yours. If you want to start living your life differently than think about how you use this word promise. My challenge for you today is to make a promise to someone and keep it - see how it makes you feel inside when you follow through on your word.
