Promises!!!!!

Promises are meant to be broken!!! Does it ring a bell??? Yes, it is an old saying and we take it very seriously and follow it pretty religiously. Each time we were pulled up by our parents for doing something wrong, we used to say “God Promise, won’t do it again” and would do the same thing repeatedly consoling ourselves by thinking God is generous and will not punish us. Time keeps flying and we only keep promising and keep breaking. Teachers, Parents, Siblings, Friends, Partners and above all ourselves. Such is life!!!!!

False or incomplete promises to others are fine but is being unjust to oneself the best of the traits to have? I Promise I will wake up every morning at 6 and go for a run, I Promise I will never be rude to mother, I Promise I will give time to my family and the list is endlessly endless. Sounds familiar? The biggest damage is not when you fool others but the biggest damage is when you fool yourself. Sticking to one’s promises shows strength of character and the ability to go all the way. Builds credibility which is the essence of one’s personality. The next time you promise something, fulfill it and you will feel the joy and satisfaction of achieving something which you had promised. It is a supreme feeling. Not only will people respect and admire you but you will admire yourself (in case you do not till this time!!).

Keep the promise, earn the faith.

I promise not to make any promise……unless I will keep it!!!!!!
