A promise...is a promise. Rest assure that your word has value until you show me otherwise. Most of us have positive intent on doing the right thing, most of the time. I believe in that. Keeping your word can be a difficult thing because nothing worthwhile comes easy. It takes will power, strength of character, determination, desire and integrity. If what you're striving for is truly what you want, there will be no issues in achieving this. Desire is very powerful and a driving force in us, as human beings to accomplish almost anything and most everything. So why are promises constantly broken? As time evolves, so do we. So it's only natural that our priorities and desires change with that. Naturally our first reaction may be to avoid being honest and upfront with those we care for, because you may not want to hurt them. Confrontation is not an enjoyable situation but again, nothing worthwhile is. Meaning...if it is best for you to move on and forward than you must do what you have to do, to make it happen. If you approach the situation straightforward, it will be understood by others even at the cost of causing them pain. We all deserve to hear it directly and in a timely manner, because both parties are impacted...the one making the choice and the one the choice affects. And...together, come to an agreeable understanding and/or game plan to possibly keep commitments or alternate solutions. Think twice before making commitments, you know in your heart and mind you really can't keep.
A promise...
Is your word...
Is your intent...
Is a Promise...
