A Promise

I took this last winter. I often see these two geese walking together. They have made a promise.

A promise is something we often make to someone else.We then work on keeping this promise over time. What we often forget is that the most important promise one can make is a promise to yourself. A promise to yourself is often the first promise broken. But if the same effort is taken either promise can be kept.If your going to make commitments to others you must first make and keep commitments to yourself. In order for the promise to have value you must first value yourself. It's not the least bit selfish to have a commitment to yourself. Without this you will have little value to others.Today think of a promise you can make to yourself and then work towards keeping it.Choose a promise for yourself and make a plan to follow through. Perhaps it will be an exercise or diet routine. Perhaps just being honest with yourself of who you are and where you want to be.Once you succeed you will have great value in your life and will have no problems passing it along to others with commitment and dedication.No matter how far you have come there is always new ground to cover.Commit today to moving to higher ground.Today is the day to make yourself A Promise.Don't forget to love always,forgive quickly and smile along the way.

God Bless
