Are promises made to be broken?

The promise is something we give someone as an assurance that we are willing to do something or not to do something for us or them. In other words, a promise is a commitment by someone to do or not do something. As a noun promise means a declaration assuring that one will or will not do something. As a verb, it means to commit oneself by a promise to do or give. It can also mean a capacity for good, similar to a value that is to be realized in the near future.

A promise can go a long way in personal relationships. It is a commitment to follow through on your word. … Studies suggest that keeping promises holds a lot of emotional value and when we break them, there is a decline of trust.

When we understand that promise is nothing but a commitment. You will understand the importance of having a important responsibility towards making it your pillar of strength. When promises are kept with that comes

• trust
• respect
• reliability.

Now when we understand what’s a promise the next question is have you kept up to your promises??

💚Yes
💚No
💚Maybe

Let’s look at it if your answer was NO or Maybe, it does look like one can be in a spot as after giving your promise for something you have decided not show up or deliver whatever you have been asked to do.

How does this showcase you for the future?

• can you be trusted?
• there can be resistance towards accepting
• looking at the person with a doubt of whether they will keep up to what’s being said
• once bitten twice shy attitude
• setting boundaries and keeping distance

No matter how tough life gets when certain commitments have been given out as a promise it’s always good to keep it and also respect the commitment given. Be it to ourselves or others it does showcase us as we are being inconsistent with our thoughts and acts. It could also show us being scattered with our thoughts and acts.

There are two aspects here when a commitment is given with no definite time or day it still leaves scope for setbacks and excuses will be taken well. On the other hand when a promise/ commitment is given with time and day it becomes awkward for the rest to come to accepting your priorities and in future your promises.

Holding onto certain perceptions and beliefs many may easily jump to conclusions about the point of a promise not being kept. So through this there can be many rifts and vacuums being created in any kind of relationships. The importance of staying committed and focusing on working on whatever it maybe is very much important and needed.

Life has its ways to bring us teachers to show us the importance of being able to make a statement and prove it too. Even if we choose yes when asked in the beginning of this blog, the test is still there to how committed are you towards keeping up the same. Ones who selected maybe would also equally be put through the wringer of tests. The point is simple we all are here to witness and experience life.

We are not here to run or catch the next train to some place. But to help each other evolve as souls and bring happiness to them. The reason relationships are important is these bring amazing lessons be it karmic or otherwise. What we see and perceive many times can be illusions misguiding and put us off tracks and creating challenges for us.

How do we stick to a promise/ commitment?

• Firstly please don’t commit or promise without giving it a thought.
• Be mindful and take your time to think and work things out in your mind before speaking up.
• It’s okay to take time, know and understand you cannot please the world.
• There is no use piling your plate if you are unable to work out your commitments/ promises
• Be open and clear with communication and speak up earnestly
• It’s okay if you are unable to fit something in there is no need to go on a guilt trip or get anxious
• When you feel you may have an issue with keeping a promise/ commitment please be very clear and open with communication
• Don’t leave someone hanging around with no clear answer.
• Respecting the other person’s space and happiness is very much needed and also must be acknowledged.
• Reciprocation of what’s being given for you or done for you is much need and will be appreciated.

When we look at these steps and understand what can be done, it would be good to Introspect and act accordingly. My personal thoughts on it is, I never jump or move towards committing without thinking. Yes, before at times I would jump in without thinking and then be full of regret and irritation.

While speaking at times without being mindful when one speaks and is in agreement only to realize that it’s going against your thoughts. It would best to then and there clear the confusion. As it would make things more amicable and easy to handle.

While giving a promise please be mindful and don’t go overboard or cross your boundaries. This is essential and one should never let their boundaries be collapsible.

Keeping a promise is as important as having to maintain boundaries.

A promise can make or break people’s trust in us.
