Make a promise

Make a promise to yourself and keep it. There’s something that you’ve always desired, and now is the time to make it real.

You are fully capable of reaching whatever you decide to reach. Promise yourself something wonderful, and then do what it takes to fulfill that promise.

Stop groaning about how unfair life is. Start making life into something grand and joyful.

Every problem is an opportunity to make an improvement. Pick a particularly vexing problem and promise yourself that you’ll get triumphantly beyond it.

Find a dream that positively inspires you and promise yourself that you’ll reach it. Make a serious commitment to the richness of your own life, and follow through on that commitment.

You can do it if you’ll simply choose to do it. Make a promise to yourself, and make it happen.
