3 Promises from David J Pollay on NSI Radio
Promises can say a lot about your character. David J Pollay well-known author of The Law Of the Garbage Truck and for his insights regarding positive physiology has a new book.
The 3 Promises
Let’s talk about promises for a moment. Do you make them freely and do everything in your power to follow through on your promises? Do you feel really awful when some unexpected event occurs and it is difficult to keep that promise that you made in good faith? If only everyone would work towards keeping their promises both to themselves and to other people, I believe we would not have conflicts and relationship failures.
Frequently people say frivolously “I Promise”and never feel remorse if that promise goes by the wayside. ” I promise ” is in every wedding vow. So why is our divorce rate at 50% or higher? In my opinion, it is similar to a lie. In many cases, we promise ourselves things that we honestly know are going to end up challenging us. Every New Year’s Eve the ritual of making a resolution to do something in the up-and-coming year is a customary practice by millions of people. Why do so many of us fail to keep promises to ourselves, let alone succeed at keeping promises that we have made to others? Our politicians make empty promises all the time.
Once a promise is broken, an apology can not reinstate trust. Promises are words easily spoken and just as easily broken, even to yourself. Learning not to brake promises is not as hard as it may appear.
A few helpful tips for keeping promises:
Before you make a promise be honest with yourself and ask the inner you, “can I really keep that promise?”
When a promise is asked of you, be honest if it’s more than you can handle. You give it your best attempt, but don’t promise what may prove unattainable.
Carefully analyze the possibilities that what you are promising is really conceivable.
