A promise is a commitment by someone to do or not do something.  As a verb Promise is to tell someone that you will certainly do something. As a noun It means a declaration assuring that one will or will not do something. The fifth day of Valentine’s week is Promise Day where couples or lovers make unbreakable vows to each other, and promise & profess their love & commitment for life to each other.

Promises can be kept between two best friends, siblings and family too. Promise Day is celebrated on February 11 every year by couples & love birds to show their dedication towards each other and further strengthen their relationship. Trust is an important aspect of a healthy and long-term relationship, and must be developed through promises, reassurances and actions. 

A large number of young people give roses to propose to their prospective girlfriend or boyfriend. 

🔺 Different  states of promises :

                                                                 

A promise has three states:-

* pending: the promise is still in the works.

* fulfilled: the promise resolves successfully and returns a value.

* rejected: the promise fails with an error.

🔺 Three Types of Promises : 

What is obvious to me may not be obvious to you.

 Trust in relationships is based on our ability to communicate with each other in unison.  Healthy relationships are based on making promises, keeping promises, and managing promises.  Commitment is the foundation of our identity, our effectiveness and our well-being.

 We may not call them commitments, but commitments are agreements and decisions about who will do what, when, and how.  A promise is a promise to ourselves and a promise to others.

 We cannot share commitments without shared understanding.  Our expectations are based on the promises we make.

Unspoken expectations are premeditative broken promises.

People do not care about your expectations.  Or mine. They care about the commitments we make and keep.

A promise is a personal commitment people expect you to honor.

There are 3 types of promises :- 

* Strong/Healthy Promises – 

Promises I am fully committed to keep; You can count on me.

If I am unable to keep my promise, I can renegotiate my original promise

i.e. I will meet you for coffee at 8 am. I will complete my assignment on time.

* Shallow Promises – 

Look like a strong promise, but an unspoken condition exists.

i.e. Yes, I will play golf with you on Saturday (unless it rains or something else comes up)

* Criminal Promises – 

Promises that at the moment we make them, we know we have no intention of keeping

i.e.  Maybe…My son asks me to play with him when I am done, and I tell him maybe

Promises unkept are NOT equal to expectations unmet. 

       What promises are you making?

       Are you honoring those promises?

       What promises are you fully committed to honoring?

       What promises do you need to renegotiate?

Personal integrity and honor depends on owning and delivering on the promises we make. Relationship trust is too valuable to take for granted.

Commit to making STRONG HEALTHY promises.

🔺 Promise Day Philosophy :

Every advantage of promise in the past is judged in the light of the final issue.

– Demosthenes 

Philosophers have tried to establish rules for promises. Immanuel Kant suggested promises should always be kept, while some consequentialists argue that promises should be broken whenever doing so would yield benefits. In How to Make Good Decisions and Be Right All the Time, Iain King tried to reconcile these positions, suggesting that promises should be kept ‘unless they are worth less to others than a new option is to you, and that this requires a relevant, unforeseen and reasonably unforeseeable change in the situation more important than the promise itself arising after the promise is made.

🔺 Promise Day Poetry :

Wait a minute my friend

 Let me understand the mind first 

 then exchange of words between us

 keep your eyes on my eyes

 next we walk together step by step 

 We will wipe our feets

 in the soft dew water of grass

 and we will walk

 from day to night

 in search of eternal dream

 Or until  you draw words

 into the grasshopper’s eyes

 The homeless wind

 will find a home 

.

 what happened

 Are not you surprised ?

 Don’t worry too much

 you fall in deep love

 .

 You say with love

 love is nectar

 Love is life

 Oh love friend

 don’t be lonely anymore…
