Resolutions and Promises


Why do we still need to make resolutions and promises if the possibility of making or putting them into flesh is very shallow? It would only be a source of depression and anxiety if we find ourselves deviating from them. Is there really a need to make such things? Is there still goodness in it?

In themselves, resolutions and promises are neither good nor bad. They are indifferent. But, they are essential for us to have a focus and guidelines in life. They could serve as a voice within us that will guide us in discerning what is ought to be done and what is not.

Resolutions and promises could be one of our maps and blueprints in building up our future. They could always remind us of the best possible ways to grow better.
