Promises We Make

The day I decided to start blogging, I promised to myself that I will try and write as often as possible. A fortnight later all that I find myself doing is re-reading my first blog, marvelling at how beautiful it looks in shades of pink, playing with the settings and still trying to figure out why my blog doesn't come up in search results! (PS: 8 June 2010 - I have changed the colors of my blog :-p)Its getting a bit hard to get get my thought process in place. But I'm sure sooner or later I will...just time and devotion is required!

The other day I was wondering how many times I have promised something to myself and how often I just give in to the temptation that lead me to break my promises made to myself. I promised to myself that I will refrain from eating junk and seriously start losing weight..hmm..not fulfilled...then I promised that I will never ask Rak to take me shopping considering how often I ask him to and thought to myself that he knows me well enough to understand. But just a day later I ended up blurting it out to him - " Rak, why dont you understand what I'm trying to say. I dont want to say it but because you dont understand I have to say it..Please take me shopping for summer clothes!! :-) " He took me around much to my delight! Though that's a different story that he was the one who ended up shopping and guess what I bought - A wash bag!

I'm not saying I don't live up to my promises. I always try and live up to the promises I make to others, but with myself I end up being more lenient than I should be. Someone recently said to me - if you dont respect yourself, don't expect others to respect you. I thus promise to myself today that I shall keep up to my promises made to myself!
Life's Like that..it teaches you a new lesson everyday, a lesson of life..of self improvement!
