Of all your promises, the ones you make to yourself are the most important. The relationship you have with yourself is very much like that of a parent and child, so when you fulfill these obligations, you nurture and honor who you are.

Recall a pledge that you’ve made to yourself and resolve to keep it today. This may involve taking just one small step in the direction of your commitment. But no matter how far you get, your inner self will feel glad and more alive from this form of care.
