Promises you need to make to your self.

 Promise is such a strong word right? Good, we need that feeling. 

We neglect so many little things in our life, don't we? We are always concerned about all things except ourselves. Question yourself, you are more worried about what others will think about you. You know, deep down, that the answer is true. It's true, that you are always worried about impressing others. True, that you can't even care for yourself properly. Now, It's high time. You need to make these promises this week. Let's call this week "the week of promises."

No. 1: Promise, that you'll smile every single day.

Smile, it's free. It won't cost you a million to give a small grin. No matter how difficult it is, no matter how heated an argument is, a smile can change everything. When you help someone, the smile that person gives you is heart touching. In the same way, as a grateful gesture, spread your smiles to all those who mean a lot to you.

No. 2- Promise that you will not try to impress people whom you don't need to.

Impressions are really helpful, but sometimes, it's just pointless. Impress people who care about you and whom YOU care about. Mediocre people don't need your attention. Invest your time in people who you would move along more frequently and happily. Remember, you often find people who are fake, but only seldom you come across wonderful souls. 

No. 3- Promise that you will shine, but also help others grow.

Life is a competition and yes, we must shine. But in this long run, there are some, who need someone to nurture them. A lump of clay becomes beautiful after nurturing it and molding it with love and compassion. Help yourself to grow and encourage others to do so, because that's where the beauty of humanity lies.

No.4- If they appreciate, cherish it. Otherwise, soak it in.

Appreciations are meant to be cherished, criticisms are meant to be wiped off and you need learn from them. Learn from them, only if you have made a mistake. Don't let these negative pointers deter your spirit. So, the promise you need to make from this point is that you won't let your spirits get dim by criticisms or negativity.

No.5- Promise that you will always give attention to those little things in your life.

Whether your flower has bloomed in your garden, or you've completed a fitness challenge, there is always a reason to be happy. These small little things in your life add some color and quirk and when you look back, you have plenty of things to be happy. Enjoy and celebrate every moment with happiness, because you may never get that moment again. Turn every beautiful moment to a memory you can cherish upon. 

One last thing: Promise me that you will promise yourself all of these things!

That's all for this post, 

Stay tuned for the next week!
