"I promise you that one day I will be successful." I'm sure that we've all said something along those lines to someone in our lives that has truly questioned us. We've all been promised things and have, in return, promised things to others that at the time were feasible. There are moments in life though where some promises become impossible to be kept, while others are able to endure through it all and become a reality.

In life, we all have big dreams. The road to them can be rough, long, and grueling, but once you get there it feels so great (or so I'm told). Along the way, there will be many things that will test you. Promises will be made, things will be gained, and experiences will be plenty. But there will also be many rough patches where promises will be broken and things will be lost. It's not always easy, but you have to be able to be smart enough to adapt and keep moving forward. Odds are, you'll pull through and be a better person because of it all. When everything is said and done, people won't remember you for what you wore, how you spoke, or what friends you had. They will remember you by how good to your word you are, your type of spirit and attitude, as well as most of the things that you were able to accomplish in your life. It would be nice to leave a good impression in all of these areas. Keeping promises is a hard one for most people because not only do you have to remember specifics, but you have to be able to follow through in a timely manner and be successful. People in the world don't always do that, and while it's frustrating and disheartening, it's a part of life that helps to build you stronger and teach you lessons that will be of use to you someday.
