A pledge to myself and the universe
Posted by DreamSharer on April 21, 2012I realized something last night…I realized how I have been in so much pain that I ended up giving up a lot of who I am. I realized that I have to remind myself of who I am and what I stand for every once in a while. I know I am not perfect and I know that I have some disabilities but I can never overcome that when I am not doing anything about it. So as hard as it is for me I sat down and thought of what I want to pledge to myself to get better and be a better person. Here’s my pledge which I will keep reminding myself of every time my hopes and spirits are down.
I pledge to give my best effort in all I do to continue to learn and improve. I will not let mistakes or fears of making a mistake stop me. I understand that mistakes are part of life and I can learn from my mistakes so I do not do them again. I will not compare myself to others as that creates jealousy and because I am giving my best and I am just as good as anyone and my skills will improve as I practice more.
I might fall short of my ideals sometimes, but I pledge that I will always try to do better, and I will try to learn from my mistakes.
I pledge to perform at my highest level at all times. I want to succeed in life so I will always keep trying my best.
I pledge to maximize my strengths while overcoming my weaknesses.
I pledge to not wallow in my mistakes — instead, staying positive and learning from them so I can become a better person.
I pledge to remember that success does not always equate to learning, nor does learning always result in success.
I pledge to reward myself whenever I achieve success.
I promise to be thankful for living every day.
I promise to be faithful to myself and others.
I promise to never take life for-granted and be thankful for all that I have.
I promise to have compassion.
I promise to never fear my emotions, love, hate, sadness, happiness, but learn to deal with them.
I promise that I’ll try to understand others and live with what life has given me.
I pledge to live my life to the fullest.
I pledge to be responsible for myself and compassionate towards others.
I pledge to love and respect myself and my friends and loved ones.
I pledge to “show up” in my life as myself, not as an imitation of anyone else.
I pledge to avoid using the word “just” to describe myself. For example, I won’t say, “I’m just a mother,” “I’m just a student” or “I’m just an ordinary person.”
I pledge to give myself ten minutes of silence and stillness every day to get in touch with my heart and hear my own voice.
I pledge to use my voice to connect my dreams to my actions.
I pledge to use my voice to empower myself and others.
I pledge to serve my community at least once a year in a way that will benefit other people.

I pledge to slow down and be present
I pledge to love and care for myself as much as I love and care for those I hold most dear
