Turning my Goals into Promises

I just read an article on why making promises to yourself have a much higher success rate than having goals you want to achieve. Goals have the reputation of being things that you want to achieve but if it doesn't happen, there's no real consequence. Promises on the other hand carry an emotional attachment that your subconscious will recognize and help you work towards making sure you keep that promise.

Current Goals I am working on...

Convincing my boo that he can trust me and I only want the best for him despite his concerns
Building a better, more honest relationship with my boo so that we can be comfortable being together
Getting a job that will afford me the opportunity to live on my own again in Maryland
Doing a Beyonce Chaise compilation video for Christmas
Buying a camera
Fixing my credit to build my credit score
File court papers
Living the life I imagine

The idea is to turn all of these goals into promises. I personally take promises seriously. I rarely make promises; only if I know for a fact I can live up to it. If I tell someone I am going to do something, I 99% of the time make sure I do it. That 1% is usually something I agreed to that I didn't really want to do and I flaked for some reason. But even when I do that, I normally do something to make up for it because I know how it feels to be promised something that never happens.

Goals into Promises...

I promise myself that I will be more open and honest with my boo. I promise to make sure I voice how I am feeling so that he can fully understand where I am coming from. I promise to resist my urge to think negatively and have faith in my boo, even when I know he doesn't have faith in himself. I promise to do whatever it takes to build on our relationship and to make it work for both of us. I promise to love him with all my heart for as long as he wants me to. I promise to make his life easier and not harder. I promise the next time I see my boo face to face, I am going to tell him exactly how I feel. I promise to hold nothing back.

I promise that I will do whatever I can to move back to Maryland and live on my own again. I promise to find a job that I can use my skills to help out and make enough money to live comfortably on my own. I promise that even if I do not get the opportunity to work the job that I interviewed for, then I will go to bartending school as an alternative.

I promise that I will make the Beyonce Chaise compilation video for my aunt for Christmas. I promise I will get as many people involved in this project as I can. I promise I will stay on top of it and make sure it is done on time.

I promise I will save the money needed to purchase the camera that I want.

I promise I will contact the debt consolidation company about my credit report and what they can do to help me improve things. I promise I will pay off what i can pay off on my credit report.

I promise I will stop blowing my money and start using it on things that will help me, instead of hold me back from what i want.

I promise when I get back to Maryland I will go file my landlord tenant court papers.

I promise I will do what it takes to live the life I have always dreamed of. I promise that I will be healthy. I promise I will have a wonderful relationship with the man of my dreams. I promise I will have a child of my own. I promise I will help raise beautiful children, inside and out. I promise I will maintain a healthy emotional life for my sake and the sake of my family. I promise I will have access to all the money I need to live the life I want. I promise I will remain positive about life and everything to come. I promise I will be determined to always live and enjoy life.
