All promises really mean is not now. They work so well because I can pretend that I am willing to take responsibility for my actions…just not this red hot minute. They soothe my conscience. I don’t have the guilt of not being accountable because I am utterly convinced that I will do something at a future date (as yet suspiciously unspecified) that I am not willing to practice at all now. Since we get better at whatever we practice the most, I have to wonder why I would believe that I will have that skill when I need it when I am not doing what I need to be doing to acquire it. In fact, I am doing just the opposite. Interesting logic.
