Today, I want to talk about something crucial for personal growth and success—keeping promises to yourself.

How many times have you said, “This year, I’m going to get in shape,” or “I’m finally going to lose the weight that I have gained”? And yet, life happens, and those promises fall to the wayside. It’s easy to make excuses for why we didn’t follow through, but deep down, we know the truth: we broke a promise to ourselves.
When this happens, it chips away at our confidence. We start to doubt our ability to commit, to achieve, and to overcome challenges. But here’s the good news: the opposite is also true.
Every time you make a promise to yourself and follow through—no matter how small—your confidence grows. And the more challenging the task, the greater the sense of accomplishment. Every obstacle you overcome builds strength, not just in your body but in your mindset.
Pay attention to how you feel when you honor your commitments versus when you don’t. After a failure, do you default to excuses? If you dig deeper and hold yourself accountable, you’ll often find that the true reason was a lack of persistence.
To build lasting confidence, focus on doing hard things and seeing them through to the end. Start small. Make promises you know you can keep. Then, step by step, build your confidence as you tackle bigger goals.
