Oath of Life

I came across some promises I made to myself a couple of years ago, I wrote them down on a piece of scrap paper. I read them and was surprised to still feel the same way. My career ambitions change as much as I change my underwear, but these promises seem to be deeply rooted in my belief system.

They are:

• I will maintain truth in all my relationships
• I will always love and appreciate my mother for her devotion to family and community
• I will remember the great things I have learned from my mentors, and strive to mentor others that follow behind me
• I will always do my best and work hard towards life goals
• I will live with purpose
• I will worship God in all I do
• I will enjoy life and all its wonder
• I will trust and love all
• I will have fun with all I do, or at least try :)
• I will pursue happiness in my career, personal life, and community
• I will act with goodwill
