I’ve noticed people frequently  make promises or various types of commitments to me and wind up not following through. I would say  1 person in 10 who promises me something ever actually delivers and I think the high failure rate is personal to me.

By that, I mean I think “integrity” is more common in the collective than this statistic would indicate. So I think the fact people over-promise where I am concerned has something to do with me.

And my best guess is the person moved and energized by me in some way which causes them to spill over and make huge, sweeping promises which they cannot or will not deliver when it gets right down to it. And their failure harms me each and every time. It just hurts me.

And I’ve been thinking about this lately because while I don’t think I can affect the frequency with which this occurs, I do think I can find some kind of (Jupiter) perspective that I can apply so this bothers me less.

So to this end, I’m asking:

As it happens, I got my first car which was a motorcycle, from the soldier…

“Well you came back and gave me your motorcycle. You kept your promise. Do you remember that?” I asked.

“I remember,” he said, interrupting me. “Of course I kept my promise. I had to keep my promise. It suited you better than it ever suited me. It was red. It was fiery like you. My new bike was black. It suited me better, but anyway, yes I kept my promise. I keep all my promises, or at least I try to. There have been a few promises I’ve made in my life I’ve not been able to keep, but they are very few and far between and it sure wasn’t for the lack of trying.” Continue reading The Soldier and P – 16: Honor, Promises, Red Motorcycles and Being Empowered By Scorpio Energy
