When we make a promise, a subtle yet powerful shift takes place in our souls,
where intentions are housed. A vow is both a tool we employ in order to
facilitate transformation within ourselves and an expression of will. So to
make an oath is to communicate to the universe and our deeper selves our
commitment to the principles most important to us. Fulfilling a sacred vow --
whether it is as complex as "'till death do us part" or as simple
as "I promise" -- challenges us, exercising our willpower and
aiding personal growth.
When we speak a sacred vow out loud, as opposed to simply reciting it in our
minds or writing it on paper, our voices project our promises into the
deepest reaches of the universe. It is important that we remember that a vow
made with the sincerest of intentions has the power to carry on past our
earthly lifetimes. A well-chosen vow encourages commitment and dedication.
A sacred vow, once spoken, becomes a part of your existence forever. Your
view of the world around you may change, and your predominant thoughts and
feelings will no doubt evolve with time, but the spirit in which your oaths
were spoken will remain unaffected. It is up to you to determine how you will
stay true to your vows while your inner and outer worlds transform. Your
strength and character will inevitably be tested, as circumstances can make
keeping promises a challenge, but after you have shown yourself to be
steadfast, your appreciation of the sanctity of vows will be cemented in your
mind and soul.
