A Promise Is a Promise!
“When you make a promise, keep it.” Zig Ziglar
Meaning of the Quote:
To make a promise, you “assure someone that you will definitely do, give or arrange something.” A promise is a commitment so keep it. More importantly, when you make a promise, fulfill it.
Discussion of the Quote:
“A promise made is a debt unpaid.” Robert W. Service. Take action and make sure that the promise you have made to someone does not remain an unpaid debt. Instead, make good upon it by keeping it.
A promise is “a declaration that one will do a particular thing or that a particular thing will happen.” You promised that something will happen so make good on your promise and make it happen.
Final Thoughts:
To often promises are made and never kept. “A man apt to promise, is apt to forget.” When you make a promise to someone, it is as if you take a debt from that person. The debt you owe that person is not paid until the promise is fulfilled. “A promise is a promise, and a man’s word is his bond.” So keep your promise so that you keep your word.
I appreciate your time and your comments.

Something people need to work on is keeping promises around here at my house. We are all stuck in a world of technology and yet make promises to get off of the technology to do something with our families. Working on this is hard but needs to be done.
Thank you for the great post.

Hi Nichola, So very true. Absolutely no point in promising someone something if you do not have the intention, or the means of being honest to yourself and the person(s) you made that promise to. Be able to fulfill your promises, or do not bother making the promise.
Best wishes,

Hi Nichola, there is a saying, 'never make a promise you can't keep'.
So make sure you CAN keep it before you make it.
But if that promise is to yourself and you don't keep it then you have no one else to blame and agonise over but yourself.
Just don't fail yourself with broken promises.
