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 promise 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. (Daily OM)
