New Year, Old Promises

Promise to not quit when I fail
Promise to not go overboard when I succeed

Promise to not confuse milestone with the destination
Promise to not fool myself to believe I deserve where I’m in life

Promise to not let where I want to be trump who I want to be
Promise to balance who I am with who I can

Promise to not break hearts I worked hard to win
Promise to bring smiles to faces I care about to the best I can
