Don’t promise that you won’t give up, Dear One.
– Promise that you’ll always do your best.

Don’t promise that you won’t be afraid.
– Promise to trust that all will be well.

Don’t promise that you won’t hate anymore
– Promise that you’ll try to forgive.

Don’t promise to stop doing that which you know does not serve you anymore.
– Promise to love and care for yourself, no matter what.

While they both may result in you choosing the same behavior, the difference between the two is night and day.
