A promise is a commitment to do something later, and a vow is a binding commitment to begin doing something now and to continue to do it for the duration of the vow. Some vows, or contracts, are for life; others are for limited periods of time.
The past is dead except for the life you give it
Loving money at the expense of others is an abuse of power to get wealth.
Desire is craving enough to sacrifice for
You are not free until your past has no effect on your future
We each were endowed at birth with a unique gift, something we were born to do or become that no one else can achieve the way we can. God's purpose is that we bear abundant fruit and release the blessings of our gift and potential to the world.
