In the first place, you shouldn't believe in promises. The world is full of them: the promises of riches, of eternal salvation, of infinite love. Some people think they can promise anything, others accept whatever seems to guarantee better days ahead, as, I suspect is your case. Those who make promises they don't keep end up powerless and frustrated, and exactly the fate awaits those who believe promises.
Paulo CoelhoWhen we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change.
Paulo CoelhoWhen I asked you if you wanted to, I was not testing your courage. I was testing your wisdom.
