I suppose in the external world I'm extremely anal about keeping my word. However when it comes to my self work, umm not so consistent. Meditation, self inquiry, is all new to me, so I can be pretty hard on myself at times. How I've been able to change that a step at a time? You! I envision you sitting across from me telling me that, "It's okay." I know that sounds silly, but it has been a game changer, along with the journals that I've started. I purchased your books and use them as guide stones daily. The impressions you leave upon my heart help me to keep pushing forward! Loving gratitude Venerable Nick.

Keeping my word is one of the most, if not the most important, priorities of my life. It usually comes naturally with my relationships, but keeping my word to myself was an issue for a long time. I really got tired of disappointing myself. I no longer waste energy on (optional) things that I think sound good but I really don't care about. I also made health a priority. I set discipline for myself, starting with the basics and then expanding on them. I live a very simple life and learning the structure of monastic life serves as a wonderful example. Now when I say something I am going to do it, barring unforeseen circumstances. You have made some wonderful points and given so much compassion for people like me who struggled for so long. The little accomplishments in our lives can lead to the larger, seemingly unattainable accomplishments! Everyone is capable of this, it starts with the mindset to be your own friend. Thank you Venerable Nick!

I’m glad you’re integrating this habit of keeping your word. Keep it up!

Every single word you spoke is a masterpiece. There are millions of videos and apps out there on procrastination, motivation, discipline etc...but none has ever spoken about the consequences of what happens if you don't keep your word. It is about being true to oneself, trusting onself...i haven't done that in a really long time and am in terrible shape right now - both mentally and physically. But your words have given me the much needed direction - i need to earn back my own trust and respect...Thank you so much.

Wow, so many people need to hear this. SO MANY. It would save so much self-loathing if people knew how to pull themselves up from this particular rut. It's one of those habits that is a downward spiral and the more you betray or disappoint yourself, the more difficult it is to love and respect yourself.

Welcome back, Ven. Nick. We here on the Internet have missed you. Thank you for this inspiring video, a great way to start the New Year.

Thankyou for your wisdom today, Ven. Nick... this video reminds me to one keyword; "Accountability". Many of us try to commit to our own promise but ended up overwhelmed by our situation, it is important to keep accountable to our own action, even if it's a small one, because sometimes insignificant actions may lead to results that are actually impactful for our life.

I will always keep my word. If I fall off track, I will get back on compassionately.

Not keeping our word sometimes hurt. It hurt us in the first place because it leaves us with a feeling of failure or or lack of self respect. Thank you for your video. It’s spot on🙏

Will come back to watch this video everytime I fall to remind me to stick to the goal. Thanks for sharing this🙏

In 2022, I targeted cultivation of self-care (body groundedness, relaxation, calmness, openness, caring, and kindness) integrated into my 40-45 hour work weeks and my relationship with my husband when possible. It was a joyful year for integrating my inner and outer worlds. I intend in 2023 to target the same, while improving my effectiveness and efficiency at work. I intend to read and write more, investigating future work appropriate to my abilities, possibly writing. My left eye sight is gradually diminishing, but at the moment, I'm still a software developer. Last year when I said I was retiring, my 2 male team members gave me a terrible time about leaving them in a lurch. It was hard to believe two young guys would encourage me to stay. The lead developer has also been so kind to me. He expressed appreciation for me on numerous occasions in recent months. It's great for my gratitude practice! Love and appreciation for all my spiritual friends including Ven Nick and all who love and follow him. Wishing all beings joy and peace in 2023.

Keeping words are for our sake only not for others. With this we get confidence on ourselves & improves our image of self in our mind. We realise our capability & ability too. There is one type of inner joy when we keep the words. When we really care of ourselves like a whole package, we keep our words. I maximum time try to keep my words as I only feel bad if I can't. I take care that whether I can keep my words, if yeah then only I go ahead. Happy New Year to all dear people with lots of Metta

I would love a full video on changing the relationship to goal settingWith chronic illness, I’m definitely not reading 10 books/year anymore. I’m just telling myself to read books this year on recovery and anything that peaks my interest. No number - which is the totally different approach to the standard goal setting method. Same goes for exploring creative projects - I’m exploring 4 different creative projects, 1 per quarter, no specific number of hours per week or day - just whatever I can do when I feel well enough. My type A personality finds this difficult, but also relieving because I can flow with my health and creativity as needed. How would one move forward with this approach after recovery and living in the modern life, especially professional ones? Thank you, Venerable Nick! 🙏🏼🙂
