Promise
Sworn future action
A promise is a declaration that you will or won't do something, creating an expectation in another person: I promise I'll be there.
Breaking a promise damages trust.
Promise also means potential for future excellence: a young artist of great promise.
To promise can mean to give grounds for expectation: The clouds promise rain.
A promised land is a place of hoped-for happiness or fulfillment.
