Chris Cade, Spiritual Short Stories.com In the interview, Cade reveals the heartfelt, life-changing promise he made on the birth of his son. As Cade described it: “The promise was to devote myself to my son, to really be there, to keep him at the center of my life.” Since he made that promise, Cade realized that keeping his word would have serious implications for Cade’s career decisions and, after a divorce, even his decisions about where to live. Keeping this promise led to Cade’s decision to move from Oregon to Texas so he could remain geographically close to his son. During the interview, Cossolotto shared a similar story about the promise John Assraraf made to his two sons. Cossolotto interviewed Assaraf for his forthcoming book about the power of making a promise. Listen to this edited version of Chris Cade’s “What’s Your Promise?” interview on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/ During the lively interview, Cade expressed his strong support for Matthew Cossolotto’s mission to share the power of making a promise with millions of people around the world. After the interview, Cade provided this testimonial about Cossolotto’s “Make A Promise” mission: “Matthew, I really like the idea for your book -- The Power of Making a Promise. It resonates strongly with the messages I give to the world. A promise isn't words, and it's not just actions. A promise is both of those things WITH the heart behind them. It's that feeling inside that says, ‘I'm committed to this unquestionably.’ Chris Cade is not alone in voicing support for the Make A Promise concept including “Make A Promise Day” on May 4th. Popular TV personality Todd Newton said the following during his “What’s Your Promise?” interview: “I think what you’re doing is fantastic. And I can’t thank you enough for reaching out to me and allowing me to be a part of this. And I look forward to supporting your ‘Make A Promise Day’ in May and being a part of this great campaign as it grows, and grows, and grows.” Cossolotto’s forthcoming book about the power of making a promise will feature a foreword by Jack Canfield, co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. Here is a brief excerpt from Jack Canfield’s foreword: "When Matthew first told me about the heartfelt promise he made to his mother and that he was launching a special day called “Make A Promise Day” on May 4th, I was hooked. You could say he had me at “I promise.”… Contributing the foreword to this book and being associated with Matthew’s inspiring “Make-A-Promise” John Assaraf, best-selling author of Having It All, wrote this about Cossolotto’s “Make A Promise” project: “I have spoken with Matthew about his project related to The Power of Making a Promise. He told me about ‘Make A Promise Day‘ and his mission to highlight what he calls those two magic words: ‘I Promise.’ I agree completely with him that there is something uniquely powerful about making a promise that goes beyond traditional goal-setting… During her own “What’s Your Promise?” interview (to be released soon), Gail Lynne Goodwin, founder of http://www.InspireMeToday.com, said this about Cossolotto’s “Make A Promise” mission: “You’ In addition, the Town Board in Yorktown, New York, unanimously adopted a resolution on February 15, 2011, proclaiming May 4th to be “Make A Promise Day.” In the run-up to “Make A Promise Day” 2011, Cossolotto is asking supporters to spread the word about “Make A Promise Day” to jurisdictions across the U.S. and around the world. He encourages people to urge appropriate authorities in their town, city, county, state (or province) and country to adopt a “Make A Promise Day” Proclamation similar to the one passed by the Yorktown, New York, Town Board. See an earlier press release (http://prlog.org/ To underscore the power of making a promise, Cossolotto cites several high-profile examples: • Oprah Winfrey made a promise to Nelson Mandela that she would build a school for girls in South Africa. • Nancy Brinker, author of Promise Me and founder of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, promised her sister and breast cancer victim Suzy that she would help find a cure. • Before his daughter’s wedding, former president Bill Clinton made a promise to Chelsea that he would watch his diet and take care of his health. • NBC’s Al Roker made a promise to his dying father that he would deal with his weight issues. • Kody Bateman, CEO of Send Out Cards, made a promise to his departed brother (and himself) that he would act on his promptings and find a way to help others do the same. He founded Send Out Cards as a result of this heartfelt promise. • Kirk Smalley made a promise do everything he could to stop bullying after his 11-year-old stepson, Ty Field, committed suicide because he was being bullied at school. Cossolotto invites people around the world to submit short summaries of their moving true stories of promises made and promises kept for possible inclusion in forthcoming books, presentations, and interviews.
