Promise Yourself

Ø  To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind; 
Ø  To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet; 
Ø  To make all my friends feel that there is something in them; 
Ø  To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true; 
Ø  To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best; 
Ø  To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own; 
Ø  To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of my future; 
Ø  To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature I meet a smile; 
Ø  To give so much time to the improvement of myself that I have no time to criticize others; 
Ø  To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear; and too happy to permit the presence of trouble; 
Ø  To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in great deeds; 
Ø  To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side so long as I am true to the best that is in me.
