Promise yourself

To be so strong that nothing
can disturb your peace of mind;
To talk health, happiness and
prosperty to every person you meet;
To make all your friends feel
that there’s something in them;
To look at the sunny side of everything
and make your optimism come true;
To think only of the best, to work only for the best,
and to expect only the best;
To be just as enthusiastic about
the success of others as you are about yours;
To forget the mistakes of the past and
press on to the greater achievements of the future;
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and
give every living creature a smile;
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticise others;
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger,
too strong for fear, and too happy
to permit the presence of trouble.
