Promise Yourself

Promise yourself....

To be so strong that nothing

can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity

to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel

that there is something in them

To look at the sunny side of everything

and make your optimism come true.

To think only the best, to work only for

the best,

and expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the

success of others

as you are about your own.

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 you meet a

smile.

To give so much time to the

improvement of yourself

that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for

anger, too strong for fear,

and too happy to permit the presence of

trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim

this fact to the world,

not in loud words but great deeds.

To live in faith that the whole world is on

your side

so long as you are true to the best that is

in you.
