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 of 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 criticise others.
To be too large for worry,
Too noble for anger, too strong for fear
And too happy to permit the presense of trouble.
