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.

and expect only the best.

To be enthusiastic about the success of others

as you are about your own. 

To forget the mistakes of the past

and press on to 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 presence of trouble.
