Promise

Today I promise myself:

To be strong that
nothing can disturb my
peace of mind

to talk health, happiness
and prosperity to every
person I meet

to make all my friends
feel there is something
worthwhile in them

to look at the sunny
side of everything and make
my 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 I am about my own

to forget the mistakes
of the past and press on
to the greater
achievements of the future

to wear a cheerful
expression at all times
and give a smile to every
living creature I meet

to give so much time to
improving myself that I
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 myself
and to proclaim this fact
to the world, not in loud
words, but in great deeds

to live in faith that the
whole world is on my
side, so long as I am true
to the best that is in me
