Promise Yourself - Christian D Larson

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 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.

I posted this first because I believe this is something to strive for. In my life I have seen the evidence of the old adage 'what you put out comes back to you'. I am grateful every day is a new opportunity to become even better then the day before and to promise myself to give so much time to the improvement of myself that I have no time to criticize others. And everything else in that poem! =)  Rae Ann
