"Promise myself"

Promise myself

To be so 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
that there is something in them
To look at the sunny side of everything
and make my optimism come true.

To think only the best, to work only for the best,
and to expect only the best.

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 meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of myself
that  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 great deeds.
To live in faith that the whole world is on my side
so long as true to the best that is in life.”
