Promise Yourself

Promise yourself to be strong, that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. To make 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 the best, to work only for the best and expect only the best. To be as 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 as much time to improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. Too be too large to worry, to noble to anger, too strong to fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. - Geane Semonett
