I Promise Myself…
…to be so strong that nothing can disturb
my peace of mind.
…to talk health, happiness, and prosperity
to everyone I meet.
…to make all my friends feel that 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 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 the faith that the whole world
is on my side, so long as I am true to
the best that is in me.
