Promise Yourself 21 October 2007

Note: The better part of this post is copied from a mantra by Christian D. Larson, as published by Papemelroti.  It makes good reminder though, that is why I want to share it.

**

Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.  To talk health, peace, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.  To make your friends feel that there is something special in them.  To love, sing, and talk like there is no ridicule or pain.  To search for the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.  To listen to the other side before making any judgment.  To think of only the best, work for only the best, and expect only the best.  To be just as enthusiastic and as appreciative of the successes and stories of others as you are about your own.  To forget the mistakes of the past and devote your energies for the great things of the future.  To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a nice, warm smile.  To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.  To not be an emotional vampire because happiness is such a precious thing.  To be too large for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

And to be so happy that you will never forget there is a God.  And eventually, everything will be fine.
