I Promise Myself (from James Kevin Olega shared by Kath B.)

I 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 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 to 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 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.
