I'm really starting to realize that everyday is truly what you make of it. That saying no longer sounds like an overplayed cliche to me. Recently my best days have been those that I have literally repeated over, and over in my mind- I will choose to have a great day today. I found this 'promise' recently and it has inspired me more than words can explain. I wanted to share it in hopes that it could also inspire others! Take this promise with you wherever you go.
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 of my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and except only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others, as I am of my own.
To forget mistakes of the past, and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear and 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 to proclaim this fact to the world-not in loud words, but good deeds.
To live in faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.
-Christian D. Larson
