Promise Yourself...

I got this great motivational email from my little sister today (she hates when I call her my little sis :o).

Rashida (I call her Shida) has a list that she sends messages out to daily to motivate and inspire people. Hmmm... wonder where she gets that from. lol

That's my adorable little nephew in the picture with her. Just in case you don't hear it enough Shida, I'm proud of you and I love you even if you did steal my car that time and go joy-riding while I was out of town! :o)

Now on to the message...

Promise Yourself

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind;
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet;
To make all your 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 to expect only the best;
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own;

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future;

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile;

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you 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 yourself 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 your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.
