| Promises
        to 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. C.D. Larson
