I PROMISE MYSELF (TM)

I PROMISE MYSELF…

  • To be SO STRONG and SO CALM and SO CENTERED that NOTHING can disturb my peace of mind and inner balance.
  • To Speak only of Health, Happiness and Prosperity to EVERYONE I know or meet.
  • To Make EVERYONE I know and meet, and especially my partner/spouse and all my family, friends, clients, employees and colleagues know and feel that there is greatness in them and that they are worthy.
  • To look at and see the BRIGHT SIDE of EVERYTHING and make my OPTIMISM come true.
  • To THINK only of the BEST, to WORK only for and with 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 and RELEASE the MISTAKES and PAIN of the Past and PRESS ON to the greater achievements of the PRESENT and the FUTURE.
  • To wear a CHEERFUL EXPRESSION at ALL times and give a SMILE to EVERY living creature that 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 GREATFUL and HAPPY each day to permit the presence of TROUBLE.
  • To LOVE MYSELF, RESPECT MYSELF and to THINK WELL of MYSELF and to SHOW and PROCLAIM this fact to the world, not in loud words but with GREAT DEEDS.
  • To LIVE each day with the FAITH, BELIEF and CONVICTION that the WHOLE WORLD is ON MY SIDE, so long as I am TRUE to my cause and true to the best that is in me.
  • To KNOW with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY each day that ALL I need is within me every day.
