I promise myself

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 to proclaim this fact to the world,
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.

BY CHRISTIAN D LARSON

I try extremely hard to live by the above poem
to be better to do better ...

...now what some of you wouldn't know is  that this poem goes somewhat hand in hand with The Secret : law of attraction ...iv had endless amounts of debates with my very religious friends and family they believe the secret is more of a cult ... in my opinion as iv tried to explain is the mind is a powerful tool and putting faith in something is even more powerful the teaching of the secret says have unwavering faith ... and i believe faith is of great importance ... also it advises to change your mind state from negative to positive and to be a better person to attract love into your world you have to show love. Yes it also says you can have whatever you want ... i personally believe that ... if you want something and you believe you deserve it and believe that you are able to get it, that determination combined with unwavering faith :) ... how can you not achieve your every hearts desire ??? best part of listening to the Secret dvd is the words ...

"THE POWER INSIDE YOU IS GREATER THAN THAT ,THAT IS IN THE WORLD"

I use to hear that from everyone growning up ... and I believe it ...

Yes i follow the teachings of the secret
Yes i believe with my whole heart in God
Yes i believe that if i live like the poem "i promise myself" stated i wiill grow to be a better person and that God will be proud of me

I know i will never get through to people who don't want to hear anything about The Secret ... but maybe just maybe there's one person who's open minded who will see my point of view and maybe even be touched by my post today...

May good things happen in your life
May your thoughts be positive so that only good things come your way

love & light
