One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and if possible, speak a few reasonable words. A day is lost if one has not laughed.

PROMISE YOURSELF - SELF HELP POEM

"Home is where the heart is"




Promise Yourself...
~author unknown

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 of the best,
To work only for the best, 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.
Or be too large for worry,
Too noble for anger, too strong for fear
And too happy to permit the presence of trouble....

How far you go in life depends on
your being tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged,
sympathetic with the striving and
tolerant of the weak and strong.
Because someday in your life you will have
been all of these.



gimme a holler if you need anything...
