PROMISES FOR THE NEW YEAR

Author Unknown

This year why not make some promises rather than resolutions for the New Year? The following list should get you started.

• Promise to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
• Promise to make all your friends feel that there is something special about them.
• Promise to look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
• Promise to think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to make the best come true.
• Promise to be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
• Promise to forget the mistakes of the past and press on to greater achievements in the future.
• Promise to wear a cheerful expression at all times and to give every person you meet a smile.
• Promise to give so much effort to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
• Promise to be too big to worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble in your life.
