I promise to be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.

I promise to talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet.

I promise to make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.

I promise to look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.

I promise to think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.

I promise to be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.

I promise to forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

I promise to wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet.

I promise to give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others.

I promise to be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

I promise to think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in great deeds.

I promise 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.
