I Promise….
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 they are unique and special people. 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 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 countenance at all times and give every living creature I meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of myself that I have no time to criticise others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
| ‘Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure, It’s our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves; who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous ? Actually, who are you not to be ? You are a child of the universe. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world, There is nothing enlightening about shrinking, So that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are borne to manifest the glory of the universe that is within us, It’s not just within some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. And as we are liberated from our own fear Our presence automatically liberates others ‘ Marianne Williamson Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.
Concerning all acts of Initiative and Creation, there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans, that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one that would never have occurred.
A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
