Let's Not Allow Ourselves To Be Upset

Be A Balanced Optimist. Nobody Is Suggesting That You Become An Oblivious Pollyanna, Pretending That Nothing Bad Can Or Ever Will Happen. Doing So Can Lead To Poor Decisions And Invites People To Take Advantage Of You. Instead, Be A Rational Optimist Who Takes The Good With The Bad, In Hopes Of The Good Ultimately Outweighing The Bad, And With The Understanding That Being Pessimistic About Everything Accomplishes Nothing. Prepare For The Worst But Hope For The Best - The Former Makes You Sensible, And The Latter Makes You An Optimist.

Every Day I Pray. I Yield Myself To God And The Tensions And Anxieties Go Out Of Me And Peace And Power Come In.

Enthusiasm Is The Dynamics Of Your Personality. Without It, Whatever Abilities You May Possess Lie Dormant; And It Is Safe To Say That Nearly Every Man Has More Latent Power Than He Ever Learns To Use. You May Have Knowledge, Sound Judgment, Good Reasoning Faculties; But No One-not Even Yourself-will Know It Until You Discover How To Put Your Heart Into Thought And Action.

No Matter What Happens, Always Be Yourself.

A Good Deed, "said The Prophet Mohammed, "is One That Brings A Smile Of Joy To The Face Of Another." Why Will Doing A Good Deed Every Day Produce Such Astounding Efforts On The Doer? Because Trying To Please Others Will Cause Us To Stop Thinking Of Ourselves: The Very Thing That Produces Worry And Fear And Melancholia.
