Say to yourself a hundred times every day and mean it with all your heart :
I will become more than I am.
I will achieve more and more every day because I know that I can.
I will recognise only that which is good in myself; only that which is good in others; only that in all things and places that I know should live and grow.
When adversity threatens I will be more determined than ever in my life to prove that I can turn all things to good account.
And when those whom I have trusted seem to fail me, I will have a thousand times more faith in the honour and nobleness of man.
I will think only of that which has virtue and worth.
I will wish only for that which can give freedom and truth.
I will expect only that which can add to the welfare of the world.
I will live to live more.
I will speak to give encouragement, inspiration and joy.
I will work to be of service to an ever-increasing number.
And in every thought, word and action my ruling desire shall be to enrich, ennoble and beautify existence for all who come my way.
Christian Larson
