Promise Yourself
Promise yourself to live every day to the max;
To
dream big and see every glass as half full;
To set high expectations for
yourself and for those around you;
To get things done rather
than talking about
them;
To say you’ll try rather than
complaining why you can’t;
To lead by
example rather than through control;
To win with integrity rather than at all
costs;
To make work fun rather than a chore;
To face challenges head-on
rather than surrendering
your dreams to fear;
To raise your hand rather than
pointing fingers;
and to learn from mistakes rather than covering them up.
During your journey, promise yourself to do
your best and nothing less;
To make
people feel good about themselves
and proud of their accomplishments;
And to be
as excited about the
success of others as you are about your own.
If you
promise yourself anything less,
you’ll be letting yourself down.
After all, a promise is a promise.
