Sometimes it is hard to let go of negative thoughts and feelings, especially if you are on the end of undeserved pure hate and anger from someone you once loved, but let go you must.

Sometimes you fail to rise above the abuse and instead stand up for yourself, but is it standing up for yourself or lowering to anothers level?

Sometimes doing the right thing may be the wrong thing, but until you've done it, you won't know.

Sometimes you know that the hate that someone is showing, isn't really hate for you, but hate for themselves, only they are not prepared to even consider that thought.

Have a read of The Optimist Creed by Christian D. Larson or have a look at Monday's post.

********************************

Promise Yourself

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

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

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

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

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

To give so much time to improving yourself that you 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.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud word, but in great deeds.

To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side, so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

Be happy,
