One of my Vidyapith teachers sent this to me, and I really liked it. I thought I’d share it with you all — its nice to see that someone has so eloquently voiced the way I try to live.
Promises To Yourself
Promise yourself…To be so strong that nothing can disturb yourpeace of mind.To talk health, happiness, and prosperity toevery person you meet.To make all your friends feel that there issomething in them.To look at the sunny side of everything andmake your optimism come true.To think only the best, to work only for thebest, and to expect only the best.To be just as enthusiastic about the successof others as you are about your own.To forget the mistakes of the past andpress on to the greater achievements of thefuture.To wear a cheerful countenance at all timesand give every living creature you meet asmile.To give so much time to the improvement ofyourself that you have no time to criticizeothers.To be too large for worry, too noble foranger, too strong for fear; and too happy topermit the presence of trouble.To think well of yourself and to proclaim thisfact to the world, not in loud words, but ingreat deeds.To live in the faith that the whole world is onyour side so long as you are true to the bestthat is in you.
(Published as “The Optimist Creed” almost a hundred years ago by Christian D. Larson, the words complement and provide inspiration to those reaching out for spiritual realms.)

Then I would agree that it voices the way you try to live.
Good point — I hadn’t noticed that until you pointed that out. Thanks!
I like the importance you are giving to all learning and the way of connecting it with introspection. That is a sure way to progress in the world of spirituality (in my little understanding).
