from the publisher As I enjoy my cup of coffee, I find myself staring out the window at five squirrels playing ‘hide and seek’ as they scurry from tree to tree. I imagine them laughing as they run, enjoying the morning sun without a care in the world. In this moment, I find myself wanting to be a squirrel running and playing with them, enjoying all that life has to offer. So many of us take life so seriously, wouldn’t it be great if we didn’t have to? Like many of you, I am forever a cup half full and never a cup half empty. Just the other day, I was talking to someone and in the mist of our deep discussion he said, “don’t take offense to this, but you are what I call an ‘airy-fairy.’” I looked at him and thought, hmmm really? My thoughts immediately went to ~ you think I’m an airhead? I’m sure the expression on my face said it all. He then said, “what I mean by that is you are an extremely optimistic person, one who always looks at the positive.” “In my opinion,” he continued, “airy-fairy people are the ones who manifest exactly what they want and know how to get things done. I love working with people like that,” he said. I smiled and thought, yep, then I’m an airy-fairy and surely proud of it! Enjoying and manifesting the life that you want is always possible. Looking at the cup half full just helps to ensure all the possibilities. The words I am about to share with you are what I wish for all of us. It’s a promise I’ve made to myself, and by sharing, I hope you will too. Make A Promise To 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 in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only the be st, 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 every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize 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 words but great deeds. To live in faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you. —Christian D. Larson So go out into the world knowing, that you are too large, too noble, too strong, and too happy to ever allow anything to stand in your way.
