Live Out of Your Imagination

Live out of your imagination, not your history.

The Glorious Pursuit of Life

Image by Lupen Grainne/Honeytree

Find life experiences and swallow them whole.

Travel.

Meet many people.

Go down some dead ends and dark alleys.

Trust everything.

Exhaust yourself in the glorious pursuit of life.

I Promise Myself

Photograph by Lupen Grainne

I promise myself…

to be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind;

to talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet;

to make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them;

to look at the sunny side of everything and make my 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 I am about my 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 I meet;

to give so much time to improving myself that I 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 myself 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 my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.

Every Hour is Grace

For me, every hour is grace.

And I feel gratitude in my heart each time I meet someone and look at his or her smile.
