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

To think only 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 countenance 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

May I Promise Myself Instead -
Version2
On my 90th Day-

Please do not make me promise to always keep up
& beat the system.
I cannot and will not.
I choose to walk my own path.

Why?
I read it here in the board ,
in one of the threads from
Somebody whose opinion,
I really value says that "maybe
the person struggling is the one insane,
because others were able to beat the system"

At that time I do not know what that means.
I felt so defensive at that time, I even committed
argumentum ad hominem.

Today on my 90th day,
I do not feel the need to beat the system:

1.If u mean there are less people here & more
accts, I have figured that out in my 60th day?
Does it bother me? At first yes.
Then eventually No.
Why would I care if it is their 2nd alternate
or the 1000th?
It just means they have so much time in their hands,
and they have reasons why they are doing it.
We could never 2nd guess their reasons & motives.
If I interact with them, it is because I feel
the need to give my own perspective.

2.If u mean, people who feel the need to always
make another account everytime they want to
open a new topic, give their support, give their
criticisms, I too am aware of that few weeks ago,
when I see a lot of old accounts, but does not add up
to who they should be?

Do we need to judge them because they do not have
the courage to post it on their own main accounts?
Let them be. It is their choice.
To each of his/her own.

For now, may I promise instead not to be like them.
Because I do not have the time and I do not see the need:

I have a topic that has been erased because I break so
many rules on that one.
So what is a worst topic that I cannot open if I wanted to?

I have posts deleted and is known to hijacked threads when
I am emotional.
So what is a worst opinion that I cannot say in my own
username that I feel the need to waste time & open another
one? So I can go back to my word and feel bad that I could not
keep my word? Pretty illogical right?

I even did drama when people are overboard.
Heck I even declared I am player in the board,
even if some people in the company I am working with says:

-men hates drama & players
-men hates unfeminine & loud bi++++ches

It is my way of being fair to
someone who will be serious in
getting to know me.

I rationalize, if he can accept me
despite my username,
despite my attitude in the board,
despite my lack of class & fashion sense
despite my lack of very feminine attributes
then maybe I can affect him, like a woman
should affect her man in the most basic
law of attraction between a man & a woman.

May I promise instead to be who I have claimed to be,
and said who I am.

I really like this " Promise Myself" Piece from
the Quote of the Day Thread.

I like it and ended up internalizing it.
And it makes me want to express myself



Please do not make me promise to be strong.
May I promise instead to survive the blow.
Take it in stride & walk at my own pace,
at my own terms, & live as I choose to?

Health,Happiness & Prosperity
is for everybody to talk about.
Health,Happiness & Prosperity
is not for everybody to just grab.
It is only for people who
can convince & will themselves
to be healthy, happy & prosperous.

Please do not make me promise to be
optimistic & gentle always with my friends.
Like me, sometimes they need harsh words,
and not compliments.
Like me, sometimes they just need someone
to listen to, and not necessarily agree with them.
Like me, sometimes they need a dose of reality,
for them to grow & be a better person.

Please do not make me promise to only expect the best.
I cannot, will never will. My best maybe mediocre for others.
Please do not make me promise to be
enthusiastic of others success,
I really sometimes envy them,
and wish that I can be as successful as them.
That is the sad part of me.
I promise instead to give my best
to keep up with them.
I promise instead to give my best
to be diligent & work harder
to be like them someday.

Please do not make me promise to forget
the mistakes of the past.
Those mistakes are part of who I am now.
Those mistakes made me what I am now.
That is why I cant always be cheerful.
There are just days I need to cry.

Please do not make me promise always to improve myself.
Sometimes, I dont want to budge & just be stubborn.
Sometimes, I really resent changes & even progress.
Sometimes, I am just too scared to even try to change myself.
But I can promise to learn at my own pace.
I can promise to strive harder to be a
better person someday.
Just dont please rush me.
I want to take it one day at a time.

Please do not make me promise not to criticize others,
I am still working on my being tactless & being disagreeable.
I always end up "criticizing words" of other people.
I always feel this need to give my own perspective.
Even if it sometimes hurt me & other people
I am interacting with.


Please do not make me promise -
"To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear"
It is never possible for me. Even if I live a 100 & 20.
I just cant. I dont have it in me.
May I promise instead to be not always a worrier.
May I promise instead to be slow in anger.
May I promise instead to face my fears, not as someone too strong
but as someone too stubborn to admit defeat without even trying.


Please do not make me promise to think well of myself.
There are just realllllly days that I hate myself.
There are just days I hate myself for the decisions I've made.
There are just days I hate myself the way I treated other people.
There are just days I hate myself for saying the wrong things.
There are just days I hate myself for not holding back.
There are just days I hate myself for feeling
more emotions than others.
There are just days I hate myself for just being myself.
May I promise instead to accept myself.
May I promise instead to be kinder to myself.
May I promise instead to manage on my own.
May I promise instead to give my best shot.
May I promise instead to shove back hard at life,
with all the will & strength I have in me.
