Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. Think only of the best. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give so much time to improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. Live in the fiath that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you!

Very wise words by Christian D. Larson, we hope that we may all strive to live by these words during the coming year...:) Happy New Year!
