Be satisfied to do your best. If you make a mistake, or the wrong
decision, resolve to do the better next time and leave it at that. Worry won't alter it.
Feel friendly towards people. If they are unfriendly put a down to
tiredness, business worries, or just stop you being generous with your courtesy,
kindliness, encouragement, co-operation, affection.
Expect to enjoy this yourself. If you go about in this spirit, the
chances are that you will develop the attitude that looks for the pleasant, the friendly,
the pleasing, and the beautiful, rather than the reverse.
Collect happy thoughts, satisfactions and memories. Sore these in your
mind, rather than a string of grievances and "things-and-people-I-dislike."
Develop a variety of satisfying interests so that you will have
something in common with most people. Simplify your wants and your way of living. Cut down
on the modern tendency towards continual frantic hurry.
Don't put people on a pedestal and then be disappointed "because
they let me down". Do not expect too much from others or depend on them. But make
sure that they can depend on you.
Be quick to forgive and forget and to let bygones be bygones. Meet
people halfway, see their point of view, make allowances for them, speak first.
Stop fretting over plans that go wrong, ambitions that come to nothing,
irritations that have to be borne. Be thankful and grateful for the good things you have.
Learn to let go and to relax. Treasure your sense of humor. This should
be working overtime as you laugh with people and at yourself.
