When I Asked God for Strength
He Gave Me Difficult Situations to Face

When I Asked God for Brain & Brown
He Gave Me Puzzles in Life to Solve

When I Asked God for Happiness
He Showed Me Some Unhappy People

When I Asked God for Wealth
He Showed Me How to Work Hard

When I Asked God for Favors
He Showed Me Opportunities to Work Hard

When I Asked God for Peace
He Showed Me How to Help Others

God Gave Me Nothing I Wanted
He Gave Me Everything I Needed
- Swami Vivekananda

I will live through the next 12 hours and not try to tackle all of life's problems at once.

I will improve my mind. I will learn something useful.
I will learn something that requires effort, thought, and concentration.

I will be agreeable.
I will look my best, speak in well-modulated voice, be courteous and considerate.

I will not find fault with friend, relative or colleague.
I will not try to change or improve anyone other than myself.

I will have a program. I might not follow it exactly, but I will have it.
I will save myself from two enemies, hurry and indecision.

I will do a good turn and keep it secret. If anyone finds out, it won't count.

I will do two things I don't want to do. Just for exercise.

I will believe in myself.
I will give my best to the world and feel confident that the world will give it's best to me.
