Do
not begin the new year by recounting to yourself or others all your losses and
sorrows. Let the past go.
The
new year will give you the fabric for a fresh start in life; why dwell upon the
events of the past!
It
is your mind which makes your body sick. Let the spirit assert itself and demand
health, hope and happiness in this new year.
Forget
the money you have lost, the mistakes you have made, the injuries you have
received, the disappointments you have experienced.
Real sorrow, the sorrow which comes from the death of dear
ones, you need not forget. But think of these things as sent to enrich your
nature, and to make you more human and sympathetic. You are missing them if you
permit yourself instead to grow sad and irritable.
Do not tell me you are too old.
Age is all imagination. Ignore years and they will ignore you.
Be alive, from head to toe.
Breathe deeply, filling every cell of the lungs for at least five minutes,
morning, noon and night, and when you draw in long full breaths, believe you are
inhaling health, wisdom and success.
Anticipate good health. If it
does not come at once, consider it a mere temporary delay, and continue to
expect it.
Regard any physical ailment as a
passing inconvenience, no more. Never for an instant believe you are permanently
ill or disabled.
Think of yourself as on the
threshold of unparalleled success. A whole clear glorious year lies before you!
In a year you can regain health, fortune, and happiness!
Push on!
