9 Promises That Can Bring Happiness

I was reading from John Wooden's book "Wooden" and one of his points was on these promises that he would make to himself daily that lead him to a life full of happiness and joy, which I think is what we are all truly seeking at the end of the day.
They are so simple yet so profound if only we keep these promises daily.

Here they are:

1) Promise yourself that you will talk health, happiness and prosperity as often as possible.
2) Promise yourself to make all of you friends know there is something in them that is special and that you value.
3) Promise to think only of the best , to work only for the best, and to expect only the best in yourself and others.
4) Promise to be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
5) Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can upset your peace of mind.
6) Promise to forget the mistakes of the past and press on to greater achievements in the future.
7) Promise to wear a cheerful appearance at all times and give every person you meet a smile.
8) Promise to give so much time improving yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
9) Promise to be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit trouble  to press on you.

Sometimes the littlest things can produce the largest results if only a little attention is paid. Start committing to doing the little things right today by making the promise to choose to be the best you, you can be.
