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 st...art 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!
