My friends say, "you always seem happy," and in that saying they tell a truth, for I am happy often, very, very often and between times I make myself seem to be happy. This making myself "seem to be happy" gives me serenity, contentment, fortitude, and the very "seeming" soon blossoms into a reality of the condition I seem to be in.
You can be happy often and when you are not happy, just seem to be happy anyway; it will help you much.
SELF ACCUSATION
If You Do This You Will Always Be Miserable
Many have the habit of keeping their minds on their weaknesses or their shortcomings.
If they read of some one doing a great thing or making a worth-while accomplishment they say, "I never could do such a thing."
These persons are always saying, "I never have luck. I can't do this. I can't do that."
Always knocking, always thinking can't instead of can, will make fear, irresoluteness, uncertainty and weakness of character.
