BE UP AROUND PEOPLE YOU LOVE

Your job from now on, is to be up around people you love. No more
moaning. No more complaining. No more grumbling. These things will no
more issue from your lips. You are, from now on, the positive one, the
perpetually cheerful, always up one around whom good things revolve
and happen. When asked how are you, instead of saying, 'Can't
complain, mustn't grumble, in the future you will say, 'Fine, good,
marvellous. No matter how crummy you feel, no matter what sort of a
day you've had, no matter how low, down or fed up you are. And do you
know, the interesting thing is that when you do say 'Marvellous', even
if you don't feel it, you'll find something positive to say to follow
it up with. Whereas if you'd said 'Been better', then the follow-up
thoughts would be all negative. Try it -honestly, it really works. In
future, right from today, from this very second, you have become the
one who is always jolly, up cheerful. Why? Because someone has to, or
everybody will want to end it all. This life is hard and treacherous.
Someone has to lift the burden, lift the spirits, lift the gloom. So
who's it going to be? You, that's who.
