PERSONALITY POINTERS

Since it is just after New Years and some of you may not have actually broken your resolutions yet or maybe you haven’t made any yet (Try "This year I’ll stop Procrastinating") I thought I would share something I found today in a book called Personality Pointers by Jill Edwards bought this morning at the Easter Seals Rummage Sale. This is one of those pocketbook size hardbacks published by Permabooks (# P73) in the early 50’s. The cover blurb calls it "A practical guide to individual attractiveness and an aid to artistic, musical, and literary culture, written by an experienced practitioner of charm." Think of it as the literary equivalent of those classroom Mental Hygiene films you were subjected to about First Dates, Good Posture, and How to be Popular.

PESONALITY POINTERS
CREED FOR THE VALIANT LIFE

Sevenfold Technique

I believe it is my duty to myself to develop a well-rounded effective personality, using the abilities which I possess within myself.

1. I shall do something today about my health, my figure, my appearance, my voice, and my speech.

2. I shall learn something today because I believe in the state of joyous growth.

3. I shall employ the light touch today and bring joy and laughter to at least one person.

4. I shall use the gracious ways today in my contact with others.

5. I shall develop my senses a little today in the appreciation of beauty.

6. I shall have faith today in the Great Creative Force and realize that I am an important part of a great plan.

7. I shall live valiantly today.

I believe that if I develop a daily rhythm of habits in these seven fields of activity, I sahll achieve a dynamic personality and a new joy in living and I believe that by so doing I shall contribute my share toward the progress of mankind.

Words to live by people.

Valiantly yours -
