I will greet this day with love in my heart.

For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures.

Muscle can split a shield and even destroy life but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of men and until I master this art I will remain no more than a peddler in the market place.

I will make love my greatest weapon and none on whom I call can defend against its force.

My reasoning they may counter;my speech they may distrust;my apparel they may disapprove; my face they may reject;and even my bargains may cause them suspicion; yet my love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest clay.

I will greet this day with love in my heart.

How will I do this?

Henceforth will I look on all things with love and I will be born again.

I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit.

I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars.
