Increase to All

  The world would be a better place if we all adopted this as our creed to live by one day at a time.

Increase to All

I desire to radiate health, cheerfulness,

calm courage and good will. I wish to live

without hate, whim, jealousy, envy, fear.

 I wish to be simple, honest, frank, natural,

clean in mind and clean in body, unaffected

— ready to say I do not know, if it be so,

and to meet all men on an absolute equality

— to face any obstacle and meet every

difficulty unabashed and unafraid.

 I wish others to live their lives, too — up

to their highest, fullest and best. To that

end I pray that I may never meddle, interfere,

dictate, give advice that is not wanted, or

assist when my services are not needed.

 If I can help people, I’ll do it by giving

them a chance to help themselves; and if I can

uplift or inspire, let it be by example,

inference, and suggestion, rather than by

injunction and dictation. That is to say, I

desire to be radiant — to radiate life.

  Elbert Hubbard.
