I could tell you, but then you'd kill me. Seriously though, here:

Here and now I say that the past does not matter. If there is a higher power watching over me that does not matter. If there is such a thing as destiny that does not matter. In this moment I make a decision that supersedes these things. Starting now my life is my own. I will forge my will into an unbreakable tool which I will use to make my life what I want it to become. I will constantly question myself, “How can I do better?” Then I will do better. Every choice, every action will serve as an improvement, and will bring me closer to the excellence and balance that is my goal.

I am a living being, not a machine. I am alive and I know what that means. Life is the power and the responsibility to give more than I receive, to put out more than I take in. In short, I will create a world better, more complete, than the one given to me. Everyday is an opportunity to improve the world I live in, the community and the people I share this world with, and myself.

I think of a better world as one in which every part of that world has a place, fits into that place, and enjoys filling its place in the whole. I will endeavor to help others find their place and shape it to their fitting. But most importantly I will try to add to the joy of life my neighbor feels every day.

I will start by doing a kindness to another at every opportunity and by spreading optimism, enthusiasm and happiness. I will remain open to others so that I may continue to learn and find new ways to improve myself and the world. Every choice I make will make me a better person and every action I take will make this a better world.
