Trying our Best

[Jitendra Hy-do-u-no-us?]

I will use my creative thinking ability to gain success in every worthwhile project that I undertake. God will help me if I also try to help myself.
 
I have buried dead disappointments in the cemeteries of yesterday. Today I will plow the garden of life with my new creative efforts. Therein I will sow seeds of wisdom, health, prosperity, and happiness. I will water them with self-confidence and faith, and will wait for the Divine to give me the rightful harvest.
 
If I reap not the harvest, I will be thankful for the satisfaction of having tried my best. I will thank God that I am able to try again and again until with His help I do succeed. I will thank Him when I have succeeded in fulfilling my heart's worthy desire.
