I have found so much joy and peace
since I first learned how best
to embrace my inner self.

And of all the several rules
that I have decided to follow,
the most enduring and secure
are those that involve
self-belief, love and
gratification.

These may be summarized
in three simple maxims
and one simple word:
the word is “nice”.

Rule number one is to say
nice things about myself.
Rule number two is to do
nice things for myself.

Rule number three is
the most important of all
and if I obey the dictates
of this final rule, I may safely
disregard all the others.

Rule number three is simply
to have someone else
say and do nice things to me
and, above all, to
buy nice things for me.
