Begin the Day with Friendliness

There is a person I know who has problems with everyone they come in contact with. Everyone they meet is either too fat, too thin, too obnoxious, too something...,they always had something negative to say, for this person nothing was ever right and isn't it a shame that they had to deal with such awkwardness on a daily basis.
This person has very few friends. The individual once asked me why this was so. I told them to be more friendly.

Begin the day with friendliness
and only friends you'll find
Yes, greet the dawn with happiness
keep happy thoughts in mind

salute the day with peaceful thoughts
and peace will fill your heart
begin the day with joyful soul
and joy will be your part

begin the day with friendliness
keep friendly all day long
keep in your soul a friendly thought
your heart a friendly song

have in your mind a word of cheer
for all who come your way
and they bless you too in turn
and wish you ,"happy day."

Begin each day with friendly thoughts
and as the day goes on
keep friendly, loving good and kind
just as you were at dawn

the day will be a friendly one
and then at night you'll find
that you were happy all day long
through friendly thoughts in mind.
