Optimism

I saw this on another blog and loved it so I wanted to share...

The Optimist Creed

by Christian Larson

Promise Yourself

To be so strong that nothing

can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and

prosperity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel that

there is something worthwhile in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything

and make your optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only

for the best and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success

of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press

on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful expression at all times and

give a smile to every living creature you meet.

To give so much time to improving yourself

that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too

noble for anger, too strong for fear and

too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact

to the world, not in loud word, but in great deeds.

To live in the faith that the whole world is on your

side, so long as you are true to the best that is in you.
