I saw this posted in a nail salon while I was waiting to get my nails done. I felt like I should share it with you all, because everyone can use some optimism in their lives. Read it, think on it, and try to apply this to your life. I’m sure if everyone followed The Optimist Creed, the world would be filled with better people.
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 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 countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of 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.
What are your thoughts on this creed?
