PROMISE YOURSELF

THE OPTIMISTS CREED

I’m sure many have found this before me. For those of you that haven’t, I just had to bring it to your attention. I love this - so I thought I’d share it with you.

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. 

The Optimist Creed by Christian Larson

Since discovering this, doing research with regards to the  HELENA project, on http://www.optimist.org   I then found it on the http://www.thesecret.tv/optimists-creed/optimists-creed.pdf . As The Secret in my mind is the most powerful personal development book/film there is, then to find this there, just meant to me … lets get as many people as possible to read it, to enjoy it, to live it.
