The Optimist Creed



http://www.livingwithcertainity.com/



I Promise Myself

To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.

I Promise Myself 

 To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet.

I Promise Myself 

 To make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.

I Promise Myself 

 To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.

I Promise Myself 

 To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.

I Promise Myself 

 To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.

I Promise Myself 

 To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

I Promise Myself 

 To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet.

I Promise Myself 

 To give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others.

I Promise Myself 

 To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,

and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

I Promise Myself 

 To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud word,

but in great deeds.

I Promise Myself 

 To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true

to the best that is in me.

Christian D. Larson (1912)

This creed was modified slightly to make it more personal to the reader, using "I" and "My" statements.

It is a good idea to copy and paste or to print a copy of this creed and read it yourself twice a day; once in the morning and then again before retiring for bed. This creed is sure to inspire, motivate and encourage you to begin each day with new hope, love and drive to be the best that you can be.
