The Optimist Creed

by dnichols
6 replies
This is a great daily read to help keep you strong and focused on your goals.

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 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 achievement 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 moble for anger too strong for fear and to
happy to permit the presence of trouble.

Don,

    Very well written, a beautiful way to live.

    I love this poem by Mother Teresa


    People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
    If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
    If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.
    If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.
    What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.
    If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
    The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.
    Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.
    In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

    That's the best one IMO. We improve own health, happiness and prosperity by uplifting others.

    ultimately all these things originate from our minds,we should take extreme care of what we think,take full responsibility of every thought and should nourish our mind,as we nourish our body,by thinking beautiful thoughts,forgiving others and yourself and stay miles away from hatred.
