The Creed for Optimists

Clouds over El Paso, Texas

1. 
Promise yourself
to be so strong that 
NOTHING
 disturbs your peace of mind.


2. 
Promise yourself
 to talk health, 
happiness and prosperity
 to every person you meet.


3. 
Promise yourself
to make all your friends
 feel that there is
something in them.






4. 
Promise yourself
 to look at the sunny side of everything
and make your optimism come true.


5. 
Promise yourself
 to think only of the best,
to work only for the best,
and to expect only the best.

6. 
Promise yourself
to be just as enthusiastic about
the success of others
as you are about your own.

7.
Promise yourself
 to forget the mistakes of the past
 and
to press on to
 the greater achievements of the future.

8.
Promise yourself
 to wear a friendly countenance
 at all times
and
 give every living creature you meet
a smile.

9.
Promise yourself
to spend so much time improving yourself
that you have no time left to criticize others.

10. 
Promise yourself
 to be
 too large for worry,
too noble for anger,
too strong for fear,
and
 too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
