Optimist's Creed
Promise yourself:
To be strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind
To speak of 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 are you are about your own
To forget the mistakes of the past, and press on on the 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 as much time to improve yourself that you have not 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
[I was given this (above) by someone I'm sure but can't remember. I have had it for years and refer back to it regularly when I'm feeling a bit... pessimistic. Hope it helps those of you who could use a dose of optimism]
