Through Skys Eyes

I am not sure if many of you are familiar to the optimist creed by Christand D Larson written over 80 or 90 years ago. His version say to promise yourself to be these things, mine says “I AM” those things.

So here is my version of the creed.

I AM so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.

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

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

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

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

I AM just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I AM about my own.

I FORGIVE the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

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

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

I AM too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

I think well of MYself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud word, but in great deeds.

I 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, TO BE TRUE TO WHO I AM AND TRUE TO GOD

I believe if you can promise yourself to come as close to any of the above, that your life and many others (for you will never realize how many lives you really do touch, just by living yours) will dramatically change, as we begin to see what is more important in our life.

Life is about living not about making a living or bringing life to the past. I believe we must bring life to the future by learning from the past and living life today. This will bring up a new positive and strong generation, not filled with hate but with love and respect.
