I was blessed to know a man who truly lived his life by this creed. And he wasn't just trying, he was actually doing it. His spirit was, and is, an inspiration and is what I hope to embody myself.
Promise Yourself -
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 to 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 achievements 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 noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
Thanks be to those who inspire us to be better people and to live for things greater than ourselves.

What a wonderful creed to live by. It reminds me of a woman I used to work with. She was a VERY cheerful person and saw the good in everything and everyone. I thought she was a lovely person, but unfortunately some co-workers didn't understand her happiness and would tease her, trying to 'burst her bubble'. It saddens me to think that those co-workers are influencing their children with their negativity.
Anyway (before I start rambling on here, lol) thanks for sharing this uplifting creed.
