Peace. That's what we want in our lives and for the world. When I'm at the ocean, I feel an incredible calm and the tenet from the Optimist Creed, "to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind," reigns. That's why I wanted to share that peaceful, easy feeling with you.
And just for good measure, here's the rest of the Optimist Creed:
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.
