While reading Joe Vitale’s Attract Money Now, I came across the Optimist Creed which was originally published in the 1912 book by Christian D. Larson called Your Forces and How to Use Them. I loved Larson’s creed so much, I’m sharing it below. Use this as your own manifesto as you continue to pursue success.

Promise yourself:

• To be so strong that nothing can disturb your piece of mind.
• To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.
• To make all your friends feel there is something worthwhile 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 expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature you meet.
• To give so much time to improving 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.
• To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in great deeds.
• To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side, so long as you are true to the best that is in you.
