Sharing Christian D. Larson’s “Optimist’s Creed” (a “Pay It Forward” act inspired by “The Secret”)

August 14th, 2007 by Lani Voivod

The Secret.

Please tell me you’ve seen it. And if you haven’t seen it, please tell me you’ve noticed its impact - in the media, in the Collective Conscious, in whispers and emphatic run-on testimonials among friends and colleagues, etc. - in your everyday life and the world at large.

It’s about sharing the power and spirit of The Law of Attraction. Which, in essence, is about putting forth good news, positive vibes, and the best you’ve got in ya with as many people as you can. It’s Karma and “Do Unto Others” and “What you put out comes back to you tenfold” and all that stuff.

It’s also an exquisite example of spreading ideas virally, using online technologies to get big, bold messages, missions, and ideas out to bigger, more receptive audiences…

…And all for the grander purpose of empowering individuals to create and manifest a better life for themselves and others.

It’s a quantum leap in branding, information marketing, and idea sprawl. And even though the theories and practices behind The Secret have been around for millenia, this unified wave of The Secret’s principles is just getting started.

Which is why I’m taking a moment to post “The Optimist’s Creed” here on The “A-Ha!” Blog, in the “Mood Boosters” category. Sometimes you just gotta remind yourself of the simple things, so you can get by whatever’s appearing to be an obstacle on your Tra-la-la Path to Personal Prosperity.

So here ya go!

THE OPTIMIST’S CREED

By Christian D. Larson, and modified by The Secret 2007 (Experience their version - with background music - here.)

I PROMISE MYSELF…

To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.

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

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

To look at the sunny side of everything and make my 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 I am about my own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and to 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 I meet.

To give so much time to improving myself that I 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 myself 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 my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.

 

(Hope you don’t mind, but I added my own selected bolding.)

Whatever you’ve got going on for the rest of the day, may you take it on with thundering grace and smoldering BLISS!
