Learn From Your Mistakes

Today is Monday, so this post is on self confidence. 

 

As you know, optimism is a key component of self confidence.  Several weeks ago, I did a post on The Optimist Creed.  It was a hit.  Several people asked for a copy.  The first post was so well received that I’ve decided to do a series of posts on The Optimist Creed.  This is another in that series. 

 

If you would like a copy of The Optimist Creed suitable for framing, please send an email to Bud@BudBilanich.com with the words “Optimist Creed” in the subject line.

 

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.

 

 

Last week I focused on the sixth point of The Optimist Creed.  Today, I’d like to delve into the seventh point: “Promise yourself to forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.”
