Just something I wanted to share with those who may be feeling negative, low, unmotivated and hopeless :]

The Optimist Creed by Christian Larson

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 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 word, 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.

thanks...

But by following this creed, you cannot make logical decisions because it takes out evaluating the situation.
In other words, you wouldn't be prepared in various situations...

I think it's important to note that while it is beneficial to be optimistic, one must also think realistically.

Honestly, as humans I think it would be quite difficult to dedicate yourself to EVERYTHING it says 100% in EVERY situation... I would personally follow this to an extent. If someone killed my family, I wouldn't give them "a smile"!

Otherwise, happiness is key to living a fufilled life

So in other words, just a reminder on how to stay positive.
well said =]
