Here is the final line of the Optimist Creed:
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and to happy in the presence of trouble.
When I look at the optimist creed I don't think of it so much as optimistic thinking as I do a vision for living our lives. What if we didn't let ourselves get bogged down by worry or fear? Would that make a difference in our lives? How much do we get stopped because of fear or worry. I must admit that I do at times, I still worry during the real lean months, get fearful over often little things.
What causes someone to worry or be fearful of something? Lack of Vision. Think about it. When our visions are strong enough worry or fear have nothing to latch onto. It is only when we loose sight of where we are headed and why (our Mission) that worry and fear start to consume us.
Here is my vision - To be known the world over for ConsciousSuccess™
Here is my mission:
Help individuals thrive by creating a spirit of ConsciousSuccess™ through self-knowledge.
When I start to go into worry or fear, my vision and mission can pull me forward.
What is your vision and mission and how are you using it?
