A Perfect Reminder to Stay Optimistic

This is one of my favorite inspirations. I actually have it as a background on my laptop as a constant reminder.

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.

What We Can Do When We Stand Together

What are we capable of? Do we look the other way or choose to stand together and do something?

I absolutely love this new song and the thought-provoking video by Nickelback. (*confession – I am a huge Nickelback fan and also a fan of the messages in many of their songs.)
