Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Do not be
anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the
peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (St. Paul's letter
to the Philippians, Chapter 4) Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
And the God of peace will be with you.

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.
