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. 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 shall be with you. Saint Paul's letter to the Philippians, Chapter 4

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.
