An Optimist is someone that believes in the future, they believe the future will be better and that ultimately all things will work for their good and for the good of mankind.
Many people find this hard to believe but this could be the greatest period in your life, depending on what you believe and accept as reality. Remember this, for every negative event in our life a seed of equal or greater benefit is sowed.
What does that mean? If COVID 19 forces you to stay home, you can start by thanking God because you can now re-tool yourself and bring out the best in you that you’ve been waiting to do your entire life but never had the time. What seems to be the worst period of our life could be one of the best periods of our life, if and only if, we embrace optimism and believe in the best, rather than fear the worst.
Now, I know many of you may be thinking that’s just Herb being the great Optimist- and that is true. I have been an Optimist (club member) for more than 40 years. I love building optimist clubs all over the world. I love living our Optimist Creed- my three favorite tenets are: 1) to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind; 2) To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true, and 3) to think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best! I have become an Optimist in real life and not just a member of the Optimist Club.
I invite you to have a dose of what I am drinking today. Consider the benefits of being an Optimist in real life – you worry less, you become healthier, you can become wealthier, and as a bonus you even love better. So, here is an invitation to all of you my friends and your friends and their friends; become an Optimist today! If you need a little inspiration, I invite you to check out the rest of this website and download a free Optimists Creed or better yet Join us (and go write your book, star a new social media company or go make love LOL,)
Have a wonderful day and be sure to pass this along
President Herb
