We should give so much time to improve ourself that we have no time to criticize others This last sentence was written by Christian D. Larson.He was born in 1874 and was a New Thought leader and teacher, as well as a author of metaphysical and New Thought books. "The Optimist Creed" was one of his great peaces of work. Read every line slowly and let it sink in 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 worthwhile 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 expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature you meet. To give so much time to improving 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. To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud word, but in great deeds. To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side, so long as you are true to the best that is in you If every person could live by this we would have world peace. Unfortunately we live in a world were we are being exposed to negative information everyday through the media. We watch news with horrible content of murder, crime, scandals and we watch horror and action movies where people are being tortured and killed. This is all triggering negative thoughts. However it is up to us how we choose to deal with this flow of negative information. As Eileen Caddy said: "Your reaction to these is vitally important. You can absorb them and allow them to weigh you down until you become part of the negativity around you, or you can fill the situation with your love and help to transmute it. Negativity is like a dark cloud that can envelop you unless the light within you is strong enough to dissolve it. Let your light shine forth at all times. The more of us who do this and see its importance, the more quickly will all negativity and darkness disappear, and peace reign on earth. So let there be light and more light within each one of us."
