The Positive Pledge
Read the pledge, choose to be positive, and make a positive impact on the world.
I pledge to be a positive person and a positive influence on others.
I promise to be positively contagious and share more smiles, laughter, encouragement, and joy with those around me.
I vow to stay positive in the face of negativity.
When I am surrounded by pessimism, I will choose optimism.
When I feel fear, I will choose faith.
When I want to hate, I will choose love.
When I want to be bitter, I will choose to get better.
When I experience a challenge, I will look for opportunity to learn and grow.
When faced with adversity, I will find strength.
When I experience a set-back, I will be resilient.
When I meet failure, I will fail forward toward future success.
With vision, hope, and faith, I will never give up and will always move forward toward my destiny.
I believe my best days are ahead of me, not behind me.
I believe I'm here for a reason and my purpose is greater than my challenges.
I believe that being positive not only makes me better, it makes everyone around me better.
So today and every day I will be positive and strive to make a positive impact on the world.
