         WELCOME TO THE FRANKFORT OPTIMIST CLUB  
     FRANKFORT KENTUCKY

    
        State Capital Building

Welcome to the 55th year of Frankfort Optimist Club!
We have a long proud history of serving the youth of our community. Now comes the time to ask ourselves if we can do even more to share our optimism with the kids all around us. Our mission, as Optimist volunteers, is to BRING OUT THE BEST IN KIDS. Picture a boy and girl with both hands reaching for stars. A child remaining for the stars will not get a handful of mud! To accomplish this mission Optimist Volunteers are going to have to be committed to talking bold steps with new innovative programs and activities and raise the funs to carry them out. In the next few weeks we will be exploring some new ideas and projects. Of course all suggestions are welcome.

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 on 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 not 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.

     Many have found inspiration in The Optimist Creed. In hospitals, the creed has been used to help patients recover from illness. In locker rooms, coaches have used it to motivate their players.

     Optimist International adopted this creed in 1922. It was originally published in 1912 in a book titled: "Your Forces and How to Use Them." The author was Christian D. Larson, a prolific writer and lecturer who believed that people have tremendous latent powers, which could be harnessed for success with the proper attitude.
