If you are an opti-mystic, you have already embraced this opportunity. You are energized by the challenge and are reaching out to people with a reinvigorated sense of compassion and guidance. This is your time.
The Opti-Mystic's Oath
I will act as a conduit of hope and encouragement to all I meet.
I will intentionally displace fear and loathing with hope and resourcefulness.
I will look trouble in the eye and devise a plan to survive and a plan to thrive.
I will innovate and create tomorrow's answers today.
I will bring the full force of my principles and personality to every client conversation.
I will live with purpose, pursue things with passion and reflect with gratitude each day.
I am immensely grateful for this opportunity to prove what is in me.
To close, I will share a thought that helps me fuel the fires of my own opti-mysticism when I am tempted to wither, bow or sink into pools of self-pity. Viktor Frankl, who suffered greatly at the hands of the Nazis, taught that in the most difficult of times it is our attitude that brings mending to our life because others are watching and seeing an example of how life should be lived.
