A credo is defined as a statement of one’s beliefs and holdings on how they can manage their lives successfully by implementing these into their actions.

Every individual in this planet has their own specific purposes as to why they are in their positions or situations at the current state. Connections with each other are made possible through relatable interactions with different individuals that we were destined to meet, thus following this would be how we can sustain morals and keeps everything on the low while having content in ourselves from everything that we do and have at the moment.

This is where the creed will take in place. Despite of its cult following and doing for determined people, it is a good start to build up one’s beliefs and affirmations to incorporate into their everyday lives.

Being raised in a Catholic household and studying in a Catholic run institute and university for most of my academic journey,its no question that i would be under such influence in doing this creed where i state what i firmly believe in. My creed would consist of three things:

  1. Live your own life with your intended purpose
  2. expect nothing & appreciate everything
  3. be who you truly with full honesty.

MY CREDO

I believe that our lives are given for an individual purpose
Finding it with great influence of what we truly are interested in
Is key for success not only in the workspace
But for the entirety of one’s life, from start to finish

Striving for perfection is good, but make sure that one isn’t doing it for status
But merely for self claim and satisfaction through our personal standards

I believe that one should always do good and just
No matter what the situation calls for
Expect nothing and appreciate everything
This in return, one will feel good about themselves and rather
Having the token of appreciation is the trust and friendship built

Lastly I believe that one should live life with full honesty
Because what’s the point of living your best life if you’re
Lying to yourself and others thinking that you’re this wannabe person
When in return, being a laughingstock who has the sense of seeking approval

From here it would be a standard for me to live with such basic affirmations which i have built up for when i’ll be achieving my endeavors in the near future.
