Trust and faith are related concepts. But there is another word that is not at all similar to them, but has a very close meaning. Credo is the Latin form meaning "I believe". And then it says exactly what the person believes. It is easy to see the similarities between the words "credit" and "creed" - what do they have in common? When a person is given a loan, it means that he is trusted. It is no coincidence that banks so carefully check everyone who comes Decide whether to trust.
They are all so...
Credo is, in the modern sense, a concise expression of human values. Some knowledge about the world that has already been experimentally tested in life. A developed system of credo develops in a person by the middle of life, and individual elements begin to form at the age of 21-28 years.
Of course, beliefs can be absurd. For example, that all men are a separate species of odd-toed ungulates. Or that all women are necessarily bad people of easy behavior. This is also a credo.
Vital Information
From actual knowledge of reality, the concept differs in that it has practical value. Both men and women who profess the beliefs indicated above try not to communicate with the opposite sex, or at least not be very fascinated, so that later there will be no disappointments. That is, simple knowledge about something, even having a basis in the practical experience of a person, cannot always be considered a credo. A mandatory practical component is required. Otherwise, the word will be mentioned out of place.
Good taste in the tongue
You should not mention the concept in everyday conversations - it sounds too pretentious. However, in solemn situations or in letters, it is quite possible to afford it. The meaning of the word credo implies the position of the teacher in relation to the student. Not everyone will agree to endure instructions, so only the appropriate use of this, undoubtedly high, concept will be considered good form.
Quote contemporaries!
If "quotes from dead people" do not offend your taste, it is quite possible to use the word "creed" with them. This, of course, is debatable - is it even worth indulging in other people's phrases taken out of context.
It seems that this justifies itself only in cases of deep and little-known thoughts, but there are few such in the age of the Internet. However, we can recommend pulling apart our contemporary Niklas Nassim Taleb for quotes. He has very bright and strong thoughts, at the same time, individual phrases have not yet been erased.
So different
And now for the examples. What are the creeds? that credos should be short. Aphorism is good, but sometimes it is impossible to simplify. Of course, the classic “as long as I breathe, I hope” is fine, but there can also be such a creed: “Love created our world, it moves with its breath, and lives, and continues.” Long, but very close to the beliefs of Dante, who believed that love is the cause of the movement of the sun and other luminaries.
Created by pain
Creeds are never easy, they come from multiple mistakes and failures, not victories at all. That is why young people have so few creeds. And the mature ones have a whole system.
Moreover, the higher the intellect, the more complex the credo, the more profound the concepts. In old age, a person comes to simplicity, but this simplicity must be endured - that is why it is interesting to communicate with older people who have lived a rich and active life. People of a high level of development, even in old age, do not slide into repeating the same boring stories for everyone. Sometimes it remains only to marvel at how numerous and simple are the creeds of some bright personalities who have lived to advanced years.
Creed can support you in a difficult situation. From the point of view of psychology, this is not a word, it is a model, a model of response. And only you decide how best to achieve your goal, what beliefs to use in order for life to be worthy.
Just typed these interesting thoughts. Each credo is carefully tested on personal experience. Be sure to print this information and read for 30 days 2 times a day!
So, 20 creeds for a successful life:
- Implement the received valuable information immediately into life, there is no point in accumulating information without the practice of implementation.
- Take responsibility for everything that happens to you in life. Do not try to change the world, everything that surrounds you is a reflection of your inner convictions. By changing your beliefs, you will change the world.
- Save time, it is the only irreplaceable resource.
- Protect your mind: don't watch TV, don't read negative news, don't associate with negative people.
- Consciously shape your environment: surround yourself with people who pull you up to your goals. Do not communicate with people who drag you down, even if you are attached to them, you have one life, do not change your life for imaginary obligations of communication and affection.
- Think carefully before giving the floor. Weigh all the pros and cons. Dare to say “no”. But once you've given your word, keep it no matter what.
- Be grateful to those who deserve gratitude. Love those who deserve love. Help those who deserve help. By doing the opposite, you lie and harm those you help. deceive them by depriving them of adequate feedback.
- Self-confidence develops only as a result of fulfilling the commitments made to oneself. A person who does not keep promises made to himself loses confidence. A person who is rigidly true to his word - increases self-confidence.
- Set ambitious goals. Embed your goals in the subconscious, only goals embedded in the subconscious become reality. Once the subconscious mind has accepted the goal, trust your intuition, let the subconscious mind do its job.
- Plan on paper the next day on the evening of the previous one.
- Make a Visualization Board, place images of your goals on it, write down the monetary income that you want to achieve in the near future. Hang the board next to your computer so you can always see it with your peripheral vision.
- Visualize your dreams for at least 3 minutes every day.
- Say affirmations, write them down on the player and listen while traveling in transport. Remember that there is a time delay between "subconscious target capture" and reality, be patient.
- Expect little results from little effort. Give your 110%. Only SUPER efforts create real results in life!
- Be honest with yourself. Self-deception and silence about problems cause the most suffering in life. Tell yourself honestly: “Yes, I have a problem …, in order to solve it, you need to get rid of the following limiting beliefs: …. and replace them with new ones: ... ". The results never lie, if you are poor, then you have negative beliefs about money, if you are sick, then there is a negative about health. By hiding the problem, you deprive yourself of the chance to develop.
- Work on your thinking every day. Only by changing your thinking, attitudes, beliefs you change your life.
- Do not judge people, they are what they are, take care of yourself. Do not teach, but silently show by example. This is the only way to change others.
- Do not lie, lies always come back and hurt their creator very much.
- Consider yourself as a part of a common organism (city, country, planet, universe). Develop and help the body, it will repay you with kindness, resources, money, success.
- Don't radiate the energy of "need", but radiate the energy of "gratitude". Need slows down progress, creates restrictions, deprives of freedom. Gratitude frees up resources, improves mood, makes free!
I will be very grateful to you for your comments!
It's no secret that the life credo of great people is one hundred percent faith in themselves and success. The great ones never doubt and know for sure that sooner or later they will find themselves in the destination that they have planned for themselves.
All great people had a dream. Some people think that dreams are a waste of time, but the more we dream, the closer we are to a total improvement in our lives. The thing is that if a person does not have a dream, he does not know which way to move in order to achieve happiness and inner harmony. A dream energizes us and gives us the strength to overcome obstacles.
The life credo of great people can also be described as an opposition to stereotypes. For example, society may be dominated by the delusion that one cannot become an artist without a higher artistic education. But in reality, many great artists had little to no education. Perhaps they are a minority, but no one prevents you from becoming an outstanding person if you really want it.
One of the most important traits of successful people is resilience. If you do not know how to treat stressful situations correctly, you will not be able to achieve high results in life. Your self-esteem must always be adequately high, otherwise you will always doubt yourself and depend on the assessment of other people, you will always lose heart when someone says a rude word to you on public transport, and you will constantly seek the praise of others instead of realize your life plans. Support must always be sought in oneself. Remember that only you can best assess your personality, if only because no one knows more about you than you do.
Any problem is a source of development and reaching a new level. Look back in the past, and you will surely see dozens of situations where problems motivated you for personal growth.
If you have made a decision to achieve a goal, follow this decision relentlessly, even if the whole world is against you. If you easily retreat and listen to the opinions of the losers, you will sit in the same swamp in which they sit. Remember that most of the people around you do not want you to surpass them in some way. They are more comfortable sitting in a swamp when there are many others sitting there.
There will be many failures on the way to success. This truth must be accepted from the very beginning. Although, maybe you will be lucky and you will be able to get to your goal without a hitch. But even if you fall, you must get up and continue on your way. After all, life is a journey, not a destination. And only the one who has proved that he is worthy of success wins big victories. And this can only be proved by steadfastness, firm faith and an iron will. Those who give up quickly are not entitled to any life bonuses, because they are simply unworthy of them.
In order to get what you want out of life, it is important to constantly learn and learn new things. Life is development. If there is no development, then death is not far off. What a pity that most people forget this and stop learning after graduation.

Book Review: Michael Hart - 100 Great People...
Credo, motto... These words have become fashionable. Although not understood by everyone, especially not everyone is understood correctly. life creed? A motto is a familiar word, what do a motto and a creed have in common? We will gradually deal with the confusion.
forgotten value
Credo is originally the Latin name for the Creed prayer. After all, it begins with the word "I believe", and this is how the word "creed" itself is translated. That is, the meaning of this word was originally religious, and only later it acquired a meaning that helps a person cope with various difficulties of reality. The motto is an initially secular concept, having a motivational purpose. Credo does not call anyone to anything - it is a calm knowledge of life.
About the crisis
Often people begin to search for themselves and look into the depths of their personality closer to the age of 40. Then they suddenly realize that they lived for many years with other people's values and did not form their life credo. You can often see examples of such cases among acquaintances, especially those who grew up in Soviet times, when it was suppressed, and people lived for the sake of imposed goals. And now they are trying to find themselves in pseudo-Oriental cults that are created to extract money from naive seekers of truth.
born inside
What is a life creed? It's just a principle that works in many life situations. Usually, if a person acquires true maturity in a healthy way, then she forms a life credo on her own, these are not mottos from the Internet. The credo must be thought out by a person on his own (even if not created), felt and adapted to realities. Well, what can the credo "Never give up" give you if you have not confirmed it with a dozen observations in your life?
Life Credo…. from a joke
One of my own credos came about after I heard a joke. And then I realized that he was not talking about life at all anecdotal. In this funny story, a stupid girl asked a genie for big eyes, nails and ears. And then, when he asked why she didn’t ask for wealth, beauty and intelligence, she asked: “What, could it be?”. Since then, this expression has become my credo. I understand that we simply do not take into account the many opportunities in life. And I'm trying not to be that girl.
Time frame
Personal foundations finish forming by the age of 28. The formation of principles and credo begins at the age of 21 and continues throughout life. But it is at the age of 21-28, when the creative side of the personality is being formed, and most of the beliefs are formed. At this time, a person becomes more self-confident and stronger as a person, learns to resist adverse influences. And in adolescence, life creeds are usually still unsteady, a person voices them rarely and uncertainly. But other people's opinions matter a lot.
It takes a long time to feel and formulate our own beliefs, although society requires us to realize our “mission” almost from the age of 14. This is unrealistic, the human psyche needs to work on its problems for a long time and realize reality in the form of short formulations - a credo.
Credo is the position, faith and beliefs of a person that determine his behavior and allow him to realize himself as a person in society. People with similar life creeds, as a rule, quickly find a common language, it is easier for them to communicate with each other, they unite in groups.
The credo allows each person to go in life in a certain way, not always the “right” one. Sometimes a person's position in life pushes him onto an asocial path. But for them, it is also considered correct, from their point of view.
How is a creed formed?
These are genetic, social aspects, human environment. Genetic factors determine the temperament and behavior of a person in certain situations. The reaction to various stimuli forms a certain pattern of behavior.
Social aspects form prohibitions on certain actions in society, rules of conduct, subordination to certain groups. The environment of a person also forms his creed, since there are more suggestible personalities who adopt from the society in which they communicate, norms and rules that are not always accepted in society.
social creed
Many professions are more than others subject to the life beliefs and beliefs of a person. These are doctors, with the Hippocratic oath, each of which chooses the main one for himself. They give themselves to a profession that allows them to devote themselves to saving people's lives and health.
These are, for example, lawyers who are guided by the principle to justify their client at all costs. Teachers who, according to their convictions or vocations, devote all their time and energy to the upbringing and education of the younger generation. But there are antisocial creeds, let's consider a few of them.
Asocial creeds
Maniacs, murderers, thieves, alcoholics. These people also live according to their life beliefs, called creeds. They clearly believe in the correctness of their actions. A thief can indulge in the principle of "taking from the rich", but not always giving to the poor. The killer believes that he is ridding society of unnecessary or superfluous people.
The alcoholic is firmly convinced that only in alcohol can a solution to all problems be found, and for a while he finds it. The same goes for drug addicts. Most members of modern society reject such people, which is also dictated by their life position, their life credo. Each person lives according to their own beliefs.
Someone for himself forms them on the basis of previous mistakes, for someone these beliefs are dictated by modern society. But each person is individual, interesting. This allows our society to be diverse, to develop comprehensively.
But this dictates the need for the formation of certain laws that everyone must adhere to. These laws are designed to protect the interests and security of all components of our population from a newborn child to the interests of an entire state.
