Optimism

Defined as hopefulness and confidence about the future or the successful outcome of something is elusive and challenging for most people during these uncharted and tumultuous times. During multiple conversations over the last week, it’s been informative how many people are uncertain and pessimistic(the opposite of optimistic) about our future. I choose not to associate closely with them.

You have a choice as well; optimism or pessimism, up or down, half empty or half full glass of water. The choice is yours. I choose to believe in the best in people, circumstances, and society. Circumstances must change as they’re based on events, but somethings won’t and can’t change. He is in charge. I am His favorite child, as you are.

Believe in Him. His will. His plans for you and your purpose. These circumstances will change and when we emerge on the other side, we will be stronger, more focused, and more determined. Our experiences will strengthen our resolve.

Today, Monday, March 23, 2020, I am grateful that:

My faith is growing. It’s getting stronger. Things will continue to work out positively, they have to. I’m doing what He put me on the planet to get done. Are you?

D.C. continued to move forward with the writing process. We had a conversation about taking advantage of this opportunity and we both agreed, now’s the time.

When I am willing to ask for assistance, I receive assistance. It’s challenging for a bunch of the people I’m closely associated with at the moment, but others are flush. They have discretionary income, assets they’ve accumulated, and are comfortable with their current financial insulation. Circumstances of a week or several months won’t affect them and their lifestyle. I need to position myself as they have.

Can you see the positives in today? This virus? Your current situation?

Will you bring positivity to others?

How will you transmit your optimism?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
