The Importance of Being Optimistic
"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty."—Winston Churchill
As I am about to embark on 14 hour car trip with all four kids in tow, I am compelled (FORCED) to channel my powerful inner optimist. We’ll be driving through seven states. Everyone I speak to shakes their head and utters, “Good luck with that.” Which to be honest, does not feel encouraging, nor does it feel like they are really sending positive vibes my way. What it really feels like is that they are internally muttering, “Better you than me, sucker.”
