The Power of Optimism

The Power of Optimism

Recently I wrote a Tribute to Isabella, my dear sister who passed away. Several of you reached out to me during this difficult season and it really meant a lot to me. Thank you all very much for your words of comfort, sympathy, and encouragement. I continue to struggle and grieve over her passing and know that with time I will heal through the process. If you happen to be going through a similar experience, hurt, or grieving over something, remember that time heals all wounds and hurts. I am looking forward to the time that I can put this experience behind me.

I am a very optimistic person and believe that life must go on and that to fulfill my mission, calling, aspiration and vision, I must begin to tune in to the optimistic channel. Optimism takes us through the challenging times and optimism reframes what we are going through and shifts the focus to what we are going to. I have a choice to make during this season of my life and you have a choice to make as well. If there is any advice to provide at this time, and I don’t know your story, my advice is to keep walking, keep on moving, keep dreaming, keep working, keep looking at the bright side of life, and before you know it, you will get to your destination. There is significant power in being optimistic. Optimism is not about denying the facts but rather knowing the facts and yet deciding to refocus, reframe, and rethink what you are going through.

You have a great life ahead of you and it's important to continuously tune into the optimism channel so that you can stay energized through the vicissitudes of life. Have a fantastic week and keep moving forward.
