It is time to be OPTIMISTIC. Optimism is contagious. Unfortunately, so is pessimism. You are the one who needs to make the choice; and it is a choice.
One man said that he was so optimistic that he’d go after Moby Dick in a rowboat and take the tartar sauce with him. That’s optimistic.
Vince Lombardi once said, “It’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get up. The country has been knocked down in recent months, but we all need to contribute to helping it get up. When I say “we,” I am talking about the citizens like you and me … not the politicians who really are more concerned about re-election.
If we turn our mindset to put faith, hope and love together, we can create a positive result in a negative world. Let’s get back to the basic American spirit that helped build this wonderful country through good times and bad.
An optimist counts his blessings – a pessimist discounts his. — Imogene Fey
Let’s all count our blessings.
