How Full Is The Glass Anyway?

We all know the economy will get even better and that we'll all look back at this time in history with a whole new perspective. In fact it's already improved from just a year ago! What keeps us strong and keeps a nation from failing is hope fueld by optimisism.

"The optimist proclaims we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true." - James Cabell, American novelist and journalist (1879-1958)

What is optimism? It is a belief that things in our past were good for us and taught us lessons even if they were hard. It is also the belief that things will be better in the future.

Contrasts between optimism and pessimism: Optimism breathes life into you each day. Pessimism drains you. Optimism helps you to take needed risks. Pessimism plays it safe and never accomplishes much. Optimism empowers those around you. Pessimism drags them down. Optimism inspires people to greater heights. Pessimism deflates people to new lows. The only way that optimism and pessimism are the same is that they are both self-fulfilled. We choose to look at the world the way we want. Have you ever met a successful pessimist? Become an optimist and see your world change before your eyes. Remember, the glass is always half full -- we're halfway there!

"What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway." - Kent M. Keith
