Be Optimistic
"I intend to live forever - so far, so good."
- Stephen Wright
...Poke holes of optimism and faith through the veils of fear and illusion. Shift into a different way of viewing the world. Even though you may not have some of the worldly security nets that you might like, there's nevertheless a higher security - a whole, bigger security that is beyond the worries of this material world. With this kind of faith and optimism, no matter what happens on the worldly level, your soul can remain resplendent and fulfilled in meaningful and powerful ways.
We all have challenging circumstances to go through in life, and we all have unrealized potentials and dreams to realize and achieve. Use the power of optimism to remain anchored in spiritual happiness no matter what. Find something positive in anything and in everything. Seek and realize the goodness in life. Allow your deepest aspirations to blossom forth, regardless of whether they are growing in a clear, pristine lake or in a muddy swamp. Trust that your challenges are coming to you for a blessed reason, and see if you can figure out some of what that reason may be.
"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty."
- Sir Winston Churchill
Always remember that everything is good, and let everything always be good. Remember, there will always be more. And when there is no more, there will be something else.
