The Possibility of Optimism
(…………… or, the Optimism of Possibility)
Is your glass half full or half empty?
The pessimist sees what’s present today and can only imagine or foreshadow eventual decline. S/he’s the perpetual ‘harbinger of doom’.
To the pessimist, the glass is already half empty – and it’s only going to get worse.
The optimist, however, understands that there’s a difference between today and tomorrow.
The optimist’s glass is half full ……………………… with plenty of room for more.
The optimist’s vision is based on possibility – in the future tense – not the present tense.
Pessimists have trouble making room for possibility – as a result of which possibility has trouble finding room for pessimists.
As soon as we realise that there is a difference between ‘right now’ and ‘what might happen next’ we can move ourselves to the posture of possibility – to the self-fulfilling engine of optimism.
May I respectfully suggest that you …………… Act Accordingly.
