Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration
The focus for today is: I choose to expect the most favorable outcome.
Optimism is defined as "a disposition or tendency to look on the more favorable side of events or conditions and to expect the most favorable outcome." (Dictionary.com)
Some may call that idealistic, naïve, or Pollyannaish, but without a positive vision of our goal how can we ever hope to attain it. If we start out with the thought that we can't succeed, as Henry Ford stated, "whether you think you can, or you think you can't -- you're right.”
Optimism is one of our most important tools on the road of life. Not blind "nothing will ever go wrong" optimism, but rather the one that says, "even though things may not always take place the way I would prefer, I trust that everything will work out for the highest good".
