Catalyst
Optimism is believing the next step can lead somewhere worthwhile.
Insight
Optimism isn’t blind positivity, it’s fuel. Thinking optimistically means trusting that your effort has meaning, even if the destination isn’t within sight. It allows you to approach challenges as open doors instead of dead ends, and it shifts your energy toward solutions. Optimism doesn’t erase effort! It makes effort sustainable because you trust that something good is possible through it. In fact, the most effective form of optimism pairs vision with realism. It sees problems for what they are, but also sees yourself as capable of finding a way through them. By holding onto optimism, you create the ability to keep moving forward not in spite of setbacks, but because of them.
Reflection
