“Optimism doesn’t mean everything is going to be great. It means that we can respond to everything with greatness.” (Elimelech Goldberg) from the blog - http://jackswinningwords.blogspot.com/ Perhaps this saying that Jack featured today on his Jack’s Winning Words blog should be today’s words to live by. Certainly we all have many opportunities these days to respond to things happening around us that are not great. We can’t change them, but we can change how we respond to them. I sometimes struggle with staying positive in these times, but it is a struggle worth continued effort. One has only to look about to be able to find people in situations that are worse than ours. Doing something to improve their lot will also improve yours. The key is to do something and not to just sit still, wallowing in self-pity. So, find some things to respond to with greatness today and see if you don’t feel better at the end of the day.
