I hit enter too soon! I also wanted to add that I once worked at a start up that over indexed in the kind of optimism that I think you're NOT talking about. It felt like a head in the clouds cult where you were shamed for realism. I appreciate your thorough description of what a healthy optimism looks like and it has challenges my perceptions and made me wonder if what I witness at the start-up was truly optimism after all?
An important reminder. Please continue. Happy holidays.
Optimism is as essential as any other human need to eat, sleep, move, and can refresh the body along with the mind!
Here, here! Well said.
I appreciate the practical reflections at a time of year where I am looking for journaling prompts.
