Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage and of true progress.
Nicholas Murray Butler
The optimist and the pessimist, the difference is quite droll - 
the optimist sees the doughnut while the pessimist sees the hole. I learned that little rhyme at the tender age of ten and decided that I always wanted to be the one to see (and eat) the doughnut. Without optimism, we have no hope, no desire, and no reason to continue in the daily struggles of life. I have referred to hope and righteous desire in previous posts. Without hope or optimism that tomorrow will be better, we would have no desire to try harder today. It has been said that small opportunities are the beginnings of great enterprises. Without optimism, the great enterprises would never develop. The opportunities would lie unheeded and be another tragic death. Without optimism for your bettered future, you would not look for options for healing and treatment. The very nature of your continued success is dependent upon how optimistic you are about your chances of healing. You could not honestly pursue the cause of healing or treatment if you have did not have hope that your life could get better. This post is just that short and sweet. Please see the doughnut - eat the doughnut - and enjoy every bite! I know I do.
