In these challenging times where the excitement of launching a new product, the satisfaction in closing new channels of distribution, the discovery of a new idea that can improve soil health, can all seem dampened by the confusions swirling throughout the business world, the challenges that seem insurmountable, the intrusion of one’s privacy. It is time for a bit of magic that may brighten your day.
One may have been told that looking at life, both business and personal, through rose-colored glasses was distorting one’s vision, that reality is meant to be cold and unforgiving. The intricacies of business may seem daunting. The pressures to lead one’s company, one’s group, one’s family may become exhausting with only a dim light at the end of the tunnel.
But you believe in your dream, the vision and plans you have laid out for your success. You feel a miracle will come as a result of your efforts.
Allow me to share a bit of wisdom that can bring the hope and sparkle back to your noble endeavors.
Indulge in a jolt of optimism. By definition, optimism is the doctrine that the existing world is the best of all possible worlds and assumes that good will prevail. By derivation from the Latin optimum means the greatest good, and with this as your philosophical basis, the challenges and counter- efforts can be diminished and re-prioritized and addressed while celebrating your successes.
Many a philosopher and leader, smarter than me, shared these wise thoughts on optimism:
“Choose to be optimistic. It feels better.” Dalai Lama
“One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn’t pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.’ Lucille Ball
“Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.” Helen Keller
“I always like to look on the optimistic side of life.” Walt Disney
