Optimism is Not Dumb

thought I would introduce a little humor in today’s email, so enjoy this one:

Optimism. While the clip is one of my all-time favorite movie lines and certainly provides a good laugh, think about how you would react if someone told you that you had a 1 in a million chance at something.

Would you automatically rule yourself out? Would you think “So, you’re saying I have a chance!” and be super excited.

What if I told you that you have a 98.75% guaranteed (Dr. Seuss reference, I read too many kid books) chance of succeeding in life? Would you focus on the 1.25% chance things won’t work out? Or, would you: smile more, pick up the pace, work harder, and be more positive?

What’s today going to be like for you? A good day or a bad day? What about the next year? Next 10 years?

I don’t know about you, but I am optimistic.

And couldn’t forget a song to start Friday off right. The Dumb and Dumber clip reminded me of this one:

Make it a great day.
