Optimistic Quotes

When things are bad, be thankful...they are not as bad as they could be.

~ Dixie Waters

To be joyous of heart is to hold an optimistic outlook, to see adversity as opportunity, to see failure as the starting point of success, to view our stubbed toes as the release of acupuncture points, to wake with a feeling of gratitude, and to sleep with a sustaining, unfaltering trust in the Universe of which we are a part. The person with a joyous heart is a treasure to be with, a wellspring of inspiration, and a fit companion. When we are joyous of heart, we hear a resonance in the songs of the birds, see resonance in the opening of a flower, and feel it in the pressure of a friend’s hand.

There are different types of people in the world. There are people who accept what's in front of them unquestioningly. The live in the dark. In defeat.

I trust in the possibilities of betterness. I believe there is more to life than this. I have to. There's no other choices for me.
