I don’t want to tell you how to live, what to do, or why certain ways are better than others, but I do want to offer you a chance to contemplate how your decisions are impacting your happiness. I believe optimism is a decision and that being optimistic can cure many of life’s issues. Sometimes all you need is hope that things will turn out good. Feeling secure is the first step to reaching peace, and security is found through surrendering what you can't control and cultivating an optimistic perspective toward all of life's challenges.
