Optimism is catching. It is part of the American Spirit, and one of the reasons the world loves this country.
The USA was founded on optimism. Optimism is the reason people have come from places across this planet for over 200 years in search of freedom to live the life they choose.
This country where I was born is special, and it attracts special people, people with hopes and dreams. And optimism. Always has, always will.
What other place on Earth has a statue at the front door, one representing Liberty, that decrees “Give us your tired, your poor, your tempest tossed? Why is the USA called the land of opportunity?
Because this is the land of opportunity. And in these challenging times, that statue in the New York harbor still stands upright and holds her torch high, a beacon for all within this country and around the world.
There are opportunities in this time. Challenging times create opportunities for those with dreams and hopes for peace and prosperity. It is part of the human spirit. And one of our God given rights.
An environment of Optimism kindles uplifting attributes like kindness and compassion, working together for the highest good of all. Optimism represents the best of humanity.
Every day we can choose what we think. I choose optimism, and hope and gratitude, and peace and prosperity.
We can choose to be glorious.
Add the two most powerful words in the English language: I AM.
I AM Glorious!
