Rechristened as OPTIMISM
I would love to be rechristened to optimism, the single most important human emotion.
Optimism brings hope in our lives when we imagine the future to be bright. In the absence of optimism, pessimism takes over and builds stress and anxiety.
Hence I am a big believer of OPTIMISM. Simon Sinek’s following quotes on Optimism are too good to ignore.
“OPTIMISM is NOT the DENIAL of the CURRENT STATE. OPTIMISM is the BELIEF that the FUTURE is BRIGHT.”
“Optimism is the ability to focus on where we are going, not where we are coming from”.
“Optimists FOCUS on the PLACE they are GOING. Pessimists FOCUS on the OBSTACLES along with ROUTE. To become an OPTIMIST, simply look AHEAD.”
So what are you waiting for, take the RISK of OPTIMISM.

Quality to me is far more important than quantity and hence when it comes to friendship I pick and choose my friends. Here’s celebrating the true bond of friendship.
