Optimism is a choice

Last week, I wrote about choice.

This week, I’d like to make a recommendation:

Choose optimism.

I’m ever the optimist.

I’m also a realist.

"Optimism is more than the preferred realism. It is the only realism."

- Ed Rempel

Here’s a great article I shared a couple of years ago:

• Happy Talk by Jonathan Clements, who is now dealing with a terminal cancer diagnosis and no doubt finding optimism hard these days…

And here’s another 2-minute take on optimism I was introduced to just last week:

• The Most Radical and Rebellious Choice You Can Make Is to Be Optimistic by Guillermo del Toro

In my experience, optimism is a key ingredient in productive financial planning and living a great life.

We have much to be optimistic about!

Thanks for reading…

Until next Wednesday,
