This reminds me of a saying; Have faith and fly or suffer like everyone else. I think being optimistic gives us the will or drive to keep going and possibly find ways or workarounds towards a particular issue.
I'm gradually learning that many things can be overdone, these days I think and read too much!
Optimism sure does make a burden we've built so mightily in our heads feel as it actually is, smaller.
Life is a series of test, we are done with the first off to the next. If we feel more gratifying we could celebrate on the way up. I remind myself ever so often what really counts in all this- everything fades but my soul.
Good things can be overdone, it's the right channel and time as well as it's moderation that matters. You will find your way through it all for sure, you are great like that ;)
Very true, the tests comes and goes but the essence of it all remains. Everything can be taken away from us except that, the soul or spirit.
Moderation is good, perhaps necessary. But I just sometimes find it boring or slow moving :)
