Being an optimist

“I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one’s head pointed toward the sun, one’s feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death.”  -Nelson Mandela

I am optimistic!

"When I look at the world I'm pessimistic, but when I look at people I am optimistic." -Carl Rogers

People inspire me. The clients who I meet teach me much about life. They are windows through which I can better see myself. They are windows which allow me to see that each moment is precious. If we can live fully each moment then life becomes wonderful. TJS
