Have you ever felt like several days passed and nothing happened?
You were very busy, and worked a lot…
Maybe even staying late or working weekends…
You run around solving urgent problems…
But… You still feel like you are stuck…
That nothing really happened…

Even small risks we take everyday like driving, getting the bus, or even hugging a friend, can prove to be fatal risks.

It is not easy.

You see, when we learn a new tool…
(hammer)
or a new skill
(using a hammer…)
Everything around us seems to need it…
(nails, nails, I see nails everywhere…)

Sometimes we have a plan…
It is a great plan!
We know what to do and how to finish it…
But then…
For some reason…
(Sometimes something you did…)
(Other times it is out of your control…)
And…
Your well intended plan fails…
Everything comes crashing down,
And you can’t get it to work…

Is “writing a book” a skill?
We sometimes treat as if it is…
“I’d like to write a book, but I’m not good enough at it”.
(I said that many times in my life…)
But it is a dream many people have…
(Plant a tree. Write a book. I’m sure you heard that…)
Have you ever though about writing a book someday?

Is optimism a skill?
Is it a mindset?
Worldview?
A habit?
Optimism is actively looking around for positive reaches.
It is to look for ways to take positive actions.
Even in the middle of difficulties…
And look, I’m not saying this is easy.
Sometimes it is very, very difficult…
