The Artdog Quote of the Week
It's been shown that optimists tend to be healthier and live longer than pessimists. But are optimists born, or do they cultivate their attitude? If one is a pessimist "by nature," is that person doomed?
No, in fact. Resistance to pessimistic thoughts is not futile. Resiliency can be learned. It doesn't matter how horrible you think things are, bright spots exist. Look for them. Cultivate them. Foster positive things. Where life persists, hope is possible, but it depends on all of us and our choices.
It ultimately comes down to a basic choice: hope or despair. Where would you rather focus? Which would you rather pursue?
