Hi, I’m Jackie, and I’m an optimist.
Some people might be surprised to hear me say it. Hell, I was shocked the first time I realized it.
But it’s true.
So what is optimism?
First of all, optimism isn’t about being naively positive all the time. It’s about seeing that compelling future, the one that gives you goosebumps – it’s that amazing. It’s about believing in that amazing future and working every day to make it a reality.
Optimism means knowing in your soul that you can lead a meaningful, fulfilling life and then being laser focused on making that a reality, even when things are challenging. It’s about refusing to give up, no matter what, because that compelling future is more important than any struggles you have to endure to get there.
And if you’re already there, it means keeping up that momentum and continuing to be the best version of you.
I believe that success and fulfillment should not be “nice to have” concepts. I believe that each and every one of us has the capability to build lives that are amazing and full of joy and satisfaction.
When we are the best version of ourselves, when we are living lives that are in alignment with our values, when we feel loved and safe and fulfilled, we make other people’s lives better by extension.
I believe in that compelling future.
And it all starts with each of us choosing to live the best version of our lives, choosing growth and abundance over fear and doubt.
Are you living the best version of your life? What does your compelling future look like? Let me know in the comments!
