Move Forward

It is no secret that I am an optimist. I’ve often said so in my blogs. Even still, I’ve written and spoken about how difficult the last two to three years have been for so many people. The inflation of late and the doom and gloom forecast of our economy and therefore markets can really make people depressed. So depressed they grasp for anything to give them an explanation, regardless of whether or not that is the right explanation.

Because of my day job, I spend a lot of time talking about all of this and I’ve come to realize that much of it has to do with how we each cope with life’s difficulties. Sure I’m an optimist so I do spend a lot of time surrounding myself with the positive— uplifting music, motivational speeches from those who have seen life’s ugly moments. I don’t hide from the truth and I’m not unaware of the turmoil in the world, but what use is it for me to panic and how do I help others if I’m busy wallowing.

Nothing lasts forever. Time has shown that consistently and we aren’t going to change that. We will move past pandemics and recessions and we will overcome new challenges that lie ahead. Will it all happen when we want? Not likely. But over time, we may see that is for the better.

Happy writing this week!
