The Optimist's Manifesto

57. What if everything isn’t messed up right now?

What if everything is going to be okay?

A Joyful Affirmation for Embracing Optimism 😌

Today I allow myself to look on the bright side. Today I allow the sun to hit my face, to warm my spirits, and to give me release.

Today I allow myself to believe in the good, to acknowledge with certainty that there is more good than bad, that there is more light than darkness, that there is more hope than despair.

Today I allow myself to live in the promise of better things.

Today I allow myself to acknowledge that I am a part of the goodness, of the lightness, of the hope.

Today I step into the understanding that our purpose is peace, and that we are all here for the same reason: To give, to love, to see and be seen.

Today I acknowledge my place in this purpose, and I do so with gratitude, finding a reason to smile in this moment, reminding myself that there is so much beauty to be held, and to hold.
