Optimism Thought of the Week

Summing It All Up

The sum of who we are today represents our trials and tribulations, along with our joys and triumphs. We cannot expect to have joy without learning how to experience and embrace sadness.  We cannot expect to enjoy the triumph of victory, without knowing what it’s like to be defeated. 

The sum of who we are today takes the good and the bad, our joys and sadness, our victory and defeat, and represents the person you see in the mirror each day. 

We will have the bad days, also the days in which our faith will be tested, our optimism levels will be low, but we can never forget, we have persevered in the past, and we will continue to persevere in the future.
