SFC Stephen King, we all struggle with optimism at times. Those, like myself, who suffer from PTSD, have to fight on an almost daily basis just to keep an even perspective on life. The graphic that I posted above has often helped me when I felt that my sense of optimism was fading.

I hope you have a very happy, productive, and hearty Thanksgiving !!

I think that gratitude can help increase optimism by being grateful for what you have been blessed with, and nt worrying about the unnecessary things that you may not have. If we truly are grateful, then we must have the inherent insight to see the good in people.

Nice article, SFC Stephen King, especially for a day like this -- Thanksgiving!! And we Americans have so much to be grateful for. Funny how we often focus more on what we don't have and overlook all that we do have, and not just material things, obviously. I think being in the military and seeing other cultures and countries - where they don't even have what we consider the basics - helped me be a much more grateful person. Thanks for sharing this. Happy Thanksgiving!!
