Possibility

"Every problem, dilemma and dead end we find ourselves facing in life, only appears insolvable inside a particular frame of mind or point of view. We must learn to break through the barriers of our assumptions."

- From the book, The Art of Possibility

Magnet for Pessimism?

I can't escape the sense that our nation's economic foundation is rotting beneath us. I find it hard to deny the feeling of impending crisis that is beginning to resonate with undeniable clarity. The message is gradually organizing itself in my brain like pieces to a puzzle. Its all fitting together reinforcing a sense of impending catastrophe.

I feel like a minority, but I'd rather be a realistic pessimist than an ignorant optimist.
