Reflection

“Choose to be optimistic. It feels better.” –the Dalai Lama

Prayer

Liberating God,

In the course of a day we are confronted with many events beyond our control. It’s tempting at times to feel like victims of circumstance, tempted to negativity. When this kind of pessimism starts to swell in our hearts, help us to stop, retrieve our composure, and remember the freedom you have won for us. May we freely choose to have a better attitude filled with a hope that can inspire us and overflow to those around us. Amen.

Call to Action

Do I have a habit of pessimism in some area of life? Think of one thing I can do today to interrupt that script, reframe my attitude, and choose to be optimistic.
