It’s so easy to look at the bright side of life when everything is going as planned. When things are going well, we are afforded blessings, able to look for opportunities, and expect to find good fortune. We have no reason to expect otherwise. I really believe in the power of an optimistic outlook and it can offer an amazing source of emotional strength. But you know, there is going to be situations that test this optimism and hope, and there is going to be times where conflict or challenge emerges.
