While I was working on my graphic novel, I was listening to a lot of podcasts on optimism. It really helps to be optimistic. Even if you imagine yourself successful or in a better world, you're at the very least happy for those minutes in your life. Whether it comes true or not, you've given yourself a few minutes of happiness.PlanetKimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10560415196458735562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262336202740698523.post-26124020271660443162017-04-06T01:10:05.449-04:002017-04-06T01:10:05.449-04:00I have to learn the art of eternal optimism :)
