Living in modern times requires a special kind of optimism that doesn’t think too much of present woes and instead embraces a direction. Choose a direction you love, move toward it each day, and you will find that you feel more fulfilled than focusing on particular events. There is always further to go and loving your direction ensures your movement is joyful even when life presents challenges. Stoking the flames of curiosity is a great way to reignite feelings of daily awe.
