RX: A dose of Outrageous Optimism
« on: October 16, 2017, 12:57:49 PM »
I need one today, so I re-read MMM classic for the 20th time this morning: http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2012/10/03/the-practical-benefits-of-outrageous-optimism/

especially this part:

"If you ask me, everything is pretty fucking great these days.

Your life and my life are both going to continue to increase in awesomeness over time. We are likely to have exceptional fortune and health throughout our days, we’ll help to change some lives for the better, our kids are going to turn out loving and great, and we will die with a broad smile across our rugged and weather-worn faces somewhere around the age of a hundred and twenty two.

Oh sure, there will be the odd problem and catastrophe along the way, but they will just serve as recharging jolts to keep us from getting complacent. More problems to solve, more learning to do, and deeper happiness to attain. On top of that, the human race is bound for an ever-better fate, ironing out most of its current problems and most of the problems that follow in the future, ending up at a tantalizing Star Trek Utopia."

The article is from 2012, and becomes more relevant every single day.


 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
