hoping for the best...

recently i've been confronted by some bad attitudes (including my own!) it seems that there are a lot of people who claim to "hope for the best" but really don't hope for anything. they are expecting the worst and feel justified when they can pick something apart into it's awful components.

i'm doing my best to keep this kind of thinking out of my own mind. if i walk into my big session meeting tomorrow thinking "this is going to suck, no one has prepared, all the decisions are going to be agonizing, etc..." then chances are those are the aspects of the meeting i'm going to see. keeping a positive attitude at least gives me a fighting chance of seeing the good things that will happen during the meeting.

so, as an encouragement to myself and to you, let's hope for the best. let's expect the best. because then we at least have a fighting chance. and you know what? we can get over the disappointment if it doesn't all work out how we want.
