Do you consider yourself and optimistic person, a pessimistic person or somewhere in between?

Do you worry about how your children will be influenced by their peers, teachers and the environment? Do you feel trapped in a cycle of behaviors that even though you know may not be good for you, you find nearly impossible to break? Do you find the advice from a councilor, therapist or religious leader is often less than helpful? Do you wonder how the universe will end or if it will ever end? Are you often scared to have conversations expressing your views with family, friends, and people you meet out of fear either they or you will revert to some kind of anger in making points? Are you scared to try new activities. Are you fearful of traveling to other places because you worry how others will view you? Are you constantly playing over scenarios in your head about how things can only get worse? Do you feel at times fearful of expressing views, telling jokes or stories because you may offend the people you are talking to? Are you scared of getting old and dying? Are you addicted to medications or drugs and want to stop but feel you just don't have the will power to stop? Have you been banned or suspended on on social media and often have no clue why? Are you scared about the future?


I am an optimist. I have not always been as optimistic as I am now and like most all of us I have plenty of reasons to not have always felt as optimistic as I feel now.


I like to write novels. Most of my novels are adventurous, romantic, and have characters that are based on people I have either known or been acquainted with in my life. After a fairly dark period in my life I decided to examine why I was no longer writing and discovered that I was purely overwhelmed and obsessed with events from my past. Like the majority of us I experienced a variety of traumatic events throughout my life and had a hard time understanding why I had to go through those events.

I realized at some point the reason was I dwelling on the past and that by trying to "get over it" or "overcome" the past was actually a worthless endeavor. So, instead I decided to examine the future from a perspective of hope and optimism!

The science I include may be a bit too much or slightly beyond the comprehension of some but I promise you if you read through until the end of this book you will see your life, life around you, and the future of your environment in a new and optimistic light.
