Here’s a TedTalk by one of the founders of the Life Is Good company.

It’s all about optimism and positivity.

That’s a simplistic response to the world…to be optimistic and positive.

Lately, it seems more natural to be cynical….to be jaded about the things that go on “out there”.

But…the simple things are often the true things.

We need optimism.

The fight to see the world as something good and to remain optimistic about its potential is a good fight.

It’s a fight we have to learn to sustain.

I’m reading a book that the brothers wrote about their business and views called (appropriately) “Life is Good: the Book”.

It’s (surprise) simple….and consistently optimistic.

You probably don’t change the world by wearing a t-shirt.

But….optimism is contagious….and wearing a t-shirt with a positive message wouldn’t hurt anything.

Awwwwwwwww, shoot…..

Just smile more….that gets the job done, too.

Don’t hide your head in the sand….but….smile more and plant some seeds of optimism when you can.

Optimism is the normal state….when did we get so cynical?

Weird.
