Be inspired by these optimistic quotes. Optimism defined by Webster's dictionary - the inclination to take a hopeful view. We all have a choice every day - we can be full of optimism and look forward to the day or we can be full of pessimism and frown before the day even begins.We can look forward with hope and faith that no matter what is going on that it will work out.
