257 OPTIMIST OR SKEPTIC?

How many are fooled into believing themselves cup-half-full people, when their actions prove them skeptics at heart?

Whereas a cup-half-empty person is likely to edge fearfully back from the end of the diving board and leave well enough (?) alone ... an optimist is likely to say:  There's enough water in my cup to prevent me from hitting bottom, so I'll inch past fear and dive forward.  Or at least keep inching forward.

As you shall see in story after story:
Resolving inner conflict and regaining peace of mind has been worth each dive.

Once instinct suggests
That readiness for change is mine
I hold my breath
Pinch my nose
Take the plunge
Open my eyes
And see what 'secrets' I may find
Deep inside my mind
As to why I find that to be true:
All the better to be
Where I am today
Than where I was before
