Your future may look brighter than ever today as you mull over your long-term plans. Because you likely feel that your prospects are promising, you may feel no cause to worry about the challenges you are facing in the present. This can free you to focus the main force of your attention on practical matters related to your quest for fulfillment. You will no doubt find that you are more enthusiastic about the opportunities that present themselves to you today, as you may see precisely how they relate to your larger design. However, if you feel your excitement begin to flag, try to call to mind all of the optimism that was coursing through you earlier in the day.

When we view our lives as being full of promise, we are more apt to feel optimistic when contemplating our future prospects. It is easy to fall into a trap of despair when it seems that little is going right in our lives because believing that we can change or that the world will change can be equally difficult. We need not be tremendously specific in our visions of a brighter future as optimism is often a matter of faith rather than certainty. Knowing that we will be on the receiving end of blessings at some time in the near future gives us the strength to not only cope with the adversities of the present, but to conceive of those goals that will help us prosper down the line. Your upbeat mood will ensure that you do not overlook any of the opportunities that come your way today.
