Seeing it in print makes me smile |
Last week at the writers’ workshop with #1 New York Times Best
Selling author, Grant Blackwood, I soaked up everything I could about writing,
publishing and being successful in "the business" of writing. Grant
was inspiring, engaging and generous with his wisdom - I am still
percolating many of the lessons he shared.
One concept that he shared at the
beginning of the workshop was that of the necessity of being an irrational
optimist, and I am certain that it was at that moment I was hooked. I could
relate. The terminology and related discussion resonated with me to my core. I
am an irrational optimist. I have always been an irrational optimist. I believe
that anything is possible and dreams will become reality; yes, there is work
involved, but that is the journey we take on to achieve the goal and that
journey is so much more enjoyable when faced as an irrational optimist.
I am all in as an irrational optimist…and anything is possible.
