I like to think of myself as an “optimistic realist,” hoping for the future but knowing when to say when. Maybe I’m actually an eternal optimist and my Johari Window just needs a little washing. It’s hard for me to stop believing in something or someone. I give people the benefit of the doubt to my fault and detriment. I generally believe people are good and kind and giving and…

Well, every once in a while there’s that one person that makes me stop believing or that one process that person after person after person has attempted but been unable to sway. When I want to stop believing, I tell myself: It’s one person. Out of thousands in a lifetime. It’s one process/organization/whatever among millions.

Don’t stop believing.
