Radical Optimism is not blind.
It exists in the tension between total overwhelm and outright denial, making holes in the wall and shining through.
How to be radically optimistic:
Step 1 Tell the truth.
step 2 Recognize the work that's always been done, and is already happening.
Step 3 Find the things in your immediate
environment that you can do.
step 4 Celebrate and lift them up.

Courage is not the absence of despair; it is, rather, the capacity to move ahead in spite of despair.
