Optimistic Acts
Optimistic Acts
September 13, 2001
"What choices are you making in your perception of the events around you? We choose how we view our times." The events of this past week could cause us to be pessimistic. Counter these cowardly acts with "small acts of optimism."
Fly the American flag at home. Attend community gatherings to memorialize those who died on Tuesday. Donate blood for the victims in New York and Washington. Show your patriotism by singing the National Anthem at events.
"The accumulation of small, optimistic acts produces quality in our culture and in your life. Our culture resonates in tense times to individual acts of grace. What's your choice (James, 1986. p. 121)?"
