Optimism is the Lens I Choose to Look Through: Rik Rushton
Rik Rushton starts each day with optimism and gratitude.
I asked Rik what makes him optimistic.
Rik told me, "As I take my very first conscious breath every waking day, I realise someone has taken their very last breath. So, with that first thought of gratitude, I start my day with optimism. I wake up next to the love of a great person who's been in my life for four decades. I'm grateful for what I have, like healthy children all playing their part in building a better world, and I love the work I do every day with people looking to get to a better place. No one gets to a better place through pessimism; we all shift to a better place through optimism. So it's a great joy to add to this wonderful community where we look through the lens of opportunity, the lens of abundance, not fear. Diversity will always be in play, and optimism is the lens I choose to look through in this world."
