    Love and  Optimism

     

    At the Centre for Optimism, we believe that love and optimism are deeply intertwined, amplifying the other in a virtuous cycle of joy, connection, and hope. Love, in its purest form, is an act of optimism—an unwavering belief in the goodness of people, the possibilities of relationships, and the beauty of shared experiences. When we approach life with optimism, we open our hearts to love more fully, seeing the best in others and nurturing relationships that thrive on positivity and trust. In turn, love fuels our optimism, reminding us that even in the face of challenges, there is light, warmth, and the potential for a better tomorrow.

    Love flourishes when nurtured with an optimistic heart—one that sees possibilities, believes in the good, and finds joy in the shared journey. What makes you optimistic about love? What love-filled moments have sparked optimism in your life? Join us in spreading love and optimism, making the world more optimistic and connected.

     “It is the nature of the human spirit to express love, peace and joy.  We do drift from our true nature in some moments, but time and truth ultimately call us back to who we really are, which is the deepest rationale for optimism.”

    Shahbaz Sendi, Clinical Researcher in Psychiatry

    "Optimism is the perspective when knowledge is the way and love is the being on the way."

    "Optimism is the exquisite taste of the first white peach of the season; it is the trust with which your grandson takes your hand; the acceptance of your destiny and your place in a world that is much bigger than you; and mostly, optimism is living and being the person you are meant to be."

    Brendan Moore,  and Co-Founder of Pride in Water.

    "For me, optimism is synonymous with hope and excitement. Optimism is the excitement for what tomorrow will bring, it’s the happiness we get from the relationships we build and it is the light that guides us through our darkest times.”

    Michael Thomas Sunnarborg, Transformation Coach and Relentless Optimist

    “Optimism is a lifestyle and a daily choice. Choose wisely.”
