This month's theme: OPTIMISM - the powerful combination of problem solving + hope.

Reflections on Optimism: by Orly Wahba

Oftentimes people associate optimists with blind idealists who fail to see reality and instead put their heads in the sand. I have to disagree.

“Every day may not be good, but there’s good in every day” ~Unknown

When looking through various quotes about optimism for this month’s Kindness Flash, this one stood out above the rest. Read More >>

Optimism and Your Health

Produced by Harvard Men's Health Watch, this article provides research from studies that link optimism to being heart healthy and living longer. It also explains in detail how we can measure optimism and why it’s beneficial for our health.


kindness-quote-of-the-monthKindness Quote

"When things go wrong, don’t go with them"
~ Elvis Presley

act-of-kindness-of-the-monthAct of Kindness

Practice optimism in your daily comings and goings. Optimism isn’t being unrealistic, it’s understanding that when things head south they aren’t as final as they may oftentimes appear. Think of a struggle you are currently facing that seems insurmountable. Now try and see it through the lens of optimism. Write down three things about that problem that you can do to solve it, three things you can learn from it, or three ways to make it manageable. Keep in mind: the only limit is your imagination.

question-of-the-monthQuestion of the Month

Can a person be optimistic and pessimistic at the same time? Share your thoughts.

In this amazing song from Zootopia we learn that success is not measured by how fast you get to the top, but whether you keep on going and try everything you can possibly think of until you reach the end. “Nobody learns without getting it wrong.”

Kindness Across America by Joel Malard

One sunny August morning, author Joel Malard set out from his home in Fremont, California, to begin a 20-day train journey across the length of the United States and back again. With him, he carried a notebook and one question he would ask over 45 strangers he encountered on his journey: What is kindness?

To celebrate Joel’s journey, we too will be passing his book from one hand to another. I will be mailing a copy of the book out to my friend, Jason in Vancouver, Washington and from there it will continue to make its way around the world. Feel free to highlight in the book, sign your name and leave any comments before mailing it to the next person on the list. If you’re interested in taking part in this fun experiment, email Jason at jason@lifevestinside.com Subject: Kindness Across America.
