Hey friends, Hope this email finds you well. This week I’ve been reading “The psychology of Money” (since I have plenty, lol!). I haven’t finished it yet but I wanted to share an interesting definition I came across in the book. “Optimism is usually defined as a belief that things will go well. But that’s incomplete. Sensible optimism is a belief that the odds are in your favor, and over time things will balance out to a good outcome even if what happens in between is filled with misery. And in fact you know it will be filled with misery. You can be optimistic that the long-term growth trajectory is up and to the right, but equally sure that the road between now and then is filled with landmines, and always will be.”
