My goal this week is to help you answer the question: “Should you be an optimist?”

This might surprise you because most people assume that you are either born an optimist or pessimist – like being born right or left handed.

My claim is that it is a choice that you can make and that you should choose “optimist” as your identity because you believe in God and you believe in Jesus Christ.
