Optimism. Today’s framing story isn’t about sunny skies or silver linings. It’s about learning from the long, dark winters of Norway and from seasons of my own life when light felt absent.

Optimism isn’t pretending the darkness isn’t there. It isn’t shallow positivity. It’s the defiance of refusing to let the darkness have the last word.

Reflect on this question and share your thoughts:
What if life isn’t about the delusion of everything going right, but about the discipline of refusing to let the darkness have the last word?
