Action springs from the belief that you can make a difference

This quote from a fellow blogger struck a cord with me today:

“I’ve been both an idealistic child and a realistic grownup, and I think I was a better person when I was an idealistic child…..Realism does little but protect the status quo. Being optimistic, on the other hand, is the most radical political act there is.”

Yes that’s a great quote! Realism is necessary in some ways and at some times but its not the best inspiration! Here’s to idealism!
