Brave Monday — Pessimism Is a Luxury We Can’t Afford Anymore

It's up to you.
You build your own optimism.
Every morning you decide whether the world is half full or half empty —
and that choice shapes more than your day…
it shapes your life.

As we move slowly toward Christmas,
I hope everyone who reads ristgruppen.com understands this simple truth:

There are still good people out there.
People who try.
People who care.
People who want better for themselves and for others.

But to see them,
you have to look up.
You have to stop expecting the worst.
You have to give the world a chance to surprise you.

Pessimism is a luxury we can't afford anymore.
Not in a time where so many walk around tired,
uncertain,
and looking for a little hope to hold onto.

So start this Monday with courage.
Choose the fuller cup.
Choose the warmer thought.
Choose the direction that brings you closer to the person you want to become.

Brave Monday.
Let's begin.

To all of you, thanks for the enormous interest we are getting.
Best wishes, Raymond and Ken.
