What We Need the Most Today: Pessimism –> Optimism –> Activism

I was going through some of the old posts by Jessica Hagy and came across this one, which is so relevant to the world that we are living in today. So much so that i could not stop but sharing this.

My 3 Words for 2017

We just welcome a new year and I am sure there are a lot of people who have already decided what change they would like to bring to their lives in 2017.
