Oct 19, 2015 - Are you passionately optimistic? Are you fully vested in what you believe is possible for you to achieve? Or are you cautiously optimistic, because of certain doubts or unknowns that keep you from fully believing?

Questioning is a powerful means of making progress when used constructively instead of destructively.

Is it because the next step is a daunting one or because it appears to be too easy? When faced with a daunting task, it is natural to feel hesitant because of what you fear about the unknown.
