Optimism Digest * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
   *13-JUN-1993 --------------- Optimism: A doctrine that this
   world is the best possible world. Optimism, the power of
   positive thinking, belief in the magic inbedded in every human.
   *It is a force that has been utilized by some of the world's
   greatest philosophers and prophets, from Jesus to Ghandi to Ben
   Franklin to Norman Vincent Peale. *Proper utilization of prayer,
   meditation, belief and faith DEPENDS on the inner strength,
   existing in everyone, to overcome problems that can absolutely
   cripple the pessimest... those negatively-focused by choice.
   Every child born believes that the world is perfect as it
   stands, and that imperfections can be overcome by simply
   BELIEVING and ACTING. Nothing is impossible to the persistantly
   positive. *You always succeed in achieving an outcome, whether
   it is one you wish or not, and even those outcomes that aren't
   necessarily desireable have tremendous educational value. The
   Optimism Digest is a forum to discuss personal beliefs, the
   writings of Norman Vincent Peale and his ideas, the ideas
   presented in the Bible by Jesus Christ, presented by Muhammad in
   the Koran, by the reactions of Job (in the biblical texts of
   Judeism, Christianity and the Muslims) to tremendous
   difficulties, and by anyone who seems to magically "beat the
   odds" daily - you, me, and billions of other people all across
   the world, all throughout history. To subscribe, send e-mail to
