What's My Problem?

I’ve been questioning many aspects of my life lately, so I had a talk with Lee. His objectivity and honesty in these situations is just what I was looking for.

According to Lee, who’s usually right on the money and whose opinion I value greatly, I tend to focus on the possibility or potential, instead of the reality of the situation. My response to this was, “Oh my gosh. Am I an optimist?” He confirmed that I'm still a realist, but pointed out that I’m always looking toward the future, which is good, but I also have to take the present into account.

Granted, this is only a brief recap of the conversation, but these are wise words indeed. And something for me to consider from this point forward.
