Believe tomorrow can improve while still fixing what is broken today.

Believing in a better future and being honest about a broken present are not in conflict. In fact the belief is what makes the repair worth attempting, and the repair is what makes the belief credible. Using optimism to avoid looking at what is wrong turns it into a way of staying stuck.

Name one thing that is genuinely not working and address it this week, while keeping your longer view intact. Do not let the hopefulness talk you out of the maintenance. Both are needed.
