Listen to the song Optimistic by Sounds of Blackness here.

Sometimes there are simply no words. Listen to the lyrics.

This is a song I have used for the last three decades whenever I need inspiration, hope, and positivity.

The situation doesn't matter, but the feeling that music gives you when you need it most transcends the written word.

We lost two legends this weekend.

Kobe Bryant and Clayton Christensen.

My words won't do their legacy justice.

Incase you are somewhere you can't press play and listen right now, or the Apple Music link above fails outside of the US, here are the lyrics:

Keep, keep on

Never say die

When in the midst of sorrow

You can' t see up when looking down

A brighter day tomorrow will bring

You hear the voice of reason

Telling you this can't never be done

No matter how hard reality seems

Just hold on to your dreams

Don't give up and don't give in

Although it seems you never win

You will always pass the test

As long as you keep your head to the sky

You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky

You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky

Be optimistic

If things around you crumble

No, you don't have to stumble and fall

Keep pushing on and don't you look back

I know of storms and strive

I been around them all of life 

Just think ahead and you'll be inspired

To reach higher and higher.

You'll always do your best

If… 

Just be optimistic, because what is the alternative?

Dedicated to growing your business,

Val
