You are going to be okay.

The most re-assuring words ever said to me: "you're going to be okay."'

If you are like me, your life's story includes moments of stress, confusion, and discontent. If you are like me, you wish for some type of relief during times like that. "You're going to be okay" said by someone who cares about you provides that relief.

Effective leaders, caregivers, and humans make bad situations better. They do this by re-assuring the humans in their charge that "they are going to be okay."

Embrace adversity.

Celebrating the pessimist.
