I had to prepare a paper recently on resilience and optimism - do we need both and why? It is an interesting thought.... managers, leaders, I say everybody, needs both! Resilience to put yesterday behind and optimism to look forward to what is to come. I've heard some good preaching on the parable of the sower lately. One interesting insight is that when you plant a seed it takes some time of watering and waiting until you see something sprout forth. [The modern day equivalent might be sitting in the waiting bay at Maccas waiting for your burger. There's plenty of action you can't see with teenagers flipping burgers out back while you wait to see what they've got to bring you!!] Perhaps you currently feel like the seed (or burger) in that dark place waiting to spring out??

I looked up melancholy, and founds words like thoughtfulness, reflection, and contemplation - all of which describe you! Being optimistic is not hiding who you are, it's being who you are! So, be both optimistic and melancholy!! :D I don’t believe that the melancholy in you means misery, unhappiness, or pessimism.
