Walking through life with optimistic goggles

We all know someone who walks through life, who seems to be wearing optimistic goggles at all times.  I don't just mean they have a great attitude, but they have the ability to see life in a whole new way.  They don't see all the negative thoughts and emotions, or physical appearance like others do. They see something that the naked I can not even perceive.  They are those who know what unconditional love is.

How would it be to wake up each morning with optimistic glasses? Would we judge our physical appearance, would we focus on our brands of clothes, would we worry if we have as much or more then the neighbors, would we be able to see the good in others?  I love comparing adults to children...when kids get in fights they unconditionally forgive.  When adults get in fights you may never be friends with someone ever again.  Kids can tell someone they look beautiful even when an adult will judge someones appearance.  Kids might tell a lie but heir conscience usually gets the best of them and they break down and tell the truth, I know adults that brag about being able to come up with a lie on the spur of the moment.  Kids have optimistic goggles, but it's through our example that the glass begins to crack and they see people the way the world wants us to.

I would just love to wake up in the morning and be able to see past my family's as well as my own flaws.  It would be awesome to see only the good in others, or see someone who may not be appealing on the outside and be able to say they are beautiful for their attitude and standards.  I think we all have days where we have begun the day wearing our goggles, but tight  as they may be we live in a world that's judges others.  Can we overcome the world we are surrounded by?  Can we focus on the good, forgive others, be honest, and truly love those around us?

We have a perfect example of this, our Savior.  He not only was ridiculed by almost everyone he knew or met, but he unconditionally loved us all.  He gave all, he blessed even those that cursed him, and he loved all of us. I want to be like my Savior.  It is hard to be perfect, but I know if I can start each day wearing my goggles, for at least a moment in time I can see the good the world offers.  If we would all see something wonderful our world would be such a better place to live. I think the goggles could be compared to an innocent spirit; One who is just born, free from sin, free from all judgement.  As a child we love all those around us, we accept others fort who they are, and all the new things in life bring us Joy.

Today I am wearing my optimistic goggles.  I am looking for the good, I am going to try to forgive those that wrong me, I am going to be even more honest, and I am going to strive to love others for
the good they can offer.  I can find Joy in a world that is so beautiful when I myself can see that there is beauty in everything.
