Eh, that's probably why I won't.
When's optimism ever worked out for anyone?
Bottom line is there's only so much freaking out I can do. Wife and 3 kids at home, leadership role at work. At some point you can sit around and immerse yourself in any gloom and doom scenario you'd like and be !@#$ing miserable (because lets face it - you as an individual aren't going to change it).
Or you can ingest everything you can find and hold onto those positive data points with everything you've got.
Like I said - I'll openly acknowledge that this whole country could be in flames by the end of the week but man, I just can't live in that space right now. It ain't healthy and too many people take their queues from me. So ultimately I think I believe me. I'm pretty sure I think we'll come through this in fine working order. But I'm pretty sure I was only ever about 55% sure the Chiefs would win the Super Bowl (and a lot less than that in the 4th quarter). Some of it was just forcing myself to buy into the remaining 45%...
It just is what it is.
