“An optimist is a person who sees only the lights in the picture, whereas a pessimist sees only the shadows. An idealist, however, is one who sees the light and the shadows, but in addition sees something else: the possibility of changing the picture, of making the lights prevail over the shadows.”

“In my dreams there are endless possibilities and in this precious moment I will take the first step towards making them come true!”
King Solomon Hearn
“Today, on this day of possibility, we stand in the shadow of a lanky, raw-boned man with little formal education who once took the stage at Old Main and told the nation that if anyone did not believe the American principles of freedom and equality, that those principles were timeless and all-inclusive, they should go rip that page out of the Declaration of Independence.”
Barack Obama
“My parents shared not only an improbable love, they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation. They would give me an African name, Barack, or blessed, believing that in a tolerant America your name is no barrier to success.”
Barack Obama
The month of January represents the beginning of a New Year and the promise of great possibilities for many people throughout the world! In the United States it is very common for people to make “New Year Resolutions” which I believe are really about possibilities and creating positive change in the New Year.
Last month I focused my inspirational quotes on the theme of change as a tribute to Barack Obama and his historic election as the President of the United States of America.
On January 20, 2009, the United States will inaugurate its first African American president. As a tribute to Barack Obama and the vast possibilities of creating positive change in the U.S. and perhaps even in the world his election as President represents I have focused the theme of my inspirational quotes this month of January on possibilities!
