OPTIMISTS ALWAYS WIN!

Difficulties and struggles are unavoidable in life, but a person has complete control over one's personal response to the situation. International speaker and diversity/inclusion strategist Kimberly Reed offers readers a plan for responding with optimism for both the challenges and blessings that come their way.

Our brain's default setting is negativity. Ask anyone who has ever tried to lose weight, achieve a new skill, or incorporate a new habit and they can tell you that our natural tendency is to levitate toward mediocrity. However, optimism overpowers that negativity In this book, Reed helps readers develop a process to stay optimistic all the time and obtain a level of happiness, peace, wisdom and growth in all areas of our lives. It's choosing optimism instead of anger, bitterness, or revenge.

The life events that unfold for Reed in Optimists Always Win! will do just that - challenge anyone facing what seems to be an impossible situation and show that victory is absolutely possible. Her heroic battle with her mother's terminal illness and sudden loss as well as her subsequent battle with cancer will encourage others that one doesn't have to face adversity with pessimism or hopelessness. Relying heavily on her faith in God and the optimism that she learned to cultivate, Kimberly Reed teaches her readers the ten discouragement eliminators she used, which helped her succeed not just in her fight against cancer but as she lives each day as her best self. The message of this book is simple: difficulties and struggles are unavoidable in life, but a person has complete control over one's personal response to the situation.

By offering 10 "Discouragement Eliminators", readers will achieve gratitude, peace, and self-esteem. The author is donating all royalties to the book to a Premier Academic Research Institution for Integrated Breast Cancer Fund and Patient Care, and American Cancer Society.
