Keep your face always toward the sunshine -
and shadows will fall behind you.
-Walt Whitman
Optimism, Positivity, hopefulness. These qualities all seem prevalent in Whitman. Many of modern day Americans spend so much time worrying and wallowing in events that are occurring in the now, holding them down. Keep hopeful, stay positive, and remain optimistic. Looking for the light at the end of the tunnel rather than being stuck in the dark will create a greater purpose for one's life. Be aware of where and who you are, but stay positive.
