I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff).

I’m in that very process right now, rehabilitating after a time of depression and feelings of hopelessness and shame. I let painful memories define me and hold me back for a very long time. Now I see the future with more optimism and am in the process of daring to have big dreams again. I once dreamed of developing something which really has an impact in its area, and now I have turned that dream into a concrete project idea. There’s much to learn and maybe it’s not possible at all, but just having the idea gives me a reason to focus on a new area of expertise, which helps with motivation.
My pain kind of made me accept me who I am more than I ever did before in my life, because it took me through a time where I was someone else and showed me who I don’t want to be.
