One of the best reasons for optimism is to believe in human ingenuity and innovation to take us above and beyond our obstacles and limitations. This has certainly been the case so far, as this wonderful video clearly demonstrates. Quality of life improves, poverty declines, wealth and opportunity grows...and it's happening because of good people like you, using their good hearts and minds to ingeniously innovate, day in and day out.

All day, every day, all over the world, brilliant creators are working diligently to make life better for you and me and everyone. They rarely make the news, but they are the reason that we are able to survive the disasters and recover from the perceived crises that fill the airwaves of mainstream media.

Make up your mind to be optimistic about our future as a species on this planet, and you will simultaneously boost your immune system and lower your overall stress level.

Go a step further and develop a habit of looking for the good in every moment of life, and you will find your heart expanding in a growing sense of love and appreciation for yourself and life itself.

The experience and appreciation of beauty is one of the greatest life-enhancers you can engage in. Enjoy the exquisite beauty of this ingenious innovation in 3D art.
