without.
Free
Yourself Free yourself from the habits that
suppress you, people you depress you, rules that depress you.
Get rid of clothing that binds, and
free yourself to move in comfort.
Free up some time every week - or
everyday- to express your creativity.
Free your mind of negative thoughts
and belittling beliefs.
Free yourself from relationships
with people who want only to take and never to give.
Free the poet who's locked inside
you.
Free the athelete who never got to
run, the ballerina who never got to dance, the diva
who never had the freedom to
sing.
Free yourself to be the woman you
were always meant to be.

your points. On questions 3,7, and 9 only, add up the points
in
this way: for every
4 you answered, add 0; for every 3, add 1; for every 2, add 2; for every
1, add 3;
and for
every 0, add 4. Do not add in your answers to questions 2,5, 6 and

RESULTS:
19-24: Congratulations! You are a
full-blooded optimist and a role model for pessimists around
you.
15-18: You are nearly always in the habit of
looking at the world through rose colored glasses.
Forgive
your little
negative slips!
10-14: You are evenly balanced - on any
given day, you could go either way, considering the
proverbial
glass half
full or half empty. You know how to be an optimist; you just need to
work a little harder at it.
5-9: Better take a long, careful look at
your outlook - you are focusing on the clouds, forgetting to
see
that silver
lining. (It's usually there- really!)
0-4: Your chronic negativity must be a drag on
your life and a trial for those you live and work with.
But
you can always
improve you way of looking at the world by trying to think and behave in
the way
optimists do.
