Every situation in life gives you the opportunity to optimize which means take advantage of the good available at that time and place.
First, acknowledge the elements of time, people, and place that advantage you at the moment. Do you have good time? Are there good people in your midst? And, what positive elements of place support your good living right now.
Then make the most of where you are, who you connect with, and what you can do. This is how you optimize. You won't regret it. Onward.
