What I'm doing to stay optimistic while TTC
I learned about the Stockdale paradox from Good to Great, a book on building a great business: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpgLAuZdutM
The basic idea is that you have to keep the faith that you will persevere in the end while still facing facts of the current situation. For example, I try to keep in mind that it's still pretty likely that I end up having a living child eventually; however, the chance that I will get pregnant this month or next month is not that high.
Are there any "motivational" ideas you've found helpful in coping with TTC?

I basically came to this realization moments before I met my husband. That I was worth it and would eventually meet someone even if it didn’t happen on this date or this month or this year and I stopped caring when cuz I knew it would. And then 5 minutes later my husband showed up (late) to our first date.
