Choose Optimism
When I look at the world I’m pessimistic, but when I look at people I am optimistic. Carl Rogers.
So much of life is choices….. one of the most important (because it impacts on almost everything you do in life) is choosing whether to be a pessimist or an optimist.
Pessimists, by nature, are destructive, unsure of their abilities, closed to new ideas, critical of the opinions of others, disrespectful, fearful and comfortable with their view of the past.
Optimists, on the other hand, are helpful, open to ideas, sharing, inclusive, caring and forward thinking and welcoming of the future. They are the explorers, the builders.
If it weren’t for optimists, we’d still be huddled around a campfire, terrified of the strange noises in the dark shadows beyond the light of flames.
Did you know? I have started a new, inspiring workshop BE REAL. It is created for people are always up for a challenge and who want to be inspired, restore their sense of self and purpose and live even larger lives.
