Optimistic
Optimistic people have a positive outlook, are more confident, look to the future, and hope for the best in every situation. Pessimistic people have a negative outlook, are unsure or hesitant, brood over the past, and expect the worst in every situation. Being optimistic is less stressful and better for your health.
I have always been an optimist. I have even been called “Pollyanna”. She was a little girl who always found the silver lining. She played a game she called the Glad Game, where she tried to find something in every situation to be glad about. I believe things can always be worse and we should be grateful for what we do have. Helen Keller, who was blind and deaf from birth, once said, “I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet.”
Eeyore is a sad little donkey that always expects the worst and he frequently loses his tail. Have you ever noticed that moods are contagious? If you hang around negative people, it tends to make you negative, too. So try hanging around positive people and see your own mood improve.
The Law of Attraction says that the energy you put out into the universe comes back to you and attracts more of the same. If you have a positive attitude, you will attract more positivity into your life. Listen to uplifting music and watch uplifting movies. You can’t plant weeds in your garden (your mind) and expect daisies to grow.
Winston Churchill once said, “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” Like Pollyanna, we can strive to find the good in every situation and we will live a healthier, happier life.
