Life comes with hard times. It's not all as pretty and motivating as I like to lay it out here in this blog, but that's because I'm optimistic! Having optimism is an awesome trait because it's contagious. Optimism gives you the energy to go forth, energy you might not have if you look down on things. You could have the same goals, the same abilities and skills and still achieve more just with that boost of optimistic energy, let alone passing it on to someone else. But how do we be optimistic? For a lot of people it's a natural part of their personality. But if you struggle to look on the bright side here are a few must have attitudes: Get passionate! Get support! And get started! Find your passion and work with that, how can anyone get you down if your ready to fight back with some of that passion? ignite whatever is in you that get's you excited and use it to your advantage. Find the people that are with you all the way, even when you do get a bit off the optimism track they will be there to set you straight and remind you why your doing whatever you're doing in the first place. And finally my all time go-to advice, get started. NOW! What's really stopping you? Negativity? Fear? Anxiousness? Do yourself and your support team a favour, shove those guys out the way and make room for a bit of optimism. Trust me, you are worth it my friend. |
