OPTIMISM AS A MUST

Category: REPEAT

Few ppl already approached me with a remark that I might seem 2 optimistic from time 2 time. In such cases I often ask them "What's d alternative?". Maybe apathy, pessimistic view that nothing could/will be changed, jumping of d bridge...u name it  : / 

In my opinion, d only healthy alternative 2 optimism may be realism. But still optimism is my 1st choice. @ d end, little "optimism overdose" never did something bad 2 anybody - even some studies show that optimistic ppl live longer. More importantly, I believe they live happier and/or healthier lives. 

Many ppl often forget they have a choice - freedom 2 think toughs they like. Bombarded with negativity all around us, some of us unintentionally fall in d "circle of negative toughs", which might be triggered/emphasized by d tough situation(s) around us. If practiced repeatedly such behavior may consequently result in potentially dangerous outcomes. Similarly 2 d well known fact that "u'r what u eat", I believe "u'r what u think of" also applies. In simple words, positive thinking will attract more positivism and vice versa. Why happiness or prosperity can't be perceived simply as a result of repeating d right choices all over again. And surrounding yourself with positivism is surely your choice, same as u'r d only 1 to blame 4 thinking negative toughs all over again.   

Some ppl would argue that life simply doesn't treat them fairly and that others always seem 2 be luckier than they r. I simply couldn't disagree more. In my opinion, we all r dealt with more or less d same amount of "luck" which may be differently distributed in time, but all our life outcomes r simply result of good or bad choices/actions we've made. "Destiny" has very little 2 do with it, it's much more about how successful u dust yourself off every time u fall.

Some things in life u simply can't plan or predict (and that's d beauty of it), but most of crucial things r in your control. So be careful what u think of, who u surround yourself with and trust YOUR choices. Because if u don't make a choice 4 u, be sure some1 else will do it 4 u and in this case it might not put a smile on your face. In any case, u would be surprised how powerful a single smile could be. Either as a sign of your "contagious optimism" that ones who genuinely care about u will cherish or as sth that will simply annoy or puzzle others :)
