Affirmation…100% agree. My life is so much more productive, more fulfilling, more happy because of affirmations…especially when I have to get something done. I concentrate on what I can do, not what I can't do. And that “can do” attitude gets me to my goal faster. I know people that are very pessimistic. And their life is…difficult. I do not choose that for myself.
The strongest limit is in my mind. Even if I can't do something, I am 100% satisfied that I tried. Having an optimistic attitude about things isn't being naive, it's being proactive. Because if I think that I can't do something, I will never try, and I won't do it, this is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Plus, when I try and fail, I learn a lot, so trying is always a worthwhile endeavor.
A quote from US Army General Colin Powell that I like…
“Spare me the grim litany of the realist, give me the unrealistic aspirations of the optimist.”
Hi @fijimermaid <3
YES!!!
It is a personal choice and a DECISION. It does not mean everything is roses all the time, but simply making a choice to look at the bright side of things. Everything in life is about perspective... I see nothing fruitful coming from people who are pessimistic toward others who are proactively positive.
Love that!
