OPTIMISM BREEDS SUCCESS
Despite all the talent and desire, failure can still occur if optimism is missing. Not blind optimism, but optimism with a keen eye for reality. That is why you will be able to bounce back after inevitable setbacks. You have to teach yourself, that defeat does not have to be permanent. Pessimism does not have to be ‘normal’, when disaster strikes. Pessimism drags you down and could cause depression. Habitual optimism should be developed over time, because you may well lack that trait. No, prescription drugs are not the answer!
Optimism makes you persevere. You will view all obstacles as challenges, which will encourage you to succeed and never ‘give up’. As you become a better dreamer and you visualize your future, you have just turned yourself into an unbeatable force! Of course, your positive attitude has to be repeated over and over again, because ‘stuff happens’, that will threaten to throw you off course all the time.
As this world offers such a privileged existence for those, who succeed, any apparent failure could be devastating. That’s why there seems to be such an epidemic of depression around. But you can actually change the way you think! There are times, that a rapid personal change is called for in order to avoid a free fall into the abyss. Fortunately, you are able to devote precious time towards self-improvement, because you’re not a robot! Your behavior ultimately depends on yourself, not on others or on ‘circumstances’. In addition, the world couldn’t care less about you and your ‘issues’, therefore you better get moving and sort yourself out. If you don’t, nobody else will.
