Every day I meet cynical people, they are everywhere. Optimists are much more pleasant.
Optimism is seeing the best in all things, even in the face of opposition. Optimism has its roots in faith. When I say faith, I don’t mean faith in the sense of religion but faith in the “belief” that the “expectation” you possess will bring you what you want. Here is the hard part… You might say that you want good things to happen. You might want a good job, the perfect relationship, the pay you have always believed that you should earn, but what are your feelings about it? If you have cynical thoughts, the disappointments YOU ARE EXPECTING manifest themselves. If you want GOOD things to happen to you, BELIEVE in them. You must genuinely EXPECT them. Become optimistic that the good things you want in life WILL manifest themselves and you will receive them. |
