Optimistic Is The Way To Be If You Really Want To Enjoy Life

Are we of an optimistic nature?

Sure you are - some if not most of the time. You may not see it that way but you probably are.

To be happy and content. To be excited by life. To be enthused by what you do.

To enjoy friendships. To tackle challenge with energy - we readily feel energized. To not (within reason) take no for an answer.

You want to see the best in things don't you? You want to see the good in things - to the extent that you are surprised when you discover the other side of things. That life is not always that way.

What is the attraction of pessimism anyway? Something to wallow in maybe. Something grey and dark certainly has some sort of attraction.

We feel that we are being bad and know it. And we are happy with that - for a while.

That is it. It seems good for a while. But only for a while and then . . . it is such a contrast to watching your friends and they way they seem to have such fun.

Fun. We would like some of that.

But being despondent and glum - does that really cut any ice? How can that really be the thing?

Who really wants to feel a bit depressed and unhappy with things? Not many I'm sure. We would much rather see and feel and participate in the other side of life.

We want the thaw. We want to kick pessimism into touch. We want nothing of it.

We want optimism. Fun. Enjoyment. Satisfaction.

Friendship. Companionship. Love. Joy.

Bring them all on.
