Optimism
Like the innocence and hopefulness of a child, with optimism, all things seem possible. As adults that childhood wonder is always accessible though more often than not we strain against our own fate.
Responsibilities can become enjoyable rather than dreadful obligations with optimism. Have you ever asked yourself what if It was guaranteed that everything will work out? It provides a sense of freedom from the daunting inner conflicts our minds love to play.
You are what you think regardless of what kind of thoughts your practicing. They will manifest one way or another so what is the harm in changing your outlook to be more optimistic. Even in defeat there are valuable lessons to learn. Knowing that we are always one choice away from a different outcome may be just enough optimism for today.
