Optimism or Bust!

Apr.29, 2006 in Emotions, General, Human Tendencies, Rules of Living

I realized over the years that I’d grown a little more cynical. Strange, but true. I used to be very optimistic. Probably part of my own training that got me there. But somewhere, I started to get involved in the ‘what if’ club, where fear and worry are the primary drivers of life. I do my best not to wallow in either, but I do know thatÂ optimism is just as inaccurate as pessimism. I was told however, that optimists have a lot more fun. :) Either way, optimism can be seen as a carrier of better health. I’ve come close to wondering if I’ve been having fun anymore. As it stands now, I think I could have a little more fun, and at the same time, stay healthy because of the fun I’m having.

So, for the sake of my mental health and physical well-being, I should decidedly be optimistic anyway. :)

Perhaps then, optimism is one of the pillars of the Rules of Living.

I’ll have more on optimism, but right now, my stomach is getting pessimistic with “when are you going to get my lunch”.

Catch you soon.
