Optimism & Positive thinking

Change your thinking,change your life!

You can change your thinking patterns over time. Even a pessimist can become an optimist with enough practice! All you need to do is to reframe how you define events. Instead of dwelling on the bad experience, analyze it to figure out what good can come of it. Even if a project at work is deemed a failure, think about what you learned during the process. What strengths did you discover within yourself, and when can you use those talents again?though It's not right to ALWAYS blame "external forces" for your failure. Sometimes it really is our own shortcoming. We didn't do our best. We didn't give it our all. It makes me sad when I don't do my best, because I know I could've done better. But the optimistic thing to do here is to reflect, learn from your mistakes and try again. It's okay to regret and be sad/angry for a little while but never let failure set you back. Without failing, we can't improve.

Virtually any failure can be turned into a learning experience, which increases your potential for success in the future.

We need the good times, the bad times, the joy, the sadness, the excitement, the depression, the calm and the anxiety. I believe that's how it was meant to be. To believe that life should be a 24/7 happy party is just not real. In my opinion, today's society believes that if you are not happy all the time, then you must rush off to your doc for medication. Positive change happens from recognizing a negative and solving it. If a person is not willing to accept the negative, they will never find the positive solution.

Optimism is a skill of emotional intelligence, which translates to a better career and greater success in life. Life is too short to be miserable, so start turning your thinking around! Positive thoughts, an optimistic outlook, and overall happiness can advance your prospects for work, relationships and other life experiences.
