It is my humble opinion that it’s not what you believe about the future that matters, but what you do about it. While pessimists debate whether their goals are attainable, optimists are out there trying to achieve them.
…a brighter tomorrow might be just around the corner.
It takes no genius to discover that the difference between an optimist and a pessimist is the way they explain events to themselves – the self talk. While an optimist may view a negative situation as fleeting, a pessimist becomes engrossed in the negativity.
An optimist may look at the rain and say, “Great! my lawn needed water”; while a pessimist may see the rain for what it is… a wet day. Optimist people believe that good things are contagious and that there will be more goodness coming their way and they feel that they are responsible for creating the conditions that attract good into their lives.
Optimistic people don’t blame or put themselves down when things don’t go as planned. If things don’t work out, they keep trying they tell themselves that success is not due to their inability; they tell themselves that their set back has to do with some external factor.
Being able to monitor and manage your self talk is a great skill to develop, it will help you come in touch with your emotions rather than your emotions controlling you.

“Negative attitudes” are NOT the world’s only problems
“Positive attitudes” alone are NOT real solutions
Cut off my fingers if you hate this loud text-catharsis
Cut off my fingers if this text is just grouchy rudeness
Old, exalted exiles
Sicken sheltered stomachs
Monday-morning’s mattress
Fails to lure the restless
Old, exalted exiles alternate between parallel alleys
Palms and fingers rise and silence the alarm-clocks of annoyance
Now the world is changing faster than a king’s horses could gallop
Virus-memes are driving all of the contrived ways we develop
Drones are now going public with a Song-And-Dance routine gone haywire
Wireless, wild mobile messages unite the zones the rich guns conquer
Empires gulp down communities and then decay as big, dead giants
Leaving gross phragmaplasm on a planet paved with hot-rod commerce
System-survivors have endured enough gentle verbiage
Spoken by merchants who have always met every challenge
“Positive attitudes” alone are NOT real solutions
Text is the jungle for my legal, safe temper-tantrums
“Negative attitudes” are NOT the world’s only problems
