I'm a bit fascinated by the way people see optimists and pessimists. I also think there are multiple facets to the terms and that many people are a mix of both. For instance, I always expect the worst, but I focus on the good in life. Everyday is a good day, but in any given situation I'm sure that something will go wrong, but it will also turn out fine in the end. I used to be precisely opposite of this. Everyday was a bad day, although things will go just fine, but life will suck anyway, so what does it matter? .-= Slinky´s last blog ..Lifestyle Inflation =-.

What I find in my coaching is that it takes daily practice to change a way of thinking and most of us do NOT have automatic positive reactions when things don’t go the way we want. That’s why I developed a daily template for people to start a daily process of noticing and changing their reactions.

An amazing thing – yesterday I heard on Nationial Public Radio that the military has started Positive Mental Attitude Training as part of boot camp. You’ve got to like that!!!

Jeff, Great article, made me think more positive of things already. Sometimes it is hard to see silver lining, but once you start seeing good in everything, life becomes what you feel. True. I enjoy reading articles here as always, so much to learn. .-= Zengirl´s last blog ..Healing the hurting heart =-.

I love this rule! I especially appreciated your statement that "We have to choose positivity and optimism!" I find this to be so true and so vital to having a great life. The same proactive, intentional approach will also help you have an awesome marriage, a strong family, financial success, etc. Despite inevitable setbacks and tough times along the way, you ultimately "own" your own attitude and approach toward your life. You truly do choose whether you will have a positive, optimistic approach to each day you are blessed to live.
