WHY NOT BE AN OPTIMIST?

WHY NOT BE AN OPTIMIST?

 It is highly likely that within your sphere of influence there are people with diverse attitudes toward life.  Some always see the glass of water as half-full; others typically see the same glass as half-empty. 

 To be transparent, I find it extremely difficult to expend my God-given (finite) days with people who habitually see the worst outcomes in life as unavoidable and inevitable.  From their perspective, sickness is sure to knock at their door; losses are just around every corner; friends will always disappoint.  I have reprinted a related insight by an unknown author for your consideration:

 “An optimist believes we live in the best of all possible worlds.  A pessimist fears this is true.  However, winners see risks as opportunities.  They envision the rewards of success in advance.  They do not fear the penalties or stigma of failure.  The winning individual knows that bad outcomes are attracted by negative thinking and that an attitude of optimistic expectancy is the surest way to create an upward cycle that attracts victories.  Winners realize that so-called ‘luck’ is nothing more than the intersection of preparation and opportunity.  If an individual is not prepared, he or she simply does not see or take advantage of a situations that move them toward their potential.   Opportunities are always around, but only those who are prepared will utilize them effectively.”

 My friend, life is short, so make a wise and productive choice.  Optimist or Pessimist?

 Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
