Featured article : How To Think Like An Optimist

So what is an optimist, well it’s someone with a positive outlook on life Optimists generally believe that people and events are inherently good. They have a so-called "positive" outlook on life, believing that things will work out in the end. Many experts will say that when you change the way you look at things, it will change your life – and believe me, it’s true. So, if you are sitting around expecting the worst will happen- then guess what - you’ll be certain to find it does. You will find all the mistakes you made enroute to the goals you have set yourself. In addition, you will notice all of the problems there are with your plan after which you’ll stop trying because – you’ve guessed it - you’ve decided that everything is going to go wrong.

Well, this is where so many people stumble on their way to happiness and to the changes they want to make. They can see all the bad things in their life that it overshadows everything that is going right.

So, if this describes you, then take just one day to try to see your life through the eyes of an optimist. Ignore everything that is or appears to be going wrong and focus on being a complete and utter optimist. Whilst you might dismiss this approach at first as being silly, what you’re doing is adding another perspective, an objective perspective as your view of the world. Optimists look at the world as though it only has good things to offer and in that thinking, they see the opportunities for learning and growth, rather than the obstacles in their way. Instead of getting upset about the car that cut them off in traffic, they hope that there wasn’t an emergency that caused the driver to need to go so fast.

True optimists see the world as only offering good things and by thinking in that way, they see and can grasp opportunities for learning and growth not letting obstacles get in their way. So if a car cuts them up, instead of getting angry and uptight, they hope it wasn’t an emergency that caused the driver to act in that way.

To become an Optimist takes practice, so start by thinking about your life as though it were the life of your best good friend. When you feel that things are going wrong, try to change your thinking and look to being more positive. So if, for example, your friend loses their job, don’t say it was because she worked for the worst employee (even if you believe this to be the case), just say that it wasn’t their fault and it had to have happened for some other reason.

Such positive attitude when applied to yourself and your life lets you start to see a much wider range of possibilities in than you would otherwise do by focusing on the problems.

Can you become and optimist?  Of course you can, after all an optimist is simply someone that seeks to find the good in everything. So, take action today and for just one day try to do the same. Can you do this everyday?  Well who knows, but it is unlikely until you have practiced for a while and conditioned yourself to have a positive attitude. 

But if you can do this, you are helping to get your life to be as wonderful as you want it to be.  You will find that it is as wonderful as your life really is, but it’s just that you hadn’t noticed just how wonderful it was before, purely because you hadn’t previously paid attention and had previously focussed in the problems and the things that were not working out.
