To Succeed
More, Become an Optimist
Have you ever been to an Optimist Club meeting? If you haven’t, you’re
missing out on a great time. I’ve had the pleasure of speaking for the
Optimists a few times and it's always been a blast.
Since then, I’ve done a little research on optimists and pessimists, and
I learned some interesting things…
Optimists are usually the most successful, most influential, happiest
and healthiest people in any group. Why? Because it has been proven that
you become what you think about most of the time.
Optimists are not born. They are made. Optimists are people who figured
out that it didn’t pay to be a pessimist. They just made a decision to
stop being pessimistic.
What do optimists think about? They think and talk about what they want
and how to get it. They think about how to get where they want to go.
Just thinking about their dream, goal, mission, or destination makes
them happy. Thinking about the dream gives them energy. It motivates
them to take action.
What do pessimists think about? They think and talk about what they
don’t want. They dwell on people they don’t like and on problems they
are having. The more they think about their problems and their setbacks,
the angrier and more negative they become. By focusing on the negative,
they attract the things they don’t want to happen into their lives.
Both optimism and pessimism are very contagious states of mind. So don't
hang around the pessimists, they might just infect you.
Optimists brighten up a room when they enter it. Pessimists brighten up
a room when they leave it. Which do you want to be? One way will make
you more successful. The other will make you less successful. It’s your
choice.
