It's definitely been proven your mood and ultimately your outlook can and does impact what you encounter on a daily basis. If you expect things to go well they most likely will. It's interesting to me how 2 people can perceive the same situation differently. This really started to make me think a few years ago when I really discovered my husband's propensity to always see the bright side of things. He tells me he's optimistic and I am negative. I have always thought, "no, I am just realistic". What I am learning now is maybe if you aren't positive you are negative. Is there really such a thing as realistic? What is realistic? Isn't it subjective?
I think now, it really is how you view things that determines what the outcome will be. I think it's difficult for us to always assume the best, because we naturally want to prepare ourselves for the worst. The last few years have thrown me a lot of changes, stressors, and unexpected curve balls. So, I think I have a tendency to wait for the other shoe to fall so to speak.
Each day I am learning that I can change the outlook of my life with my attitude. It is a tough thing to re-wire your brain. But then again, what is our other option?
I believe that unwelcome things are going to happen to all of us at some point. But what's the harm in believing the best is always going to happen?
I empower you to try it for just one day. No matter what life hands you, no matter what happens, who gets you annoyed, keep a postitive perspective. Give people the benefit of the doubt. Make the best day of your life be today. Why not?
