Life is good, so why not enjoy it and what better way to start the new year than to be hopeful or to be more precise, optimistic about it. To start off, here are 10 Thoughts on Optimism from www.wholeliving.com
1. Happiness doesn't just happen, it emerges.
2. Let yourself make mistakes. Happiness is not found in perfection.
3. Treat happiness as a method, not an end in itself.
4. Misery may be contagious -- but so is joy.
5. Take pleasure in others' happiness, as it will augment your own.
6. Optimism isn't just a shift in perspective. It's an act of bravery.
7. Don't believe what you hear. Life is good.
8. Keep revisiting your connection to spirit. Let it evolve as you grow.
9. Respond to life with openness and curiosity.
10. Don't wait for your mood to change; take action despite it.
I certainly felt optimistic just by reading these thoughts and I hope that you were infected by it also. If so, spread the love! Don't you just want to take life by it's horns and take over? After all, life is a series of ups and downs, twists and turns. Hopefully, the new year will be brighter for all of us. Here's to a blessed life and love from my family to yours in 2011.
