The pink glasses

The definition for optimism by Oxford English Dictionary is "hopefulness and confidence about the future or successful outcome of something; a tendency to take a favourable or hopeful view”. To have this attitude a person must be able to visualise the outcome and focus on the possible options of get there.  The optimist must have self confidence, enthusiasm and determination but also confidence in the operation of this world. It is that trust that really helps to get the optimist to the target as it omits stress. Once a person is relaxed he can make the right decisions after weighing up all the options.

The good news is that optimism can be taught. You may need to practice a little but if instead of choosing to look at what is the worst thing that can happen you’ll opt to view in your imagination what is the best thing that will happen you are already half way to success. By imagining the positive outcome you are setting yourself the target you wish to get to. Once you have a target you can just lay the steps of how to get there.

I read once in The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield that there is no coincident. According to this book the world is based on energies that are attracted to similar energies. The most common example is how many times you thought of a person and then the phone rung and that person was on the other side? If that is the case (today you might heard it is called ‘The Law of Attraction’) then as the optimist start to plan his way for the target the whole universe will connect to the plan and make it work.

I am sure some of you know people that are super motivated and enthusiastic and have positive thinking and they still didn’t get what they wanted.  How can this be explained? This is where I personally believe that your target or your way didn’t agree with operating system of this world and that is why no collaboration was formed. But most important, I truly believe that it is not the end target that is important but it is the way you got there. If you got to the end of your journey in a positive and stress free way it is a lot better than getting there with the target under your arm and no joy in your life.

I knew a very brave woman who used to say that she is always looking at the world through pink glasses and then everything looks fine. She was my mum and today is her memorial day.

Today’s post is dedicated for her soul elevation.

Amen.
