What’s Your Choice in Life ?
Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose your future. Choose life.
Trainspotting
Life is full of choices. You can choose to have a pessimistic view and live a self-defeated life (just like Renton in Trainspotting …, great movie by the way, just watched it again) or you may decide to take the optimistic route and live a challenging and fulfilling life.
An positive attitude benefits not only your mental health, but your physical well being as well. Optimism has been linked to positive mood and good morale; to academic, athletic and occupational success; to popularity; to good health; and even to long life.
We all face the same hard knocks of this world, but optimists tend to focus on and plan for the ‘problem’ at hand. They reinterpret a negative experience in a way that helps them learn and grow. Such people are untroubled by a bad situation; they look upon it as a challenge, and work out a solution and try harder.
They won’t say, “Things will never get better,” “If I failed once, it will happen again” and “If I experience misfortune in one part of my life, then it will happen in my whole life.”
Instead they say, “Things will only get better,” “I will learn from my mistake” and “I will go on to great success in my life.”
Optimists are proactive and less dependent on others for their happiness. They usually draw people towards them. Their optimistic view of the world can be contagious and influence those they are with.
When the going gets tough, optimists get tougher. They persevere. They just don’t give up easily, and inch their way a step closer to that goal or elusive dream.
Look forward to success in all your daily activities. Like everybody else you are bound to hit lows sometimes but don’t just stay there. Carry yourself out of the gloom and improve your chances of getting back on the right track.
Look at the sunny side of everything. Think only of the best, and expect only the best. Make the right choices and think positively towards a more fulfilling life. After all, life is full of exciting choices.
So have you made your choice in life ?
