    The True Meaning of Optimism 

    True Optimism is about “Solution Oriented Realism”. It’s about taking into account the Good, Bad and the Ugly, then flexibly weighing up the Problems and Opportunities with the Resources one has at one’s disposal, then deciding whether sacrificing in the MOMENT will reap Big rewards in the future.

    Yes… True Optimism is about knowing when to take 2 steps backwards before moving forwards once again.

    The other type of Optimism is the kind where people don’t seem to feel the weight of their problems on their shoulders, they don’t see the weeds that are destroying their dreams, and they fail to understand that life isn’t a straight line forward, but rather a curved line that turns in on itself time after time before moving forward once again.

    Life Doesn’t Get You What You Want 

    Several years ago, I went through a period where I was wholeheartedly engrossed in the Law of Attraction. I read every book I could get my hands on and did those little things that would supposedly help me attract what I wanted most into my life. For instance I wrote a cheque (check) to myself for millions of dollars and affirmed everyday that I attract good fortune into my life.

    What I didn’t realize at the time was that the Law of Attraction DOESN’T WORK if my Values are in conflict, if I have limiting Beliefs, if my Priorities are not aligned with my Goals, and if I don’t take any action :(

    Today I realize that life doesn’t get me WHAT I WANT, but rather WHAT I DESERVE based on my Subconscious Psychological Tendencies. And unless I work on my Psychology every single day, than I will struggle in every way.
