Real Optimism.....

"Real optimism is aware of problems but recognizes solutions;
knows about difficulties but believes they can be overcome;
sees the negatives, but accentuates the positives;
is exposed to the worst but expects the best;
has reason to complain, but chooses to smile."
~ William Arthur Ward

I received this message from thedailylove.com,
I Loved it and wanted to share, I choose to smile too! with Love, Linda

very good, i try to do those things everyday. i try to beleive that i can overcome any obsticle. this post was a reminder that my belief in myself is just what i need to get me thru life. thanks for posting

So true

What i got from this quote was when i am at a point and i feel like i am about to complain about something, i will try to stop myself and let it go. I can be very complainy at times definitely not one of my better traits

I also loved how you mentioned you smiled too, reading this made me smile :lovesigh:

Many Blessings

I liked that post it's like the parables in the Bible if we could all live with those thoughts in mind every day we would be able to overcome many trying situations.Thank you Linda for posting that.
