There’s never a better time than now to take a deep look inside and engage in change. Being positive and happy doesn’t come easily for many, especially in the face of chronic disease and other life stressors – there’s a constant process at hand.
Misery may “enjoy company” but I argue that the true draw remains with those that are optimistic in nature regardless of their daily struggles.
Life’s challenges are like rocks thrown at our feet – we know we have to be on the ready, because they’re coming. Some days we want to kick them, other days we pick them up, gently inspect them and toss them to the side – occasionally they make their way back home with us in a pocket and perch on a windowsill.
- How do you feel and react to most things in your life?
- Do you consider yourself an optimist, a realist or a pessimist?
- Do you think the way you see yourself falls in line with the way others perceive you? (If you’re ready to hear the truth, ask an honest person that knows you well.)
