Is your glass half empty or half full?
In a recent Linkedin Poll I conducted, 19% of people said they were Pessimistic, 70% Optimistic, and 11% other.
As pessimistic person typically has a viewpoint that expects the worst in any situation, whereas, an optimistic person anticipates a favorable outcome for the future.
Ok, let's say something challenging happens, the pessimistic person says, "I told you so!', and the optimistic person says, "Tomorrow will be a brighter day!".
Who's right?
Perhaps it's not as much about right and wrong but letting our reality inspire our future.
“It’s one thing to positively about your future and another to be inspired by reality.”—Ronald Siegel

In steps present thinking.
When we are anchored in a present reality (acknowledging our real-time feelings) while committed to living in a state of gratitude (looking for the good regardless of our circumstances), it naturally paves the way for a favorable outcome.
Now it's time for some self-reflection!

2yGreat perspective Robb and I really love the reflections your provide at the end. I am under the opinion that emotions are neither good nor bad, but can be very valuable teachers. The more we label certain emotions, good or bad, the more we work to avoid or repress them, which means the more they will continue… but I think a feeling is just a feeling and can be an important source of information if we don’t let them run our lives. Present thinking with gratitude. I love that!
