"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." Winston Churchill
Are you nice, patient and friendly only when things go you way? Does your facial countenance shift with the winds of fortune? Or, do you possess the intestinal fortitude to weather the storm?
In good times it is easy to be upbeat, positive and optimistic. The challenge is to maintain an upbeat disposition in trying times. In times of struggle and strife, far too many succumb to the torrential waves of pessimism.
But pessimism is a blinding affliction; it blinds the host from their blessings; because ironically, opportunity sows it's seeds in the soil of hard times, only to be harvested by those that understand the seasonal cycle of life.
First we form habits, then they form us. Conquer your bad habits or they will conquer you.
Rob Gilbert
The optimistic mind vigilantly guards against the addictive culture of pessimism.
