When things go wrong, or don't turn out how I envision, I usually get over it pretty easily. I believe that things work out the way they are supposed to. If some opportunity passes me by— it wasn't meant to be.
Then there are days when its harder to be optimistic. Luckily, I'm feeling pretty optimistic today. On the off-chance that tomorrow, or next week, or even next month I'm feeling differently— I've decided I need to come up with some remind myself to stay optimistic.
What should that be? A letter to myself? A special video on youtube to brighten my day? A tattoo?
Okay, the last one was a joke. I'm not sure what mechanism I should devise or item I should keep nearby. It should be small, easily to keep in my person. I'll think on it. And I promise you'll be the first to know. But seriously, when your planning on putting yourself into a situation primed for rejection—it's a good idea to brace yourself. I'm not saying you should go into any situation with the mindset of "This isn't going to work, so I might as well get over it." With that attitude, you can't accomplish anything.
Optimism can't get you everywhere, but it sure seems to make a lot more sense than focusing on the negative.
