Are Optimist Realists?
If we focus too much on what we have lost or what we could loose than we will miss the win-win that still remains.
Optimists are often ridiculed for not being realistic. They are accused of putting on rose colored glasses and then thinking everything is just rosy. I believe that individuals who focus on what has gone wrong and what can go wrong are in truth do not see things for what they really are.
As Henry Ford once said “those that say it can’t be done need to get out of the way of those that are doing it.”
An optimist sees things as they really can be. An optimist can create what seems impossible by simply being open to what is possible. An optimist takes every step he can toward the desired out come even when he does not know exactly how to get there knowing that the closer he gets the more clear the path will be.
I am grateful for those individuals that were able to move past common knowledge to create the impossible. Flight, the man on the moon, a cell phone, and still there is more to come.
Get your healthy dose of optimism today.
