Some random thoughts.

Yesterday I was listening to an audio where someone who defines himself as a successful man was in front of an audience. He was explaining how to have such a bearing that leads to success.

One of the things he pointed out is to be optimistic, he says that being an optimist is more difficult to achieve than being a pessimist.

I agree with that position he holds. I personally remained a pessimist for some years. I used to say that it is better to be negative in order for things to go well and no, it's not like that.

What this gentleman said yesterday in the audio is true. Optimism is cultivated, it's a continuous learning process, because we try to be optimistic and things go wrong. It is then that our behavior changes to the negative form and our energies fall and we become pessimistic.

That is the detail that optimism is cultivated, the worse things go, the better we have to bring out the best in ourselves. Bringing positive thinking to our mind, how do we do it?  Immediately, always think that behind the unpredictable and negative situation that happened there is a positive event that will come.

We must open our mind to receive optimism. Do not let the negative event take away the positive thinking, and so we must persevere.

That is the exercise to follow so that positive thinking always stays with us and remember that the negative is always easier to achieve, the positive is the difficult one.

Let it flow when the negative comes again and again. We have to let it run its course. It's not that we stand idly by, no, I didn't say that, it's to try not to let despair invade us in the face of so many negative events and not allow us to continue cultivating positivism.

Let me tell you that I personally found it very difficult. When I heard that man talking, I used to say that was me a few years ago, everything went wrong and I went from being positive to being negative and I could not get out of there... Until I started again.

Why am I complaining? Am I going to solve anything by complaining? No, I go deeper into pessimism when I repeat over and over again my complaint, so I stopped complaining.

I don't complain anymore, I still keep my positive thinking. Let me tell you what happened to me these days.

My son and I were on our way to a place to buy an appliance. It was already late, we left later than usual because of some interference. We took a bus and we were already going around the urbanization where we live, when suddenly my son said to me... "Mom, did you bring the card we're going to pay with?" I looked at him and said... "If you didn't take it from the table, I didn't either".

We looked at each other's faces and got off the transport, we couldn't do anything without the card that has the money to pay.

My son says to me "Mom are you upset about this thing we did?" and I replied that it wasn't worth getting upset about. We both forgot to take the card we always take from the table when we leave the house, but that wouldn't make me upset because things always happen for a reason, that's what I told my son.

And he just told me that if that happens to him he would have just been upset with himself. But I told him again "You have to change this fatalistic mentality to positive thoughts, neither of us wanted that to happen, we would both get off the bus and walk home to get the card and take the transport again."

We did, got the card, got back on a different bus and went where we were supposed to go.

It should be said that we couldn't get anything we went to buy, but we didn't know that was going to happen, and we couldn't know unless we got to the place. Another day we would have to go to another area and see if we could get the product we were looking for.

I can tell you that this fact did not bother me at all. I got used to cultivate positive thinking. Am I extreme with my good thoughts? That doesn't bother me either, but since I have made the choice to be happy, to not get upset so easily, to remain optimistic, my life has taken a different direction.

I have thoughts of all kinds because I am a human being, I don't allow the negative ones to absorb me and run my life, that is my current reality.
