Being optimistic is thought of by some as "unrealistic" and shooting for the stars, and not being down to earth.
People who are very optimistic ten to be looked at as idealists and people who fail to account for the possible negative results.
It seems that generally most people live with a "realistic" mindset always expecting the worst in a situation and preparing for failure, fearing uncertainty.
These people are extremely protective and hold on to things, and rarely take bold actions.
Optimists on the other hand, always have a feeling of certainty in their mind.
They are in a constant state of positive expectancy and always look at the best part of a situation.
They have learned to manage their emotional state and prevent negative emotions dis-empowering emotions from entering their mind.
The mindset of the optimist is critical, because it allows for huge risks, bold actions, persistence and resiliency.
These are all the key factors for amazing success.
I will tell you right now, that the single most important thing for controlling your destiny is your mindset.
Learn to cultivate your mind, and you will shape your world the way you want it.
Cultivating optimism is the first step to significantly changing the outcomes in your life.
The way you act and react in every situation, determines your motivation, determination, enthusiasm, passion and belief in yourself.
Taking on a positive mindset and always being grateful in every situation, always taking the best out of every experience, and seeing each moment as a gift to learn, grow and expand yourself is a blueprint for heading on a path in your life of extraordinary results.
Even when things seem uncertain, or adverse, you must embrace it and always be in a state of positive expectancy.
The importance of positively expecting is that you are always keeping yourself open to accept every little thing that comes into your life.
Most people lose the ability to stay in this state, and they miss out on many good opportunities.
They see their glass as half empty, and because of this look for all the bad things and the things that can go wrong.
The law of attraction has great significance, as it attracts into your life the things that you focus on.
People who lack the optimistic mindset, fail to focus on the positives, so they attract all the things they expect, and never see positive outcomes.
Then they say "See, I told you this would happen" or "I knew it wasn't possible to succeed doing this...
".
The fact is that they never gave themselves the chance in the first place, and so it plays out as a self-fulfilling prophecy and reinforces their beliefs about "expecting the worst".
They will never have incredible success, because they don't have the right mindset.
I cannot stress enough how important it is to first set yourself up with the correct mindset, if you wish to lead the path of most success and amazing outcomes.
It first starts with a decision to expect the best, and always take the good out of every situation.
This process alone will transform your life dramatically.
