Live A Life Without Limits | Pessimists & Optimists ✿

There are two kinds of people in the world, pessimists and optimists.

Pessimism is the state of mind which one anticipates undesirable outcomes or believes that the evil or bad in life overweigh the good or luxuries. Meaning you look on the negative side of life. 
Optimism is the mental attitude or world view that interprets situations and events as being good or best, meaning that you look on the positive side of life.

There is nothing that frustrates me more than pessimistic people. I don't mean people who see their imperfections and want to make them perfect, or people with low confidence. I mean people who insist on being negative all the time. Every outcome is negative and dull. What is the point? What will you get out of it? Nothing. 
Example- A pessimist would say "My drink is half empty." An optimist would say "My drink is half full."

Just pause for a moment and sit back and ask yourself these questions;
Do I want to be happy?
If your answer is yes, then smile. If the answer is no, then ask yourself why.
What do I want to get out of my life?
If your answer is, a family, then be proud. If your answer is, to be rich and live in a big house, go for it! If your answer is that you simply don't know then don't wish your life away.
Where do I want to be in 12 months time?
If your answer is "at the top" then push for it and work hard. If your answer is that you don't know, then do not wish your life away.
Am I happy with my life?
If the answer is yes, then good, keep going! If the answer is no, ask yourself why? Work out the changes you can make to be happy and make them changes!
Am I happy with my career/college/university choice?
If yes, then good! Keep going! If no then why not? What can you change, what career do you want? Then change it! Don't like your college course? Then switch it up! Don't like your university choice? Speak to someone who can help! 
If there is one thing in my life that I could change completely, what would it be and why?
Now this, I can't answer. This is a question not one person can answer but yourself. 

What I'm trying to get at is, why give yourself limits? Why not just launch yourself up into the sky? Go as far and as high up as you can, be yourself and don't think you ever have to please everyone! You weren't put on the earth to ignore your needs. No matter what knocks you down or knocks you back, just stand up straight and tell your self "I can do this." No matter how hard it may be, no matter how tough and bumpy the road may be. It doesn't matter! Be proud to be who you are. Be proud of what you've achieved and what you're achieving. Most of all, be yourself!

If you want to make a change, then change it, what is stopping you other than your own thoughts? If you want to be at the top then push to be at the top. If you want your own business, then make your own business. If you want what you can't have then go get it! 

"Can't" that one word just changes the whole meaning to one sentence. It is an ugly word. It is a word that should never be used. 

Change "I can't do this" to "I can do this". 
Say yes more.
Stop putting your life on hold.
Stop wishing time away.
Stop sleeping all day and get up and go do something productive.
Stay positive.
Believe that something good will happen.
You never know, that one little thing that you change or that you say or that you do, may just change your life forever. Who would pass up that opportunity? Only you can answer that.

So, what are you now? Pessimist or optimist?

Most importantly. Believe in yourself. You CAN do this. 
I believe in you.

Live a life without limits.

  2. No one actually wants to be a pessimist, its just that the situation plays tricks and you see demons even when they aren't there.....its all in the conviction power of the mind
