Damned good post Gman and Spooky

I know damned well you're right...but I've found my own way (dont get mad at me )

I simply just work at being an optomist. I dont worry about what's gunna suck, I think about how good Friday night will be, or how even though Teusday might end up being a long day, I'm going out for lunch with an old friend... It works very well for me personally at least
It got me recognised at my very first job. Even though I was far younger and less experienced than other cooks and chefs, I think it's a fair statement to say that I know I was well loved. How? Because people told me; from bosses to those eventually under me, they enjoyed working with someone that I was always possitive, every morning, and at the end of every day....always! (and if you've worked in a kitchen especially, you know how hard that is to pull off every damned day )

I know the good Gman doesnt believe in dreams, but I do... (young and stuborn he probably thinks )

I have dreams for what I want my life to be, the person I want to be, the family I wan to have, hell...albiet shallow in the eyes of some, the house and car I want I have goals set and written down in a draw right under this keyboard. Therefore, what I'm saying in faaaar too many words is that I cant just live for RIGHT NOW, I plan, think ahead and look forward for what's coming...


Nice Post....

Re-Read what I posted though, buddy. I didn't say to live for Right Now. I said to live in the now... You'll never realize any of you goals if you live them before you get there. That would be like climbing a mountain and not looking at your feet or the ground you are walking on, because you are focused on the Peak. Good way to take a serious fall. You glance up at the peak, when you things are tough you take a moment and envision the peak, but you don't 'focus' on the peak. You focus on climbing.

Optimism, in the sense you are talking about, is simply understanding cycles. Life is up and life is down. When life is up, live it up, but prepare for the fall. When life is down, bear down and focus on what needs to be done and know that it will pick up some time.

Optimism is required for happiness. Absolutely required. Glad you have plenty.
