Traits of an optimist

The next time you're feeling down, try this: imagine you're a leaf on the wind. You can't control where you go —

you just have to take a chance and hope that somewhere, your next step will lead you in the right direction.

The world is full of people who want to hold you back, but they don't realize that every day you keep moving forward, they get smaller and smaller in your life. If they get too small for you to notice them, then they aren't worth knowing anyway!

So what if things don't always work out the way you want them to? Who cares?! You can learn from every experience that comes your way, and then use what happens next as an opportunity to grow even more. And remember: NO is not in the vocabulary of anyone who wants to live their best life!
