Hard To Not Be Pessimistic

How often do you feel that nagging doubt at the back of your mind, Ami?

Those thoughts of the worst case scenarios that sometimes come when a situation gets worse.

It's hard for me...sometimes.

When I hope for a good outcome, scenes of the bad outcomes play out in my mind.

Not all the time tho.

Fear! Fear!! 

"What would they think? What if....."

But one thing I know, no doubts whatsoever, is that all things work together for the best.

I had a conversation with a friend one day on WhatsApp (before my challenge) and I was wishing him the best.

Then he later said something along the lines of "sometimes, what we think to be the worst outcome may be disguised as the best thing that could happen to us".

And what he said made me realize that we should always do what we need to.

Feeling the fear but going ahead anyways, as long as it's not going to cost anything much if things go wrong.

Pessimism shouldn't be an excuse to not take action. It's best to do it, whether it will work out or not.

At least, if I fail, I learn.....so technically it's not a failure.

You can wait or take a break but never...ever give up on that dream you have.

I feel better now, Ami....thinking through these doubts have taken away pessimistic tendencies.

I look to the week with a lot of hope...good things to come for you and me.

And remember, the path is the goal.

See you next time, Ami.

PS: I just remembered a quote from an animated movie I watched (I think it was called "SING"). It goes something like:

"When you hit rock bottom, the only way to go is up". ☝

To me, it means you should always pick up whenever you fall down and keep going.
