Staying Optimistic (from SELAH)

Posted by mjae on May 9, 2011 at 11:30 AM

Optimist: Person Who Travels on Nothing from Nowhere to Happiness ~Mark Twain

Do not let yourself be overcome by evil, but overcome (master) evil with good. ~Romans 12:21

It's easy to be optimistic and upbeat when things are going well. The real challenge of living with a positive focus, is when life starts handing you problem after problem. It is much more of a struggle to remain optimistic when there are difficulties swirling around you. Yet that is the time when a positive outlook can make the biggest difference.

Staying optimistic in the midst of troubles does not mean that you should live in a state of denial, refusing to even acknowledge your problems. Rather, you must clearly see the problems and all their implications, and refuse to let them get you down. Then go beyond that, and look for how you can turn the negative into a positive.

In every difficulty, there is opportunity. In order to see that opportunity, you must look for it. That means looking clearly and objectively at the problem, free of self-pity or wishful thinking.

Listen: What You Refuse To Overcome Will Eventually Overcome You..

You can be optimistic, no matter what.

Don't Deny Your Problems, But Don't Let Them Deny You....

Father In heaven, I stand on the promise of Your word.. Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them, because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world. ~1 John 4:4 ....... I will stay Optimistic.. I will Stay Positive In Jesus Name. ~Amen.
