Quote of the day: "There is no sadder sight than a young pessimist"- Mark Twain
My thoughts: This quote is rather true in my book. Pessimism is a bad thing, if we never think we can move that mountain then we never will. Sometimes life's gonna knock us down, but we can't stay down. We have to rise above what knocked us down in the first place. Sitting there and saying how bad this is, and being all negative about it will not change the situation. But having a positive outlook and trying to figure out how to rise again will. Plus learning to rise above something takes courage, it's easy to admit defeat and leave it at that, trust me I've considered it a few times. But it takes so much more to rise. And when you rise, it's an amazing feeling. To know that you rose above something that could of kept you down and out, it's great. It's also a great way to learn about yourself, learn how strong you really are. You're probably a lot stronger then you think, remember that which does not kill you only makes you stronger.
So, meet challenges and don't let them keep you down. Don't let them make you stay down complaining about how bad life is, rise above them. Put a positive spin on things. Don't live a glass half empty life, live a half full glass one. It will make you happier and make you a stronger person.
Dum Spiro, Spero everyone
