Optimism Thought of the Week

Anticipate

When you wake up each morning what do you anticipate will happen, and how often of what you anticipate actually occurs?  Our brain is set like a plane headed to a certain destination.

If we anticipate the day will be disastrous the odds are very likely it will be. What if we took that very same day, but come at it with a different approach. Every day is not going to be pleasant, but every day does give us an opportunity to practice our approach.

The type of day changes with the approach we make towards it. We may not be able to control the wind that pushes against us, but what we can control is how we approach it.
