Learning How To Acquire An Optimistic View In Life

By Nicholas Gregg


Death. No one wants it and no one wants to talk about it even amongst the closest of friends. This is why people want to live life but none are really experiencing life the way it should be. For some, living life means getting the right job while others is all about spending time with their loved ones. We all have different ways to live our lives but there are only a few that have the privilege.

Life for what is now. Some people are too focused on tomorrow and what it might come that they forget what is happening to them right now. Good examples for this are people who work very hard and neglect themselves today. Life is for the present and not for the past nor for tomorrow.

Love will always come with a price and that is pain. There is no love when there is no pain. You can never truly love someone when you are not hurt with that same person. Some people stay out from love to avoid the pain but you cannot avoid love therefore you cannot avoid pain. The best thing to do about it is to live with it.

Get to feel the pain, the love, the excitement, all of the emotions that human beings are meant to feel even the most unpleasant feelings. They send you a message about how you truly feel and disregarding them means you disregard yourself. Be in touch with your feelings and never rationalize with your emotions because emotions are different from reasons.

There are people who do not fear death instead, they fear life. They are so incapacitated when it comes to living life that they stick to what they are used to. Life is all about taking risks even if you know the consequences are serious. It is in that satisfaction that you have taken a risk in life that makes it worth living.

Always say the truth even if others are not willing to do and even if others will be angry at you. The best thing you can do when people are mad at you for telling the truth is to tell them that you are brave enough to accept the consequences of telling the truth than stay safe by telling a lie.

Do what you really love to do. If you want to travel around the world, do something to invest money so that you can travel around. Never live your life with regrets of not doing the things that you love.

If there is something you want to do, do it. As long as it does not affect others or you are not put into a life and death situation then go for it. Do not lie on your deathbed wishing for something that you could have done for yourself like spending more time with your family or climb the mountain you have been wanting to for several years.
