So this is my inaugural post. Welcome. I've already talked about what this blog is intended to be over here, so it doesn't seem to bear repeating. In a nutshell, I am striving to become a more positive person, abandoning my natural cynicism on a desert island with a pistol and a single shot.
I've already made strides to cut negative, toxic people out of my life, as much as I can. And I'm seeking out more of the naturally positive people who make me smile just by popping up in a chat window to say "Hi". The people who enrich and enhance my life just by being in it. I want to be that naturally positive person for someone else.
So here I am, on a journey to turn myself into an optimist. Not the kind who turns a blind eye to problems, but the kind of person who adheres to the philosophy that it will all turn out all right in the end--and if everything is not all right, it is not the end.
My roadmap to this end goal is to strive to find the positive in the everyday. So that if somebody asks me, "How was your day?" I can recount something awesome instead of the annoying thing my boss did or this disappointment or that rude remark someone made. Life is full of stress. That's a constant that isn't going to change as long as I'm breathing. The trick is learning to manage it and focusing on the positive.
I'm not making any claims toward having all the answers. I'm DEFINITELY not claiming all my posts will be interesting to other people. But maybe I'll have a few gems pop up from time to time. And I hope to pick up some more of those positive people along the way.
