It Could Always Be Worse...

I am an OPTIMIST. Always have been, probably always will be.

I don't know why I am this way... I was born that way... I like to think on the brighter side of things. I always try to find the positive result of things... I always think... "Wow, it could always be worse!"

Many times, I have looked back at my life and experiences and have thought to myself... "well, it could have been worse." I have learned complaining doesn't solve anything. It is better to find a solution instead.

Now, don't get me wrong, I do like to complain. Sometimes, I think I am an expert COMPLAINER.

Some like to think I am a "LECTURER..." not too sure I agree... I like to think I am an EXPLAINER.

Is that an OPTIMISTIC way  of putting it? Hmmm... Food for thought huh!

So, maybe I need to think differently (not like an OPTIMIST).

If I was on the other side of being EXPLAINED to... I might not like it... I might think, "I heard this before, why is he telling me again... this is bad... I will not listen..."

But I guess it is all perspective...

This leads me to my point... I want to have others be more OPTIMISTIC.

If more people were OPTIMISTIC, then maybe instead of complaining or being negative, more things would actually get done... (this is not to say that I am not LAZY because... well... I am an expert there too... but then again who isn't).

So, I get grief sometimes because of my OPTIMISTISM.

But that is ok... It could always be worse...
