Optimism
When was the last time you felt unbounded optimism?
a tendency of ours when going through a time is that we tend to squash that sliver of optimism that
tries to creep back up. It's simply rejected and denied or reason away by fallacious logic. It is
incredibly hard but we must at least try to practice realistic optimism. It helps a great deal :)
@zealousGrace5023 I think I felt almost invincible when I was walking around the stage to get my degree. There was no better feeling than finally knowing all my hard work was worth it and that I was finally done! Thanks for this post!
@fruityPond7887 that's incredible! i love that so much, congratulations!
@zealousGrace5023 Thank you so much!❤️

Great post! Often I feel really optimistic after something that I've been working really hard on turns out successful or well. Often time the euphoria of success pushes me to want to strive for success further. I think this is a great motivator, yet it's not sustainable as often I'm not achieving something everyday. I think realistic optimism is something I have to practice because it's optimism that helps you stay disciplined and go through the down times to achieve your goal.
@sunnyWriting4806 Thank you! and success is a great driver but true it's not the most sustainable
Good on you to be aware of that and work towards developing a more realistically optimistic view!
Good luck!
@zealousGrace5023 When I finished my histology final, it was difficult but I passed so I felt optimistic for the rest of the exams
@comfortableNight4463 That's awesome! best of luck with any and all future exams
@zealousGrace5023 Thank you so much!

the beginning of the year was a bit hard for me ! definitely challenging and it caused me to get behind on some of my schoolwork haha (a lot, actually !) however, i did manage to stay optimistic throughout it all and it really helped me to finish all my work before grades were do. i am so proud of myself and so happy that i had this motivation :)
