Being a Realist 101
Dec 25th
If you couldn’t tell by my post last week, How to Kill it in the Fourth Quarter, I’m really excited about these next three months. Despite all the negativity, fear-mongering, and “realist” ideologies floating around, I think we can change our future for the better. I do think America can and will recover with a good amount of effort and creativity. I’m not excited because that’s how it will happen, but excited because there is so much opportunity and potential that it could happen.
There will be people who become healthy in the “great recession”. There will be people who become wealthy in the “great recession”. And there will be people who become happy in the “great recession”. If the recession can teach you anything, it’s that the strong always persist and always succeed.
A recession is more people believing they can’t than people believing in themselves and that they can. That’s exactly why confidence and emotional feelings can make the stock market crash or boom. That’s me being a realist.
And that’s exactly why I want to touch on the topic of energy drainers. Many people explain their cynical views and justify them with the claim of being a realist. Well I’m saying they or you (if you hold that personality) are energy drainers. Walking around being a realist (the pessimist kind) drains the energy of others and more importantly, yourself. That’s not going to get us out of the recession or push you closer to your goals.
Who wants to hear a negative statement or opinion? I mean once in a while we all fall subject to making one, but it shouldn’t be a consistent issue. I’d much rather be around people who make positive statements and have positive opinions (delusional or not) because those people are called leaders, or energy radiators (radiate energy).
You know what being a realist is? Being a realist is accepting the fact that you are responsible for what you make in your life everyday. If you want to be healthy, you have to desire it, believe you can achieve it, and practice habits that make you healthy!
If you want to be wealthy, you have to desire it, believe you can achieve it, and practice habits that make you wealthy!
Being realistic is assessing a situation for what it is, not for what it would be if it was worse. But that’s what a lot of people do. They approach a situation and treat it as it’s the end of the world every-time. I mean optimists may be delusional at times (I admit it) but at-least it gives them the energy to accomplish more. If you’re a realist (the pessimist kind) how do you motivate yourself to do more?
Being realistic is approaching every situation with eyes open wide. You need to be looking for the opportunity in every situation (it’s always there) and be ready to jump on it.
What does polarity explain to us? It says that if there is a negative, there must be a positive. It’s always easy to spot the negative, and you will, but once you do, embrace it because now you know there is a positive.
This week, look for the positive, the opportunity, the potential and take advantage of it. Become a realist (the optimistic kind).
Remember, we’re in pursuit of Healthiness and Wealthiness, only to Achieve Happiness!

Maintaining a Positive Mood – Spend Your Time With Optimists
Sep 1st
Usually, optimistic people are those people who usually believe that things will be great and are also those people who are always having a more positive mood than pessimists.
Pessimistic people are those people who have lost their hope, who think that things will not turn out well (A pessimist will always tell you: just wait, you’ll see what happens!). this is why these people are always worried, anxious and most of the time angry!
Optimism is usually formed early in life. The are also people who took this attitude from the previous generation.
An optimistic person will always have the faith that everything will be alright and even when it looks like life is conspiring against him, he tends to believe that something good will happen too!
Studies have shown that attitudes are contagious and that if you go out with people who have a positive attitude, you have great chances to have the same attitude.
It also true that if you are hanging out with a group of people who are really pessimistic, you have the chance to become one of them! We can say that it is easier to become a naysayer than to become an optimistic person.
We have to surround ourselves as much as possible with positive thinking people in order to be able to keep our good mood. Staying in a good mood is very important: it is said that people who have a positive attitude have an easier life, solve their problems easier and and have much more success than the other!
