Mindset of Hope and Positivity

Because He lives we can face tomorrow! Optimism is an attitude that makes difference between hopeful and unhopeful person. Optimism is a mindset, it is a mental feeling of positivity and belief, that makes life smooth and keep roadblocks at bay! Optimism is an anchor or may be an inherent buoyant force that keeps life-boat afloat, even when it is flooded!

What is optimism?

According to psychology, positive belief and thoughts that, outcome of any event or experience will bring good results, is optimism.

“Whatever happens is for good”, “Blessing in disguise”, “He might have thought something for me”, “He, who has put me in grief, will pull me out”, kind of thinking and belief, is optimism.

Believe in positive “Karma” and “ Good deeds” and leave the results to Him is optimism! As in “Bhagvad Gita” Lord Krishna quotes :

“Karmanye Vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana |

Ma Karmaphalahetu Bhrurma Te Sango Setvakarmanye ||

You should work positively without worrying about results or “fruit of work” in return.

Positive outcome anyways you will receive from Him, if you work towards it with good intentions!

Who are Hopefuls or Optimists?

Hopeful or “Optimist” see the possibility of change in every difficult scenarios and most of the time alter harsh conditions, by their positivity.

People with such attitude and thinking are called “ Optimists”. They have the capacity to be the winner in any harsh conditions, sooner than their counterparts.

Happiness and being hopeful is the only “Mantra” to lead a positive life!

Hope is a positive emotion or feeling that envision future, with positive outcomes, in hard times. Sometimes there is fear, sadness and darkness too, though “ray of hope” will bring you out, back in bright light.

Would also like to mention that, over optimism is detrimental too. People underestimate and ignore risk sometimes. So, there should be balanced level of optimism. Working towards making a situation positive, is also equally important.

Who are Unhopeful or “Pessimists” ?

Unhopeful or “Pessimists” see difficulty and failure in all scenarios or sometimes make every opportunity turned down, due to overthinking and negativity of attitude.

Pessimists only see worst side of the situation, with less hope for the future. Sometimes they are also considered, “realists”.

Notable point is that, pessimists are also smart people, who are well prepared to face risks and harsh conditions. They are always prepared for unseen. Sometimes seen as intellectually captivating person who are well prepared with solutions for bad times and we need such problem solvers too.

They always think in, “if not, then what” or “what if” style. This attitude is equally important.

How to change negative attitude and make life simple?

Flip your style of thinking. Take matters positively and try to see good points around a condition.

As could be easily understood with famous Urdu couplets of Mirza Ghalib poetry:

Hum ko maloom hai jannat ki haquequat lekin,

Dil ko khush rakhne ko Ghalib, ye khayal accha hai.

We all know the truth of this heavenly world of Supreme, though,

just to please heart, have good thoughts, feelings and emotions for time being.

Enjoy in present and think solutions for negative scenarios in advance! Think positive! Keep negativity out of radar and negative people out from your social circle to keep off, bad vibes!

One life to live : Decision is yours!

There is just one life to live; live it to the fullest (optimism 🙂

The life with a limited time and a expiry date too (pessimism:(

Decision is yours, to lead a bright, cheerful, positive life, full of hope and share happiness!
