Optimism "InSpite Of"

          Having optimism "InSpite Of" can be very difficult at times.  Optimism is the tendency to expect the best possible outcome for any situation.  To have optimism, you must also have faith, that things will work out for your good.  To have faith, you must believe that God is on your side and wanting the best for you.  You must also want the best for you.

          We humans can become set in our ways when it comes to dealing with certain things.  What we need to do is to allow ourselves the privilege of change.  Change within ourselves allows for change around us, which allows for different outcomes to situations.  Being stuck in the same routine can produce same results.  What is needed is optimism and faith that if we change ourselves, we can change situations, therefore change outcomes.

          While writing this blog, I ran into a problem that seems to have no way out.  My initial reaction was to tell myself that I couldn't continue to write about optimism when I couldn't see a good outcome to this particular problem.  What I did instead, was to tell myself that if I change my way of thinking, something good would come from this.  Optimism is the best thing to have, along with faith in what you are doing and continue on without hesitation, because something will come to mind that will change your situation and change the way you look at things.  So my hope is that you will continue to have optimism "InSpite Of".

         

        

Moving On "InSpite Of"

          What I have discovered is that people of all ages are in need of encouragement and motivation.  Young Professionals need this because as they are starting out, they will come up against many obstacles and stumbling blocks which will frustrate and discourage them.  Older professionals also need encouragement and motivation because they may be starting over again.  With the joblessness increasing and many who have been in jobs for half their lives have to begin again.  The difference with this group is that they have more at stake than those just starting out.  They have built homes and families and hope for the future.  These people also need encouragement and motivation to remain optimistic about their futures.  To this group of people I say, press on “InSpite Of”.

          Take whatever that has been thrown in your path and use it to grow and flourish.  Don’t let loss of a job get in your way.  Take this opportunity to start your own business or partner with someone in their business.  Allow your dreams to come to fruition, and stop procrastinating about realizing your dreams.   Many who have had dreams about what they want out of life have put those dreams on hold, in order to take care of responsibilities.  Pull those dreams off of the shelf, dust them off, and begin to dream again.  Loss of employment doesn’t have to be the end of the world.  It could be the start of something much bigger than you imagined.  Just get started, move forward with momentum and see how far you can go.  Make it happen, “InSpite Of”.
