Do you consider yourself an optimist or a pessimist? Well, if you think about negative experiences in terms of ‘always’ and ‘never’ and feel that they are caused by your poor characteristics and traits which are set in stone, then you have a pessimistic style. If you think in terms of ‘sometimes’ and ‘lately’ and blame bad events on temporary causes, you have an optimistic style. When things go wrong, it is your attitude which is more important than the event itself. If you find that you match the pessimistic, negative attitude trait, don’t lose hope. You can easily train yourself to change your thoughts. View every setback as temporary rather than insurmountable and everlasting. Remember, although you can’t control what happens to you, you have the power to rise again after you fall!
