“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity;
an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”
~ Winston Churchill
now... hmm... which would apply to me?
Thinking about life in general... about everyday obstacles/opportunities that arise... I wonder if anyone actually sits down and contemplates the outcome of any given situation. Although I am very optimistic, I have been known to have pessimistic tendencies at times. And much of it results from being hurt by something or someone in my past. To clarify... not physically hurt (for me), but emotionally, spiritually, mentally.... hurt, denied, or rejected. Those can result in feelings of pessimism. At least from my experience.
I tend to maybe say words that I am thinking, but probably should just keep to myself. Happens often. Not sure if it's genetic or not, but I am strong-willed.
Oh... and found out that I need to wear my glasses more. JOY. Now for my pessimistic statement... "Now I'll be getting more headaches because the pressure on the bridge of my nose... not sure if the glasses will be worth it." :)
