Choose to be optimistic

Choose to be optimistic

Of course not so easy when you are stuck in darkness or just been hit by fate. So for me that does not mean that one need to be positive all the time. Sadness or fear serve a purpose. However, we are not meant to remain stuck in such a state forever. This is when it becomes helpful to find out what your options are. And most of the times there is more than one option.

When someone tells me that I only have two alternatives to choose from (or that something is “without alternatives”), I get suspicious. This is rarely the case. Once I realize my options, the Dalai Lame (or Bruce Lee) come into play.

“Choose the positive. You have choice, you are master of your attitude, choose the positive, the constructive. Optimism is a faith that leads to success.”

Bruce Lee

Be like water

Be like water

“Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. 

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” (Bruce Lee)
