Why being Optimistic can be more Realistic than being Pessimistic?

LOL!!! So funny David!! That's exactly the way I learned to ride a bike, even the drop when my father screamed "Don't worry, I'm still holding you!!". Yeahh, surely you are right about cheating ourselves (in general) because it's a question of energy and we can modify our energy doing so. There is a triangle I love: thoughts - feelings - acts. One is the consequence of the others and can modify our perception of life. Love what you say as well "Easy to say it, I must admit, but possible, I can assure". I can assure it also. I know Emilio Duró and he is so so great, and he says such a brunch of truths in such a funny way. I'm listening the conference in the link you have given below and it's simply fantastic!! "La mala suerte se pega", "Bad luck is contagious", so ironic... 😂 Thanks so much for bringing Duró to me again!! You made my day! 💫 Antworten

Are we sure that to fake attitude or cheat ourselves has no point at all? It can well happen that we could fall in a point of life that the only option is to cheat ourselves, as everything we believed on, every assumption, every value, all we knew until this moment, is only worthy to sink us even more. So to get rid of our own fears and failures, sometimes it is needed to "cheat ourselves", like in the neuro-linguistic programming, and try to convince ourselves that we can go forward, even if we failed ever since we tried. To start from scratch is not easy. When i think about it, i remember the first time my father taught me to ride a bicycle without spare wheels (ruedecillas) He dismantled them, and said "keep on pedaling, i am holding your seat so you are sure" Beating my fears, I kept pedaling all along the promenade, believing my father was all the time holding me. But he only did it the first meters. The rest of the time I was on my own. Funny enough, when I realized it, I felt again. This taught me a great lesson. It is better to cheat yourself to beat your fears, rather than being cheated by another. You could take it as well as bravery. In my opinion, there are not missing pieces. Everything is there. Just "Temet Nosce". Know yourself is the answer, and take the correct choices accordingly. Easy to say it, I must admit, but possible, I can assure. BTW, if you liked Victor Kuppers, I am sure you have heard about Emilio Duró. If not, enjoy it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsgoU_oobZM It changed my life. Antworten

Absolutely ! The important part of it is "recognizing" as you say, be aware of what we feel and how we react. And try to do it with the less judgement as possible, just be conscious and choose. But it takes training, the best thing is that we can exercise just going out to the street, or at home with the family or even if we live on our own. We have tests every now and then... ✨ Antworten

Great slideshare David Navarro L\u00f3pez. As Victor Kuppers says in that wonderful lecture, attitude multiplies. But genuine attitude, I mean there's no way to fake attitude because we can not cheat ourselves, there's no point. So, where and what is the missing piece?? 😉 Antworten

Completamente de acuerdo Mamen Delgado . To live in heaven or in hell is only a matter of choice. See more at : http://es.slideshare.net/bicefablog/heaven-or-hell-a-matter-of-choice Antworten

Wonderful article David Navarro L\u00f3pez on this topic and I think it's a trend that each of us has to one side or another. Somehow our brain secretes a substance that makes some people always see the positive side of things. I have two daughters and one of them has a tendency to see the negative side, she is twelve years old and I work a lot with her, telling her that you can CHOOSE what you think, that thoughts do not just happen, you have power over them. But her tendency is to see the negative things. Maybe she can change her attitude for a while but if she gets caught with low defense, she will go back again with her tendency. That's how I see it... Lovely pic by the way! Antworten

@Fatima Williams , thank you for your kind words. To get over the own fears is a self enhancement exercise which needs a lot of bravery. For many who never tried before, it might seem an impossible task to achieve. But is easier as it seems, once you started. Nobody said one needs to do it perfect the first time. Important is to keep on going. Children need sometime to learn walking, but eventually they will be able to run. It is an obvious true that if you get up one more time than the times you fall, you will be standing up. The final price worth the trouble. The price is self respect. Antworten

Great story to get the message across David Navarro L\u00f3pez . Most humans tend to have fear of things that have never happened and are very unlikely to happen and even to try to make something happen. They tend to shy away from exploring the ocean of opportunities in front of them. This will make a great story to connect with Coaching individuals who tend to have the fear exploring themselves and going beyond. Enjoyed the read Thank you Antworten

@Deb Helfrich I am happy you liked it. Some more points about it: Are we born optimistic or pessimistic by nature? Or is it something we learned? Can we Change this? You can find much more of it here: http://es.slideshare.net/bicefablog/not-in-the-mood The German version had almost 17.000 readings. Considering your profile and your points of interest, I am sure you will like it too. Enjoy! Antworten
