“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” Winston Churchill
Optimism.
It can turn a situation that looks negative or bleak into an opportunity or something to learn from.
It can replace the draining thoughts of pessimism with something that will create more positive energy and enthusiasm again.
And it can help you to jump over obstacles, to keep moving when you fall or stumble and to not give up just because you have had a couple of temporary setbacks.
“When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.”’ Helen Keller
“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” Mahatma Gandhi
Living a life where you're happier and kinder towards yourself is not just about what you can do.
But also about what you are already doing. And especially those habits that do have a negative and unhappy impact on your life.
So this week I'd like to share 9 such habits. And what have helped me a whole lot to do instead.
On some days – or sometimes during weeks or even months – life is just hard and tough.
And you may start to think to yourself that you might as well give up on your new habit, current goal or most important dream.
This week’s post is all about that.
And about the timeless wisdom from the past few thousands of years that can help you to stay strong, to nudge yourself back on the right track again and to keep going towards what you deep down want and dream about.
Hi! I’m Henrik Edberg.
