And that’s really the key, isn’t it? That’s what I’m finding out. No matter how far I think I have to go, I’ve still come an incredibly long way and I should take pride in that. Sometimes we can be a little too hard on ourselves, I guess. That said, 2010 is my year of optimism.

Thanks for stopping by, Ian. For the last week or so, this has been my primary goal. Meeting and interacting with optimistic people as a means of balancing my excessive interaction with pessimistic people. I have nothing but good things to say about those “How?” asking people. The one’s I’ve been lucky enough to meet can get you motivated, passionate, inspired to do anything you want to do, even if it had seemed impossible.

Thanks for linking it in your Carousel!

You don't have to worry. The shocks were non-life threatening, just uncomfortable enough to make the dogs want to move. They went on to perform the same sort of experiment using people.

It's quite therapeutic realizing your heroes have been there, done that and come through it better than ever. I've had a three-phased start at this attitude change. First was realizing I had the wrong attitude to begin with, then came realizing that I'm not the only person to have the wrong attitude and now, third, realizing that things can change because they've changed for those before me.

The wisdom of older folks provides more than enough inspiration for cutting through the nonsense, patching up faults and moving forward.

I’m really aiming to get this “spirit” ingrained in me in 2010. It’s something I lacked in previous years simply because I didn’t know there was an option. 2010 thus far has proven itself to be the beginning of quite the transition.

I really like this post. Staying positive can be an arduous task sometimes but it definitely helps me to focus on the good things I have achieved as opposed to what I still have yet to accomplish. .-= Nick´s last blog ..10 Financial Mistakes =-.

Surrounding yourself with optimistic people is a surefire way to achieve success yourself.

I know when I hang out with my hungriest, most motivated friend, he finds ways to inspire me that nobody else can. Instead of asking me questions that start with "Why?" he asks me questions that begin with "How?" Big difference.

Look at all the successful people you know online too. They all have an unbreakable belief system. They know without a shadow of a doubt that they WILL be successful. If you know the end game and fully believe you can get there - you will.

Loved this article, and this site. Thanks for sharing.
