Optimism, Realism, Pessimism

from Unlearning Project

"Success is a balance between optimism and realism where it's unhindered by the weight of pessimism." Which one are you? Is it ingrained in us to determine whether we are pessimists, optimists, or realists, and if so, do we continue to change in order to stay on track? Today, Virginia Elder joins me as we discuss how our minds operate, react, and what occurs when we're confronted with uncontrollable circumstances. In this episode, listen for: Examples of scenarios in which it is necessary to prioritize when problems occur- Optimists Reaslist Mindset (22:16) Optimistic realism enables us to experience the best until confronted with the worst (30:49) Being a pessimist will keep you from attempting. (35:05) When circumstances are beyond our control, we have to quit reacting emotionally. At some point, there's a need to evaluate and have a plan of action. We may think we're stuck in an unpleasant situation, but it's important to recognize that it will work out in the end. www.unlearningproject.org
