Pessimism is an attitude.

Isn't it incredible how much impact our outlook has on life? I ran across this today....
"Pessimism is a disease. Once people get to thinking negatively, it does something to their mental calculations. soon they are adding only the dismal moments of life, multiplying only the despairing minutes, and recording only the dark moments of the soul.

Pessimism is like a polluted stream. Its aroma lingers over every plan, its path crosses every beautiful possibility, and its contribution to life is always in what it withholds.

Pessimism is an attitude. It is the way people look at things, how they react, how they plan their lives. If they listen to the bad side, and react and plan accordingly, their attitude is pessimistic."

Ain't it the truth. Let's look for the good in our day and others...... see Phillipians 4:8.
