BE POSITIVE OR OPTIMISM?

This is the frequent question we heard or asking people to. Trust me, I heard lot whenever I feel bad or stress up.

Recently, I read an article over LinkedIn and it’s caught my attention when stated a statement ‘Positivity is blind.’ Simon Sinek, a British-American author and inspiration speaker told on the difference between positive and optimistic.

Positivity is blind. Optimism is the undying belief that the future is bright, but it’s not a denial of the current state.

I am truly agreed on this statement though. Some time it is not about being positive or not but we got to accept the situation at the very first place before we could move on to another step. We cannot just telling ourselves that be positive and doing nothing about our emotion and action to make a different afterward. To me, being positive is a false action where we just ignore the current situation and blindly belief thing will getting better without even put effort to change it.

OPTIMISM is a choice as much as it is an ATTITUDE.
