How to Be an Optimist

For those of you who know me (and I mean really know me) you know that I am a pretty optimistic person. However, when you're an optimist, you're not always happy. Being happy is a process, and I am here to share this process with you.

How to be an optimist in 3 easy steps:

1. Acknowledge the bleak, the stupid, the hard, and the irrational.

You can't have dark without light, and you can't have light without dark. When you acknowledge that your life (life in general) isn't perfect, you are one step closer to becoming an optimist!

2. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

You know how when say a word over and over and over again, it eventually loses its meaning and starts to become ridiculous? If you haven't, start with your own name. When you can ask yourself the question "Why on earth would anyone ever name their child that?" You've completed the task. It's the same thing here. When you think about life's lemons, you start to realize how silly your face looks if you eat them.

3. Laugh about it.

Don't take life so seriously! There is someone in this world who is far happier with less than what you have. The sooner that you realize this and start to laugh at the ridiculous situations you find yourself in, the sooner you will be happy.

That's all there is to it! When you become an optimist, you find that it's so much easier to deal with even the hardest situations. This being said, I beg you to take everything I say with a grain of salt. On this blog, I will make fun of people's behavior, actions, and give you a sneak peak of what it's like to be in my head and see through my eyes. And oh, what a marvelous view I have from in here.

And until my next post... Watch this, and enjoy it. It's freaking awesome.
