By Mauro Libi Crestani. Some years ago I met Manuel, an electrician one day I arranged a wiring problem at home. Talkative, I talked to him about his projects, and he told me he had started his own company, but abandoned the idea after a while, because things had not gone as he had imagined it. So, he said he made a mistake that shattered his dream of being an entrepreneur, and that is why he has since made his living working for others. Regretfully he told me that success was not made for him, and he had forgotten how to be financially independent.
Manuel repeated to me several times that everything went wrong. It always was the same. Every time something good happened to him, for some reason he still felt that his whole life was becoming a disaster, because this too would go wrong and become a failure. I remember inviting Manuel for coffee after repairs and I would emphasize that the problem was not life nor bad luck but his pessimistic thinking. Manuel had learned to see things from a negative approach, which led him to develop an ineffective behavior, which he surrendered to so easily.
I told Manuel that there were many people like him, who would distort reality. To them everything that happened becomes a problem or difficulty ending in catastrophe. I spoke of the importance of optimism to grow and increase the chances of success.
Manuel replied telling me that for years had heard that optimists were beings who denied the reality, wrapped in a bubble that did not allow them to give importance to things not to worry.
That day my friend understood the importance of developing a thought process that allows self-confidence and even though things did not go well, if you work hard you can get opportunities for improvement.
Optimistic people create the ability to face adversity, learn about getting the obstacles, mistakes and do not give up, never give up.
The Optimist facing the problem, minimizes the impact on his life and is dedicated to solving, to seek a solution. Optimists are persistent and keep their actions towards their goals, despite the difficulties they may face, considering them only as temporary setbacks or problems that may perhaps delay the achievement of its objective but not prevent it.
Optimistic people increase their level of achievement and create benefits in their quality of life and in your endeavors. Optimism can be developed internally by changing the negativity positive thinking, raising the self-esteem and spiritual strength, learning to persist in achieving their goals and working hard to achieve them.
After several years, with Manuel’s new understanding and with his reconsidered thinking, his life has changed. Today he owns his own company, has 25 employees working for him. When he comes to my home or office, it is not only to solve the electrical problems but to talk about his exciting new plans and projects. Manuel, today is an optimistic and successful man.
