I tend to be a "glass half full" person, too. Congratulations on being chosen for POTW...well deserved, my friend.<br /><br />I also like the following quote:<br /><br />"Peace: It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart."Cheryl Kohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04021319020150945676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-66719389336672293572011-01-28T19:46:53.066+01:002011-01-28T19:46:53.066+01:00Congratulations, Zuzana.

I read a book as a teen that influenced me dramatically in this direction called "The Magic of Believing."<br /><br />I've had my share of difficulties but keeping a glass-half-full approach helped me deal with them.Frank Baronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07766219281485749395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-49668437432435934762011-01-28T09:37:03.415+01:002011-01-28T09:37:03.415+01:00How beautifully said dearest Zuzana...thank you so...How beautifully said dearest Zuzana...thank you so much for this reminder...I deeply agree with you and trying my best to stay optimistic and finding the pleasure and beauty on a daily basis in little things in life.Absolutely Ladylikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12275357244605077096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-87867703730352907892011-01-27T18:50:03.766+01:002011-01-27T18:50:03.766+01:00Ines, LadyCat, Brian, Laura, Elizabeth, Jane, Mari...Ines, LadyCat, Brian, Laura, Elizabeth, Jane, Maria, Foxglove, Julie, Betty, The Bach, Sukanya, ladyfi, Hilary, Lulda, Kath, SY, Amelia, Ann, Nezzy, Angela, Kim, Scribe, sprinkles, Mahmood, Richard, Rajesh, SDB, Jill, Sumandebray, Doreen, adrielle, Myriam, Sandy,Lady, Coreen, Donna, Calli, Philip, Nessa, Life with Kaishon, Joanna and Stevie – thank you all for sharing with me your own sentiments when it comes to the way we think and the way our own thoughts can affect the way we live. I am so glad to learn that many of you found something that spoke to you in this post.<br /><br />Optimism, as stated by the lovely quote above, is a catalyst that can spark extraordinary results. Although at times, when tragedy strikes, it is difficult to see the glass being half full - if we only allow ourselves the realization that nothing is perfect and that pain and sorrow will always be present in our lives, this acceptance will help us enjoy all the good and beautiful with renewed spirits.<br /><br />Thank you all for always finding the time to stop by and to read so careful even my longer and at times heavier post.<br /><br />Xoxo<br />ZuzanaZuzanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02137958790178864561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-62387875832079972032011-01-27T05:50:51.552+01:002011-01-27T05:50:51.552+01:00I believe a grateful heart helps me stay positive ...I believe a grateful heart helps me stay positive about life. <br /><br />I've always called myself a realist...I try to tell myself the truth, not sugar coat things....but there is a fine line between realism and becoming cynical. I've had to watch that I don't go in that direction. <br /><br />I think about the psychology of smiling...which comes first? The smile or the feeling of happiness. They say to smile, even when feeling bad or discouraged, makes us feel better and not the other way around. To me this fact is proof that saying and acting in a positive way is the key to a happier life.steviewrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14233066158555762167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-34652684216864231642011-01-27T03:30:17.686+01:002011-01-27T03:30:17.686+01:00This is the perfect reminder that "you get wh...This is the perfect reminder that "you get what you give"...

I feel exactly as you described, especially about what I pick up from others auras, nature, etc. It must be our souls evolution and not everyone comes to the conclusion that, hey, I can control my negativity. I believe negativity is the easiest trap to fall into; the 'victim' role. I also believe, in contrast, that 'positivity' can be the hardest, but once we learn and stay on that mindset, the world opens so <i>completely</i>. <br />Lovely, thoughtful and engaging post, Zuzana...xxooCallihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00354988534434872490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-46904265220428011382011-01-26T18:11:42.079+01:002011-01-26T18:11:42.079+01:00Great post, Zuzana.

She is in her 70's but you would never know it which is one of the things I absolutely love about her. Then you have others half her age who are negative thinkers and their bodies and minds deteriorate at an alarming rate as proof to their negativity. This is a great reminder!

You have made many souls here 'feel good' about themselves,a balancing act that works better with positive thoughts.

I hated my job but yet, I didn't want to get fired. Yet, I wasn't in any hurry to leave because at least I still had a regular paycheck coming in. <br /><br />And now, while I'm still not happy I was let go, I do believe it was for the best. I'm actually much happier these days. My future is much more uncertain but I'm ok with that - for now, at least!<br /><br />Yes, negative individuals can be difficult to be around sometimes.sprinkleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081967372702276914noreply@blogger.com
