Inside every pessimist is a wounded romantic. But youre not fooling anyone. Pessimism is not protection. Pessimism is not realism. Pessimism is not practicality. Pessimism is procrastination. Pessimism is a plan. If you choose failure, failure will oblige. Embrace misery and it will make you its home. Disappointment is an addiction; once hooked you will find it wherever you are. The opposite of pessimism is not optimism - its decision. When you choose to be brave enough to live in the real world, you will slowly discover that there is no bad weather, only the amazing shifting elements, no disaster, only opportunities, no defeat, only motivation, no loss, only freedom, no necessary suffering, only the amazing awakening welcome warning system of pain. Yes, lightning will occasionally strike, comets will hit the earth, death will come, but never destruction. You cannot be destroyed, only changed, and even in this fleeting life you have already seen the truth: that you can survive most things - as you have so far - and the fun is in making the most of them. Do not choose to die in advance. Enjoy the rain, embrace the pain, appreciate every season, every person, every challenge, every twist and turn. Tear down the paper prison of pessimism. Release the romantic and rescue yourself. You have suffered enough. This is about more than hope; the sun is inevitable. True liberation comes when we see that all weather is wonderful. The decision to choose happiness takes courage, but you are a natural activist. Believe in yourself. Stand up for happiness. Be a freedom fighter for life.
