Hard working optimists

It’s tiring to be mindful all the time.

It’s exhausting to be conscious of your thoughts 24/7.

I think most people would like to be optimists but when you’re trying to marshal and change over 90,000 thoughts a day it can be fatiguing.

Easier to simply revert back to the default setting.

The conditioning of caution and ‘lets be realistic here’.

Then, even when you successfully become an optimist, you need to prune your mental garden daily.

Successfully keeping out the weeds requires CONSTANT VIGILANCE!

Being positive can be hard work.
