Assume the Best

Outlook is everything, and changing our opinion on how we view day to day things has great positives.  Our ability to look at things in a positive manner has great importance on our ability to live a happy life.  If we are constantly complaining about problems in a very negative manner, we are hindering our ability to see improvements.  A good example of this is in social situations.  If you say “hi” to someone and they don’t respond, how do you perceive it?  Did the person not hear you, or does the person not like you? Looking at it in a positive manner rather than a negative one makes the difference.  Make an assumption to look at it in a positive manner.  Changing your outlook takes the blame off you and in effect you will be a more confident person socially, because you won't fear rejection.  As a result, you will become a more happy and social person.
