Positive Objectivity

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

The last post may have sounded to some like we wealth creators live in a dreamland where we think all things are good, and we can just think our way to only good things happening in our lives. While that’s close to the truth, it’s not the case; so before we get too many critics offering up their opinions, let’s try to set the issue straight.

Being Objective AND Positive

Just because you reset your default setting to one of positivity and progress does not mean that you are living in a dream-world and just pretending that bad things and unfortunate strokes or set-backs do not happen. Indeed, these are all part of life. Setbacks will happen, as well as unfortunate circumstances that are beyond your control. It’s what you do in the face of adversity that matters.

You can still be positive and objective—one does not preclude the other. It’s true that smart investors, wealth creators, and businesspeople, or even just smart people, carefully weigh the choices at the crossroads of their lives and take an objective view before making solid decisions. But most people do this from the viewpoint of cynicism, and that’s where they go wrong.

Expect The Best

The point is not to invite trouble by always expecting the worst. You should expect positive things to happen and expect that you can make the best out of them. You need to invite in good things, progress, and success by going after it and choosing how you will view situations in life.

Whatever you go out looking for in life is exactly what you can expect to find. So if your default is to find trouble, no doubt you will; if your default is to find positivity and success, you can count on finding that, too. Be objective, but expect good things in life, and your life will be good as a result to be sure.
