How do you develop a sound outlook of life?

Answer 1

Outlook in Life

• Life is like Ohio's weather. It will always change.
• Never trust good weather; it will always change.
• Someone else will always prefer what you hate.
• You might not like what's going on now, but it could be far worse.
• If you are never thankful for anything, life will give you more that opposes thankfulness.
• Being thankful is not magic; it won't ensure you get anything better.
• Best to live as if in a town of hills-- even though you have to climb the hills, it's fun to roll down them.
• For every problem you encounter, thank God he created something called "solutions".
• Solutions typically only come from you, not to you through someone else.
• Taking charge sometimes means letting go.
• Letting go sometimes means taking charge.
• Life is full of opposites. Choose wisely. Sometimes, though, the choice is between "bad" and "worse". Be wise.
• Never trust people who always agree with you. Find people who aggravate your thinking.
• You can never think your way out of a bad life. But you can imagine your way out.

Answer 2

Developing a sound outlook on life is very important. It changes the way you see things and how you perceive them. Positive thinking is the key to creating a good outlook on life. Instead of focusing on the negatives of a situation, try and find the 'silver lining'...every situation has one, no matter how bad or desolate things get. There is always one good thing about every situation. Focusing in on the positive 95% that makes up every situation is the way to go, instead of dwelling on the minor negative 5%. By thinking positively about yourself, others, the world around you and the situation at hand, you can create for yourself a great, positive outlook on life that will improve your overall attitude and habits on how you see and perceive life.
