Not sure hey. Imagine in a scenario where the possibility of death exists (actually, that is life in general I suppose). Stranded on a desert island, for example. You do not need reminding that you could die. The pessimist would kindly be reminding you of this ALL the time. The optimist would be constantly telling you that a ship will appear on the horizon at any time. I'd much rather die with hope...

Some dude I've got a fair bit of respect for once said: "We are the custodians of life’s meaning. We long for a Parent to care for us, to forgive us our errors, to save us from our childish mistakes. But knowledge is preferable to ignorance. Better by far to embrace the hard truth than a reassuring fable."

I can't disagree with that; one lie or uncertainty accepted is one too many. I'd much rather not believe falsehoods. :)

Also, so as to keep within the spirit of this thread, I have this bit of advice for you copa:

First thing copa stop letting people tell you pessimism is good, realistic yes. You need to rewire your entire mind/brain and it is a lengthy journey.

Every time you think something negative you swop it out with a positive thought. I would also have a look at this video everyday or keep it on your phone if possible. I still use it to calm me down or i am a bit agro and start feeling a bit low.

This is one of the most amazing video's i have ever seen in my life for trying to get rid of those negative nasty thoughts. The music amazing and the video is uplifting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8j_Vj779yqE

The secret is not bad but it gets a bit boring, that video however i still use years after seeing it purely because it is something that helped. If you do not feel positive and uplifted when you watch that then you are in trouble :D.

You should also watch as many positive thought video's as possible and see what you can find to help you, watching positive people will help big time. Pessimism is just another a word negative people use to make their negative world seem like it isn't negative. Realistic however can be both negative and positive but you have to find the positive in every situation.

If you are really keen on doing this you must know if it a very difficult and long process and requires months of retraining your brain to automatically look at situations positively. Replace every negative with a positive, no matter what happens find a positive. The most important thing is remembering pessimism is a negative energy and will get you nowhere, realism is fine because you can be both positive and realistic but you cannot be positive and pessimistic.

Find music video's and series that make you laugh and music that uplifts you, when you feel a bit down ask yourself why am i down, what can i do to uplift myself? Once that positive energy is flowing bro life your life will be changed forever. You may still have some flaws like anxiety in certain situations but you will find life is so different and everything seems so much better :D

Go positive energy go :D, you should also try and stay away from certain threads. If you can see they are stressing you out, get out of the conversation.

She has helped me immensely. Her video's cover many things, from love to low self esteem, depression etc but her positive energy is addictive. The positive energy flowing outta that lady is just amazing and there are many channels on youtube that will guide you.

Yeah, OP, I'm looking at you.

My first cognitive reprogramming task is to stop boring the world with my bitching.

If I don't have anything awesome to say, shut the **** up!

Any advice as to how to successfully implement this life-changing paradigm shift in behviour? :D

I'm so proud. Just pay attention and when you catch yourself doing it stop. Don't beat yourself up about it. Like all habits it'll take time to develop. And, sometimes people complain. You're allowed to now and then.
 
Serenity prayer ?
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference...
stopped me from being bitchy many a time.

Very good saying actually but knowing copa's view on religion i doubt he will be keen on using it. He can perhaps cut GOD out and use LIFE instead :D. Not to offend any religious folk of course. Each to their own.

Just cut the noun out completely and it's a great mantra.
