So Many things could have happened, but what's happening now is the best.
- Dad

It could have happened. You could have done this, you could have done that. You could have been here, you could have been there, but what's happening now is the best. That's why it's happening. As the old saying goes, "Everything happens for the best." Even if you're facing the worst situation you've ever encountered, it happens for good. You either win, or learn.

Moving on with probably one of the most practical sayings.
"It is what it is," but it is also what you make of it. This, folks, is the difference between an optimist and a realist. Realists see the world as it is, however, optimists show that it is our minds that make anything out of everything. If we see something as 'good' or 'bad' it is because our mind is convincing us that it is so.

It is thought that optimistic people are always happy and that they just ignore problems and reality. However, that is not the true essence of optimism.

Optimism, as described by dictionary.com, "a disposition or tendency to look on the more favorable side of events or conditions."

Why do optimists look at the bright side of things? Because there is almost always a better view there. They choose to think of an event/ happening as something positive, meaning that they learn from it. They choose not to worry about things and lose sleep over them. They tend to find out solutions to problems rather than fretting or complaining.

It is quite a common misconception that optimistic people are out of touch with reality. Optimism, however, is not ignoring problems, it is that they learn to accept it.

The power of our mind.

It is no secret that our brain is incredibly powerful. You are what you believe in. As said previously, what we think directly influences what we can and cannot do. Our body is capable of almost anything, but it cannot do anything until the brain believes it can. This is why people who think positively and work hard are successful; because they believe that they are. We can achieve anything, it is only our mind that limits our abilities.

That's your best friend and your worst enemy - your own brain. (Fred Durst)

So yeah, think positively, smile and believe in yourself.
