I never for one second thought it will just fall in my lap. But ... do I belief I deserve ... do I allow myself to receive all the abundance.... do I belief in my own abilities ... am I open to all the opportunities? Nothing happens until I take action, but it starts with the vision, faith and end with action. Be... do... have...

The idea of combining realism with dreams is something I have struggled with my entire young adult life. I think that taking the time to get there is sometimes the hardest part of the road. We are a culture of instantaneous options, and there is nothing more frustrating than an inability to get something we want immediately. (like a dream fulfilled.)

There are times I hear from some people that they think I'm negative but honestly I feel I just put the realistic spin on things and yet I'm still looking forward to a creative/positive outcome of the situation. Life is what keeps me going. I do have hope. I do care about doing what is right not just for myself but others. I have a hard time though with some people in positions of power that tout "I dislike negativity." It is a bit easier to have a positive attitude when you are getting all the perks and bonuses. If you have employees that are unhappy and appearing negative...are you putting out that vibe? Are you truly creating a positive atmosphere at work to encourage more positive realism? We all have to go inward and look at some of the real "stuff" to bring the positive forward. Thank you for sharing. I love the concept of positive realism.

I've been trying to do this for some time. Live in the moment, be a realist, and an optimist all at the same time. It's not the easiest, but I feel great about it! You can't move forward without recognizing what needs to improve, and that requires realism. You can't move forward if you don't believe things will get better, which requires optimism. And who wants to live an unhappy life? Happiness comes with positivity.

Yes! Gone with the naysaying attitude! You made me a believer of positive realism. I think the combination of idealistic dreams with realistic (short term) goals is the answer for any realist who is willing to change his future. .-= Martijn´s last blog ..<a href="http://livingminimal.wordpress.com/2010/05/17/decluttering/" rel="nofollow">Declutter like a pro, not like a zealot!</a> =-.
