Journal 49: What I Am Proud Of

In my life one trait has gotten me past a lot of rough times. The trait is optimism and forgiveness. I am a very optimistic person and I also forgive people easily but know to keep my distance. There are always things in life that go wrong when you least expect it to. The only thing that you can do then is to think to the future forget the pain of the even but remember the lesson. Optimism along with my willingness to forgive allows to move on and laugh it off. Holding grudges and having a gloomy mood all the time is good for no one. People around you can feel it and they tend to leave you along even though you want company. You only get more miserable as you stay gloomy and refuse to let go. I consider myself lucky to have these traits and I try to help others who are lacking these traits. I try to feel happy all the time because it help my performance in all different fields and when i get angry things aren't pretty. That is the one trait I hate the most. I hate it when I loose control and get angry. When I do I feel that I loos control of what my mind and body does. This is another reason why I learned to control myself and let my optimism dominate.
