I don't seem to use this journal for much more than getting a hold of other people or complaining about viruses anymore, but a conversation got me thinking about what it means to be positive. I know, it's a trite subject, right? 'The power of positive thinking'. It makes me think of a self-help seminar... But to be perfectly honest, I'm not sure I'd ever accomplish anything if I wasn't sure I would accomplish it. I don't know how or why I developed that mindset or if it was even a conscious decision, but I'm grateful that I have. I can't imagine what would have happened if I'd given up on certain goals...

Don't get me wrong. It's not always easy, and nobody can be positive all the time, but I think it beats the alternative in a lot of cases.

I guess this is why some people have me labeled as an optimist.

I did indeed, it has been ... a whirlwind since then to say the least.

I was going to say congratulations are in order then, but maybe not...?

[thelastsolidor.livejournal.com]

O-Oh of course there are congratulations that are due; being Emperor is a great honor.

[attorneyatlol]

It was something dictated by circumstance, then...?

[thelastsolidor.livejournal.com]

The previous Emperor died with honor in battle.

I'm sorry to hear that...

[thelastsolidor.livejournal.com]

War is a terrible thing, is it not?

[attorneyatlol]

It really is...

Is your country at peace now, at least...?

[thelastsolidor.livejournal.com]

We will be.

[attorneyatlol]

Good. I'm really glad to hear that. I hope things settle down for you soon.
