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 suppose it's a suitable compromise, then.

[attorneyatlol]

I suppose so.

You can be quite a formidable negotiator, when stirred to it.

I try my best.

...I'm glad we had this conversation.

I would have preferred to have control of my own words during such a discussion...but I suppose the discussion wouldn't have happened, had that been the case.

Yeah... I think I needed to hear some of those things, anyway. I mean... at least some of the stuff you said at the beginning.

(...You did.)

Indeed. I'll be willing to provide a reminder, if you're ever in need of one.
