Life Safey Vests

I'm a Pollyanna. My husband can't believe I've survived for so many years. How have I made it to middle age with my cock-eyed optimism intact?
If I think about it, I have been ripped off from time to time. But each time, I've managed to shrug it off and carry on. So looking back, I realise my whole life history has been colored by my attitude. As an optimist, the good experiences in my past are always uppermost in my mind, not the bad ones.
Whereas the story is different for someone who has had a sad life, which has made them cynical. Faced with a problem, that person will focus on the worst outcome, while I'll hope for the best. When a person spends all their time fearing the worst, it may prevent them finding a solution. Because I'm focussed on a good outcome, I'm more likely to find ways to reach that goal.
Of course, that can mean I'm unprepared if the worst does happen! However, thanks to my attitude, that's less likely to be the case.
So, attitude not only determines how you experience life, it also determines your actions, and therefore can affect the course of your life. But is attitude genetic, or set in our childhood - or can we change it? Can someone who is naturally'glass half empty' change their natural bent? I think they can. One's attitude to life is tied up with one's sense of self. I think my dance training has improved my self-esteem and therefore my attitude to life. I see it often in belly dance class - it's wonderful to watch shy, hesitant women blossom into confident dancers, and with that confidence comes a new outlook on life!
