The Awakened Source Laura King reviews & PDF free download. I like to think of myself as being a realistic optimist. I’m all for looking at the bright side of things, but not before assessing a situation and seeing it for what it really is. I often feel that people mistake my realistic approach for negativity. Because I’m able to see situations for what they are, I feel like I’m better able to determine a course of action. Being able to understand the full scope of a situation is what has saved me time and time again.
Being a realistic optimist is a bit weird because reality can be stressful. Sometimes reality makes it tough to be optimistic. On the other hand, that same penchant for reality is what gives me the power to push my way through the stress. When it becomes too stressful, I find myself having to dig a bit deeper to find that silver lining. I went through a very stressful period at work recently, full of doubt and uncertainty. My friends and family reassured me that everything would be fine, but I knew better. I knew that the only way to lower my stress levels was to rid myself of the environment altogether.
