Pessimistic people don’t build businesses.
Their attitude is
those businesses
(and everything else
they do)
will fail
so why bother
trying to succeed?
If success interests you,
it is important to cling to
and to nurture our optimism.
One of the ways I do this
is to limit
my consumption of news.
As Carmine Gallo
shares
“I worked as a television anchor
for 15 years.
“Good news” wasn’t on
my daily news agenda.
People want to see bad news
and that’s what
the media feeds them.
There’s a famous study titled,
Bad is Stronger Than Good.
The research demonstrates how
we, as humans, are hardwired
to look for the negative
because it benefited us
from an evolutionary perspective.
Today, constantly searching
for the negative
can be quite damaging
to our mental health
and
to our long-term success.”
Protect your optimism.
Limit your consumption
of the news.
