I have to admit I love the book The Art of Possibility. It is a pleasure to read and really makes me reassess the way I look at the world around me and, especially with chapter 6, how I look at myself.
We all get so wrapped up in our lives that sometimes stepping back and "lightening up"just doesn't enter our minds. Yet doing so has offered me a breathe of air; the realization that, yes, I can get through this. Talk about a stress-relief technique!
For the most part I have always considered myself a fairly optimistic person and have sometimes felt that I must be strange to be this way when I run into so much negativity. Yet reading this book has made me re-evaluate that and accept that everyone deserves that "A" and perhaps they just need to learn about Rule #6. For my own part, my optimistic attitude had taken a hit this past month. Many times I think I have taken myself too seriously and lost track of why I started this masters journey in the first place. Remembering Rule #6 goes a long way in making sure I don't forget and has helped get my foot back on that optimistic path once more.
