Nov 8, 2015 Great example! I mean this guy can't even walk around in target ... our lives aint so bad
Nov 8, 2015 lol i know its stupid but even Eminem kinda proves my theory. During Infinite he was all optimistic and s--- and nobody cared about him. By the time of SSEP he was writing like Rock Bottom and If i had and despite being pesimistic blew up
Nov 8, 2015 It's not black and white at all infants are hopeless and useless anything can happen to them good or bad Someone who's really negative will obviously have negative and pessimistic thoughts which will restrict opportunities for them. And it's the opposite for someone positive Like "I'm ugly why bother trying to get with girls" vs "whatever looks aren't everything" who do you think will have a better chance with girls? The one who's too scared to even try or the one who doesn't care? Or an aspiring rapper being like "It's impossible to get in the industry it's just a pipe dream" vs a positive one who keeps trying because it's fun for him anyway and going to local amateur events and whatnot. The positive guy may well never become a rapper, but his chances are far greater than the other guy Or a business owner upset about the economy blaming consumer confidence not trying new marketing strategies because he "knows" they won't work and it's useless. Complains that he can't find good staff. Interviews people with expectation it won't go well. Is never in the mood to try new things etc. VS someone who's the complete opposite of that who's always open and looking forward to new strategies is friendly and great with staff etc. The positive man's business has a much better chance at growing and thriving Good and bad things can happen to anyone at any time but it doesn't change the fact that being positives opens you up to more chances and opportunities than if you're always upset and negative and shut down
Nov 8, 2015 Infinite wasn't that optimistic. During the writing process he was suicidal. I don't get the "hoping for the best" vibe from the album, I got the "wishful thinking" vibe from the album.
Nov 8, 2015 great post. I think that good attitude helps you achieve your full potential but cant let you be more than you are made to be, whereas bad attitude hinders you
Nov 8, 2015 Only thing about being overly optimistic, and Chad knows that he sounds like a downer, is that you waste your life doing it. Yeah, you'll say it was doing something you loved, but you could have put a similar effort elsewhere and actually gotten paid for it.
Nov 8, 2015 I think Infinite was like this (its fire) ..and, he's sitting there, his life is s---, he has no money, can't support his child, but he's still thinking "everything will be ok lol" when the odds were heavily against that.
Nov 8, 2015 yeah exactly and that's how so many people approach it. everything is going to s--- really fast, but imma stay here and pretend everythings alright. maybe you need to feel sad if everything is falling apart
Nov 8, 2015 I try to stay positive all the time and usually things go pretty smooth for me. Either the attitude is working or I've just been really lucky
Nov 8, 2015 Chad was blessed to grow up in the lower middle class. C-Wizzy didn't have a lot but he and his family weren't ever horribly uncomfortable. Things got tight, like having to live in one bedroom basement apartments, however the Warden's never felt in danger of being out on the streets. Chad's happy with how things are. Decent job, decent life. Chad is happy he can say he gets "bored", because being bored means you aren't in any danger. Chads realist approach is neither bad or good, IMO. In the middle.
Nov 8, 2015 I mean if you are negative about everything then there isn't really anything to look forward to in life. Like if you really think that your life is just a tunnel that just leads to emptiness then why even continue to walk down the tunnel? When you start thinking like this, you are just going to start performing at a level below everyone else because you don't believe in yourself. At this point you realize that you are always 2nd place and you cant figure out why. Now if you look the down the tunnel thinking that at the end of it is something grand; everything you can possibly imagine. The results wont be the same, sure you might go down the tunnel and fall over a couple of times but everyone does. Some many not fall as often as you do but that's life. I hang around some n----s that always have some negative s--- to say - bla bla "Look at how this n----- living his life, lucky MFer he had it easy" This the same n----- that used to pick Miami Heat in 2k13 But thats just Jehovah talkin some random s--- bout tunnels
Nov 8, 2015 Mentality plays a major role in my life for me. I do consider myself an optimist but I won't lie for the past few years I've been more cynical than I'd like to be which has hindered my life somewhat.
Nov 8, 2015 I cut off a lot of friends; speak my mind..and tell it like it is..which is why no one really likes me..lol I don't like a lot of BS other people do, one time some one said I ought to keep my thoughts to myself.. I kinda consider myself an a------, well I try to keep it balanced as much as I can though When you start not giving a f--- about people or things that don't matter or affect you in any way..everything works out for the better
Nov 9, 2015 The cockier and more confident I am, the more things go my way. It may make me seem arrogant and like a d-ck but I'm doing much better now than when I was a winey little insecure kid
