Hello, my friend. Welcome to a fresh new episode of New Mindset Who Dis. As always, thank you so much for listening. Thank you for supporting me. And today, another mindset to help you be more hopeful. This really is my purpose. And I think a great thing with a topic like hope is that there are so many lenses that you could put on, like your proverbial glasses to see life in a different way, a more hopeful way, a more optimistic way. And today I want

to share a lens that I use amidst all of the ups and downs and downs and downs and ups and

downs of my life to help me be more optimistic. And it goes like this. I think it's the most

optimistic mindset. To say something to the extent of, I'm going to die someday. And that's not like,

that's not the whole like memento morey, navy seal, hardo phrase to like tell yourself and then

get up and go out there and do it and live life it has that

element of course but this is more of a measure of the realization that time is finite and because of

that some things matter and some things don't some things matter some things don't prioritization

prioritization is the most optimistic lens you can have in the world. When you understand and you really grasp the fact that your time is finite, traffic, a traffic jam suddenly doesn't feel like the end of the world, rejection doesn't feel like the end of the world, a setback doesn't feel like the end of the world. A setback doesn't feel like the end of the world. I think optimism, as we review it here,

again, it's not ever, ever pretending that everything is sunshine. It's realizing that nothing,

not even the heartbreak, not even the failure, not even the embarrassment,

nothing will matter as much as you think it will in the long run.

And I'll back that up in just a minute with some research, but zoomed out, once you internalize

this truth, optimism, hope is less about trying to be more positive and all it is is

prioritization, choosing to focus on what matters while you're

still alive right because you're going to die someday so what is worth your energy and what is not

optimism optimism is perspective it's not rose color glasses it's it's the opposite if anything
