every single day of your life you get to
choose what you focus on
do you focus on the negative aspects of
your life or
do you focus on the positive aspects in
your life in this video i'm going to
discuss the benefits
of being optimistic versus pessimistic
[Music]
welcome back to the channel everybody my
name's artie and this
is the moving average the week has come
to an end so you guys know what time it
is
let's get into focus fridays if you guys
are unfamiliar with the show
every friday i like to do a little bit
of motivation
and inspiration for you guys to keep you
on the right track
and keep your mindset right so
throughout my entire life
i've come across numerous pessimists and
numerous optimists
i am a lifelong optimist my father
however is a lifelong pessimist
the most common response i get from him
every time i say something
is yeah but and always with that butt
comes something so catastrophically
negative
it's it blows my mind a lot of
pessimists
like to live under the umbrella of oh
i'm a realist
because a realist sees things how they
are and they accept those things
that everything is messed up and shitty
i get that
life has its hiccups you guys have seen
it in
my why video life will constantly try to
beat you down
but you get to decide what you focus on
do you focus on
all of those bad things that happen to
you throughout your life
or do you take advantage of your brain
and actually focus on the things that
you want the things that you
love the things that make your face do
this
those are the things that you need to
focus on to have a full and happy and
successful
life thinking pessimistically about
everything across the board focusing on
all the negative things
is going to do nothing but mess with
your headspace and make you
constantly look for those negative
things if however
you are optimistic you are constantly
looking for the positives in life
that the sun is shining that the weather
is nice
that you have a roof over your head all
of the basic
things in life that we take for granted
every single day
are the things that you should be
extremely grateful for wake up every
morning and be grateful
while you're driving to work express
your gratitude i'm grateful that i'm
alive i'm grateful that i have
both of my eyeballs and i can see birds
flying in the sky and
leaves blowing in the wind these tiny
little things if you are grateful for
them
every single day it will echo throughout
your life
all of those things that you focus on
start
to amplify the more you think about them
what is your obsession
what is your passion i love
mountain bikes i mean i love mountain
bikes
anytime that i can wake up early on the
weekends before my family
and actually just go on a two-hour bike
ride i take
advantage of that thing because that
thing makes my face
do this when i first found day trading i
saw this mathematical puzzle
and my brain was just excited about it i
spent every single day
eight to ten hours a day learning every
single thing i could
about technical analysis it was a hobby
that could make me money biking is a
hobby that keeps me happy and fit
editing videos
is a hobby that helps stimulate my
creative mind
you should have three hobbies in your
life one that gets you money
one that keeps you fit and the other one
that spikes your creativity if you focus
on those three things and those three
things make you
happy that will constantly propel a
sensation of motivation and happiness
and ambition throughout your life and
over time
everything i mean everything will get
better
you'll be healthier you'll feel better
you'll sleep better you'll have more
money
all of these things start to compound in
your life
if only you focus on the positive all of
those pessimistic people in your life
try as hard as you can to slowly wean
them out of your life
if not cut them off completely for me it
was extremely difficult because my
dad was my biggest influence in my life
and i had to spend every day with him
so to fight that pessimistic tendency
i really had to cut away and i did that
by going outdoors
all the time remember you guys get to
choose
what you focus on your focus determines
the direction of your life are you going
to be optimistic
or are you going to be pessimistic if
you're struggling with this one thing
what i need you to do is set an alarm in
your phone
every day at the same time you stop for
10 minutes
and you write down a list of things that
you're grateful for
that one habit doing it every single day
will help you get the momentum that you
need
to get out of the pessimistic mindset
and to start feeling grateful
and show gratitude towards those things
that you do have
it all starts with baby steps people
every single
change in your life starts with a baby
step if i were to like
kind of nudge my feet in the direction
of another country eventually i would
get there
but the small steps is what it takes to
get you there
you just need to commit to the amount of
time that it's going to take
no you right now you will get there
you just need to start today and focus
on it i know there's at least one
pessimistic person
watching this video and it's at no fault
of your own it's a learned behavior
through the people around you
now it's your decision take the time
take the steps
to get out of that mindset i really hope
this video
spoke to you the pessimist and you
start to change if you guys are new to
the show and you want to see
