Optimism Can Oppose Your Success!

[@Morale_Booster]

Was just journaling about this yesterday. Except I used the word hope. I lived most of my life with blind hope, for a better future, but it blocked me from living in reality, in the present, and therefore blocked me from making any successful changes to my life that would lead me to that ideal future i clung so tightly to. It felt amazing this year to finally let go of hope and live presently, with a very healthy dose of newfound pessimism

You should also make a video about how humor can be harmful. Whenever I scroll the reels, there are so many videos that are basically expressions of what people are hiding that is causing them suffering, everyone feels seen and has a laugh, and says "wow I thought I was the only one" but then people just continue the same behaviour with the relief of "if everyone does it its normal" or make jokes with themselves like "haha its so funny how other people misunderstand me due to my autism". The videos teach you how to present it in a funny way and not take yourself seriously. So much energy is coming up when you see a struggle represented for the first time and all of this energy is straight released by humor, instead of willingness to change, to be angry at the causes of it etc.

Beautiful. Thank you. I have often been accused of being pessimistic. I always counter by saying that I'm a realist. Acknowledging the downside of any situation, and planning for it allows for a greater likelihood of success. There is no need to fear the dark in a situation, make friends. The dark too, has its own wisdom to offer.

Optimism which comes from resistance is just another form of resistence Teal tribe

[@turquoisetoile-universalethics]

Teal. You and I are way ahead of the mainstream psychology! It is definitely true that if you ignore the negative you do fail.

[@Y.Davidsn]

Being mainstream 'positive,' hardens you beatiful and sensitive heart. You loose meekness and humbleness. Just positivism, is a dangerous road, guiding you astray from the real, deepest level of the soul in this fysical existence. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

Back to life 🎶 back to reality

[@Cin_tai]

This video is so good. My consciousness has fragmented to the degree that there's an aspect of me lovingly pulling me through life. Happiness feels like pain to me but all I've experienced is pain. I have to face my shadow to make basic everyday decisions. It's like on the road to healing I eat pain to stay satiated. A pretty picture just doesn't do it anymore.

[@shawnrossi6364]

Just so happens while I was at work yesterday I made the comment during a meeting that I see an issue with some workers at are too optimistic and they think that just staying positive about the situation is going to fix it instead of taking the problem in and actually finding a good solution. The synchronicity doesn't even surprise me it's too common now

[@taefae2850]

Balance... everything should be about balance. See and acknowledge the negative so that you can respond appropriately, in a timely manner.

[@franv976]

Always appreciate and love the way you communicate Teal. Giving those examples helps out understand more in depth your teachings and messages❤

[@Dobermanmomma]

Ha so true. When i was going through college i thought everything was going to be different after graduation but nothing was different in reality beyond having a thick piece of paper. But wow was the dream keeping me going at that time.

[@annikabirgittanordlander6887]

What are the consequences of being conscious and aware? What are the consequences of embracing, embodying that which is conscious and aware (non-physical Consciousness/Awareness)? What are the consequences of suppressing that which is conscious and aware (non-physical Consciousness/Awareness)? What are the consequences of exploring ”unconsciousness” (suppressed non-physical Consciousness/Awareness)? There are consequences for all we do. Thank you Teal 🌍😘

[@danielamondschein]

Thank you!

[@Hammer1987]

Optimism is like aggression. It is only a positive trait when you are able to turn it off when it is not needed.

Building healthy and prosperous relationships. Knowing who's actually there for you and each other rather than just the bang and the buck. 💥💵

[@kinethecoach]

The welcomed wakeupcall and awareness bitchslap I needed. Already had started thr prosess, thanks for more clarity all though it is saddening.

[@englishcoach7772]

Sergeys story is not about optimism, it is more common than that. Refusal to accept error failure or bad decisions.

[@julianhugen8760]

I was so interested when I read (wrong) "optimization".

[@au9parsec]

The only reason why too much optimism equals failure, is because too much optimism can make you have goals or expectations that are unrealistic.

[@annikabirgittanordlander6887]

What are the consequences of expressing suppressed non-physical Consciousness/Awareness (what some label as shadows, unconsciousness, subconscious creations, negative creations)? What are the consequences of expressing embraced, embodied non-physical Consciousness/Awareness (what some label as positive creations)? There will always be consequences for everything we do. Thank you Teal 🌎😘

[@EtherealMaryJane]

No failure will be tolerared under my watchfull eye and my steady hand

[@S.G.W.Verbeek]

😆

[@Mr.Honest247]

You weren’t watchful when you typed “watchfull” instead. You had one sentence to type out.

[@Rainbow2dcore]

So I'm not crazy 💔😢 ty this video is helping me breath 💙

[@ace-zq8pm]

Yeah Teal is right !!! I was too overconfident & couldn't complete my Lilith ritual.

[@khatack]

Optimism is ALWAYS bad. You don't need optimism, you need DETERMINATION. Optimism will fail you 100% of the time.

[@RichHandsome]

Bruh this is a never ending journey..sigh 😣

[@doomsdaycrochet4873]

It really is! 😅

[@sitrueis4007]

more like cake with one little slice of happiness and rest is just pain and something between. This time it will be better, for sure. /cope

[@ConciousCinema]

Fall in love with the journey and you will bless every step in it

[@marcialtorres8469]

Never ending my ass! I need to rest am not a machine and neither are you

[@marcialtorres8469]

@@ConciousCinema 😂 you lost your mind if you think people in the world want to work mindless jobs and then die, don’t you see “THEY” are dangling a carrot in front of you so you keep going and going

[@danielamondschein]

Funny synch, I was arguing against optimism today 😅

[@noone-op6yg]

...what to do with a (un)successful self-actualizing pessimist hesitating to drink the water of self-love in fear of the chaos about to unfold... ???

[@stardotter785]

Too much antagonism can equal poopoo

[@GiorgioHouse]

The problem is that "Failure" is not an objective concept. It's Subjective and mostly tied to Social Constructs! 🤔🤔

[@Angelaleeahava]

Not quite. If you set a goal to lift 200 pounds but you fail to lift it then that attempt is a fail. Not that you are a failure in life but that you failed that particular task/goal.

[@vedkapur1]

so simply dont be an optimist be realist or better opti-realist. Delulu is not always the solulu it seems lol

[@danielamondschein]

Nice neologism! Solulu!

[@franv976]

Lol

[@Embodied.bliss.somatics]

I think we need to be discerning on when to be a realist and when to be in the delulu selulu 😂

[@XonGrid]

Is hoping to sleep with you too optimistic, Teal?

[@davycrockett8886]

So "realistic" optimism is good when facing difficult negative things? Maybe this idea should be tied in with unrealistic positive expectations. Too many people expect too much?

[@festosanjo1442]

This message is controversial! I think we both at times have to lie in both ends of the spectrum. It's all about finding balance.

[@davidalbro2009]

I wonder what Abraham would say about this. I wonder if the bagel story Teal told was realistic. If those were the circumstances I wonder if the main character was truly optimistic.

[@Ouranos369]

Thanks Teal I've been on the pendulum swing from optimism to pessimism. Just another aspect to find the middle way in. 🪻
