Ten Positively Positive Optimism Quotes from Dr. Russ Buss

1. Achieving our maximum mental and physical state-of-fitness requires developing our God given abilities as far as we can take them with our best efforts.
2. Pure mental endurance increases as we build and practice our optimism stamina skills every moment of every day.
3. The glycemic index is a rating that informs of us about how fast and how high any given food raises our blood sugar.  Ideas that raise optimism too fast and too high may leave us mentally drained in any given moment, and even more vulnerable to pessimism.
4. It only takes a few extra moments in time to share your optimism with another and make their day, but it takes less than a moment to share a pessimistic perspective or action that spreads a sense of gloom and doom.
5. Given someone else a moment of optimism with a kind word, smile, a few moments of your undivided attention and you have the potential to make their day and you unforgettable.
6. Spread pessimism in a moment of irritable expression, rejection or a lack of attention and you will quickly be forgotten, perhaps forever.
7. Attitude is everything.  Think about how your attitude and behavior towards others might change if you thought: “I could be seeing this person for eternity in God’s universe.”
8. Self-worth comes from within and not without.  The less we are dependent on worldly things and relationships to bolster our self worth the more we control it and the more of it we have!!!
9. The greatest optimism comes from taking on and overcoming the greatest challenges.  But, if you don’t practice moment-to-moment optimism with your daily  pet peeves, you will never have the strength to climb to the top of Mt. Optimism.
10. Self-worth has no mass.  Self-worth is pure energy driven by effort over which we have total control.
