Ooops! What does pessimism mean again you might be asking yourself now. It means in my summation, as having all the wrong thought-process on everything in life. Every time you look at yourself moving forward, all you see are nothing but hedges along your path. You spend your day(s) wallowing in negative thoughts about your success and your being. At the long run, your health is suffering and not your health alone, your pockets too and your social and moral life as well.
Anyone who comes close to you is a suspect for mocking you. If they smile, it's you they are smiling at and their smiles are nothing but mockery of your position in life. If you sight two persons gisting away, then it's you they are gossiping about. You see darkness everywhere you look at even when you are under the sun. Every little thing irritates you and every noise around you grates your nerves.
Gosh! Your life is in quagmire and you'll end up a nerve-wreck in no distant time. So what must u do to avoid being pessimistic even when nothing seems to be going your way? The answer is simple. Go on your knees. When you get on your knees, say the following short prayer and you'll have peace descend on your shoulders rather than your burdens descending and eating you away:
Oh lord, come into my life and take absolute possesion of my entire being.
I confess that I have been carrying these burdens
all alone and have never welcomed you
into my life as my lord and personal saviour.
Take these burdens especially that of pessimism off my shoulders,
I have become weak and can't continue like this any longer.Ever since I realized you can do me this favour,
I have come in humble supplication for your grace to become optimistic in life.
Remove my heart of pessimism and bless me today and always
with a heart of optimism to the glory of your name,
for in Jesus' name I have prayed. Amen!
Waoh! Myself I'm feeling relieved already. How about you?
