When Positive Thinking Isn’t Positive
How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn’t make it a leg. ~Abraham Lincoln
Wait. What? Did I just say that— That positive thinking isn’t always positive?
Yes, I said it. Don’t get me wrong…I have always been an optimist because I definitely prefer optimism over pessimism. However, I still stand by my statement that positive thinking isn’t always positive.
So, when is positive thinking not positive? When it is Optimistic Denial.
