It's 2019. Is your outlook positive, negative or neutral?

I'm not talking about the email software. I'm talking about your general attitude to life.

I'm trying to be positive, but I've had the positive attitude in the past, but it didn't result in things getting any better. So at the present I'm feeling sort of neutral. I'm expecting more of the same and to me that is a pretty sad, almost depressing outlook.

Like so many, I will be starting to diet and exercise. But that's just a repeat of past new years. More of the same. Of course, it's better to do it than not do it.

I guess it's about actually taking action, doing something different.

I know I'm not alone on this. I have ideas and things I want to do, but if I'm honest with myself, I probably won't do them. And that's sad as frick.

What's stopping me? Fear of failure? Is it that simple?

I'm thinking the solution is saying frick it to the positive attitude and just start taking positive actions. The positive attitude will come later.

Or is it just finding our peace with God, like Lieutenant Dan? I am bitter with God, but not as much as I used to be. I believe that God works all things for our good, for the good of the church, but that doesn't mean he guarantees us a successful, happy life. In the end, it worked out for Lieutenant Dan, but that was just a fricking movie.
