"'Is Optimism Valuable?' by the Butterfly Marketing Team, the Most Effective Internet Marketers Today, Mike Filsaime, Paulie Sabol, Donna Fox and Tom Beal"
13. Is optimism valuable?
Mike Filsaime: Yes. It’s all in that circle Ralph of positive thinking. If you are pessimistic you will achieve pessimistic results. If you are optimist you will achieve optimum results. All going back to the power of positive thinking, the energy you put out there comes back to you in the same way. The entire universe is built on energy.
The reasons why you are sick or if you’re healthy are based on energy. So when you put out positive energy that’s what that is, is optimism. When you put out positive energy it will come back to you in positive ways.
If you are pessimistic, that glass is half empty. I know entrepreneurs and I know you. We believe that the glass is half full. A lot of people believe that the glass is half empty. When people start thinking half empty the sooner or later the glass will be completely empty.

Paulie Sabol: To an extent. If you are optimistic that others will contribute and make things better, and thus you are liberated from the responsibility to make things better yourself, it is detrimental rather than valuable. If your optimism is the measure by which you see success, then it may not be self serving because you may not move to the point of results.
You may just be remaining optimistic always despite the feedback that you’re getting. So it goes back to this question about setbacks, misfortunes and mistakes. If, for example, you don’t tie your shoe well, you have a setback with regards to your shoe tying system.
Because you don’t tie your shoes well, they come undone and you have the misfortune of tripping on them, and you fall and you hurt yourself. You become optimistic that next time, when you tie your shoe, it is just going to work out better for you.
But you do the same system, you do the same process, you don’t add the feedback, the lesson that came out of the result that you got, and you are just optimistic, you are going to optimistically fall and hurt yourself.
Optimism is important because it is another one of those emotions that gives us the energy. But the reason we should be optimistic is again because we selected a system that gives us the highest probability of success, we are taking consistent and conscience action, and we remain optimistic because we know the philosophy of trust the truth, that eventually because we are destined and designed to do something great, and we are great stuff, we are going to get great results.
Ralph Zuranski: That is so true. It is amazing how many people follow the pathway of insanity that do the same thing everyday and think that by doing everything the same way, they are actually going to change their lives and have a different output.
Paulie Sabol: And on top of that, they may try and do the same things as somebody else. They try to do that in efforts to perhaps maybe be liked or feel like they are trading it for some love, affection, or community. But the real fact of the matter is, they don’t like the results that the other person is getting.
Maybe they’ve been mean to them the whole time, but they want to be like them. It just doesn’t make sense. So we fall into that very often.
Ralph Zuranski: That’s a fuel source of insanity. When we are dealing with insanity and psychological aberrations, do you believe that it is important to maintain a sense of humor in the face of serious problems?

Donna Fox: I think optimism is important. I also think that pessimism and realism are important. Any time you have too much of anything you put life out of balance.
It’s good to have optimism because it’s what gets you through the rough times. It’s good to have pessimism because it keeps you grounded and most of the time it’s good to have realism so you are aware of all of the influences everywhere.
So yes, I think optimism is equally as important as pessimism.

TOM BEAL: Optimism, man life will get you down if you read the papers and watch the news. You think the sky is falling. Chicken Little is a movie that just came out in cartoon but I tell you what if you watch the news and read the paper you’ll think the sky is falling and everyone is out to get you. You would lock yourself in your room.
You have live boldly. Stuff is going to happen. Back to that Attraction Factor here’s something that I personally, internally know, there is a conspiracy. Everything is conspiring to help me, assist me in accomplishing all my goals and to attract everything that I desire.
That’s a spin, yes there’s a conspiracy, but it’s a positive one if everything is working exactly the way it needs to assist me in fulfilling dreams and desires that I have. I may not understand why things happen but I know that all things work for good.
There are certain times I can’t interpret or understand, like my friend Jim Kelly whose son passed away at eight years old was born with life threatening illness. Why does that happen? Jim even says why me? I go to church and I’m a good guy so why me?
There have been studies and in the short eight years that Hunter was alive that disease he had is going to save thousands of lives and lives of kids that haven’t been born yet. That eight year old life impacted more lives than people who lived to be a hundred years old. There are things we aren’t meant to know or we can’t understand.
And all we know is what can we do? Do the best you can do. If you do the best you can do and everybody takes that upon themselves to do the best they can then the world’s problem would kind of dissipate.
There wouldn’t be any problems. If everybody’s being the best they can then that’s all we can be. We can’t be any other thing than that.
