I’m just a realist. You can label it however you like. It’s the INTJ in me.[/quote]
If you were in a room with my dad he’d tell you to turn that frown upside down.[/quote]
In my opinion, one of the secrets to contentment is keeping one’s expectations low so that such expectations are rarely dashed. Consequently, as a realist, I’m rarely disappointed, often pleasantly surprised, and thus quite content with my lot in life. In fact, if contentment could be measured, my suspicion is that I’d place in the top couple of percentage points. I love my life. Because I have so much control over it (relative to other folks, that is), there’s not a lot I’d change (otherwise I’d get to it). But one of the main reasons that I love my life is that I don’t deceive myself regarding what’s realistic and what’s not. Assuming that a realist is also necessarily a pessimist (or otherwise unhappy) is not a logical conclusion.[/quote]
I’ve heard that positive imagery sometimes helps. You think of things like fuzzy bunnies and rolling meadows.

Fredo: What about rolling bunnies and fuzzy meadows? Better imagery, at least to me. Or bunnies with fuzzy meadows? Think Hugh Hefner.
