Perhaps the saying that opens this article has already been used a lot, so its meaning and strength may seem blurred, however, it remains very much in force. It is a phrase that, in an environment as tragicomic as Cervantes’s work, remains an open door to hope.
- A positive mental attitude allows us to make a difference.
- Cervantes managed to make a difference?With his novel he entered history as one of humanity’s great works.
- Always leaving a small door open to hope between realism and pessimism.
Precisely this last situation, the small door that opens to hope, can be a point of light that prevents us from sabotaging and lamenting lost opportunities, seeking and exploiting new possibilities.
Maintaining a positive mental attitude does not mean that we should be happy and playful at all times, no one can be happy all the time, but we should not be unhappy forever either, so it is so important not to give up, keep waiting, see the glass half full and not focus the dark spot of a blank page.
But to adopt this attitude it is important to know how to do it, that is why we offer you these keys. If we have an open mind and the ability to manage our thoughts and attention, it will not be difficult to adopt a positive attitude that allows us to see the world from a less pessimistic perspective.
Psychologist Arturo Torres offers us a number of keys to adopting a positive mental attitude in our way of life. The first concerns what we said in the previous paragraph, it has to do with realism, which in no way should add a tone of pessimism.

When we believe that everything has collapsed around us, reality seems to be much more sinister and negative, however, if we allow discouragement to flood each of our thoughts, in the end everything around us will take that dark tone, even if it is in this sense, distorting and disfiguring is a trap that we apply ourselves.
Realism is not pessimism, but also illusion and impossible dreams, the truth is that we have the power in our hands to find a path full of achievable concrete goals, in this way achieving a goal will be a source of joy and happiness, so it is the fuel that helps us move with courage and will towards the next goal , that is, acting mentally in this way we will obtain a very powerful source of motivation.
Obviously, the environment is basic. If the people who live with us share a positive attitude, it will be much easier to have an optimistic and hopeful mind, in this way the environment becomes a stimulant and a motivation, otherwise the result will obviously be diametrically opposed.
It is good to consider sustainable goals, because achieving them will take us somewhere. Try to develop long-term projects. A series of simple and united goals generates a much greater goal, the purpose of what we do.
Think about what you want to build and try to achieve. Put a logic or context in the here and now. Find what will help you move forward and achieve more ambitious goals, such as personal development. A well-planned now is a great pillar for future happiness and well-being.
