Excited?
I don’t get excited. Often I feel that when it comes to events in my life, other people are more excited than I am. Is this a defense? Do I prevent myself from getting excited because of the possibility of failure? Do I expect events to not occur as I want them to occur? This kind of attitude must have an effect on the decisions I make on a daily basis. If I enter a situation expecting it to not work, then I must be projecting a certain negative attitude on the situation. That sounds like a recipe for failure. I must be projecting that whatever it is I am trying to accomplish will not happen as I hoped.
How can this course of action (or inaction) be prevented? Is there a surefire technique for plunging into a venture without feeling the loom of imminent failure? This certainly can’t be a good way to live.
