Lesson 5 Optimism

This week one of the main things I learned about this week is being optimistic no matter what the circumstance. I gained this insight from the Acton video where Desh said "optimism is really what helps me out, I just feel like things are going to work…just sit on the bad things for a little while and then things do not look as bad!" I sometimes have a difficult time being optimistic when bad things happen to me. As a result of this video though it allowed me to realize that I am the one in control of how I feel and how I choose to react. I am choosing to act in optimism in my life instead of negativity from now on.

$100 Challenge Project: This week was a good learning experience because thinking about how much things cost is definitely a task but it is worth it in the long run. Being a wise steward of money is something I have struggled with is being a wise steward of my money. This exercise was good for me is because I have a tendency to over spend and not follow a budget. Sticking to the $20 budget will be a good thing for me overall as I think it will show me how far money really can go. I have realized that as I keep track of my money.
