Life Week #49 - Optimism is not an easy thing

Ambition seems like not fitting ingredient of optimism

The problem with weekly summaries is that you try to summarize the whole week and each of the 168 hours of it in one moment based on your current mood and point of view. That of course is far from the average during the week, but well, it is what it is, right?

My actual mood related to being optimistic is far from the optimism 🫣 I have the internal feeling that I am optimistic in the situation when everything goes according to the plan and I am kinda far from actually trying to meet my ambitious goals. However, when it comes to details it pretty often occurs that diving deep into the topic shows that I'm kinda too ambitious (or too optimistic) and it turns the mood by 180 degrees.

A pretty similar thing happened today. We are considering buying a small flat in the surroundings to move our home office finally from our flat that was not designed for home office and open ourselves (me & my wife) for some earning opportunities. The thing is that we need the support of a mortgage and when it comes to the details of applying situation becomes super complex and sometimes frustrating. And it makes us start asking questions if it makes sense to buy anything. Or, as usual, are we too optimistic compared to the amount of cash we currently possess?

Maybe it's not that ambition is not fitting ingredient of optimism but being too ambitious breaks the whole recipe? 🤔
