Every day, you get to make a choice about the kind of outlook you're going to have on life.

Pessimistic or optimistic. Your upbringing might be a factor or your environment plays a role. But the choice remains yours.

And while that might not seem like a big decision, Alex Hormozi would say otherwise. He said,

"The world belongs to optimists. Because if you're going to do anything big, you have to believe it can happen."

Think about that for a second.

If you want to play small, your outlook doesn't really matter. But if you're the kind of person who wants the world to be your oyster, it absolutely does. Regardless of how you feel about Elon Musk, you can't argue with the fact that he sets out to solve massive, complex problems at a scale most people wouldn't dare attempt. Electric cars. Space travel. Big bets. If he didn't believe it could happen, he never would have started them.

But you don't have to start a rocket company to embrace this idea.

You just have to want something better than what exists in your life today. Look at history, and you'll find the same pattern every time. Everyone who started something new began with an optimistic outlook, or they never would have taken the first step.

Optimism isn't just a personality trait. It's the entry fee for anything worth doing.

So the question is simple: are you paying it?

Play small and your outlook doesn't matter. Want more? It absolutely does.
