Negativity and the Cruising Sailor

[maxingout]

Sailing around the world is easy. Anyone can do it one day at a time.

Staying positive is the hard part.

Negativity is an unfailing and unwanted companion that eternally invites you to abandon your dreams. Negative thinking sinks most sailing dreams before they even get started.

There are optimists, pessimists, and realists. I'm not sure where I fall in this group, but I'm absolutely sure that sailing around the world on your own yacht is worth it. At least it was worth it for me.

I wrote a small piece about negative thinking and the cruising sailor. Check it out.

Is negative thinking a problem for you, and has it kept you from sailing on the ocean of your dreams? What do you do to stay positive in the face of opposition and adversity?
