Hi Eduardo,

Yes these situations can be challenging indeed. Always the first question to ask would be "why did I manifest the situation?" - as in this case - why did you manifest the pessimist?

Let me quickly add - it doesn't sound like you're being a pessimist! But maybe rather than telling him he is, you might empower him by accepting him as he is, but then asking him open ended questions about why he's like that? What does he think he gains by it?

That way you might ignite the inner inquiry for him, which will be the only true way he can really change.

Wishing you well with it!

Open
