Optimism

What is optimism?
A state characterized by a positive outlook; the expectation of a good outcome.

A tendency to expect the best, or at least, a favourable outcome; the doctrine that this world is the best of all possible worlds; the belief that good will eventually triumph over evil or the bad times will be overcome by good times!! :)

A refined mental style of how one chooses to respond to life.

Webster's Dictionary defines optimism as "an inclination to put the most favorable construction upon actions and events, or to anticipate the best possible outcome."

Journalist, essayist and critic, Lise Funderburg argues that optimism isn't the refuge of bubbleheads; it's a scientifically proven way to get happier, healthier and even catnippier to the opposite sex.

Recent research suggests an optimistic state comes from a series of active inner processes, psychological somersaults. That's good news because it means that optimism—like other skills such as putting on eyeliner or hitting a tennis ball or driving a car!!—is something we can improve with practice.
