An Optimal View of Optimism

Something that can be quite hard to get around is the optimistic view on life. The idea of hoping that things will, cross fingers, turn out just fine. However, while it might not seem to be a realistic or smart outlook. There is good common sense behind it.

Optimism, its the ability to look at a situation, and believe that things can work out right. While that might sound daft, if you get true optimism, averse to mere hoping, that something will happen. You realize, optimism is more than a mere matter of structuring of your thoughts, but your whole body. It affects, not just your mindset, but by creating a reality so to speak where there wasn’t one before.

When you are optimistic, you are looking for the good. This ability when used actively changes the reality of the situation, by looking for any chance to escape to a better reality. It’s a bit like Macgyver (For those too young, he was blonde hair Houdini) if he just chose to sit around, firstly, no one would want to watch him, and secondly he wouldn’t be able to escape. By thinking actively and taking on the view that he can get out, he is able to change the reality that he is locked up or trapped

It’s not that optimism, is saying pretty please to fate, and hoping for the best, but it’s actually when you put yourself out there, you release an “energy” so to speak that enables you to get out of your predicament.

While that might sound all fairy airy, it can be best explained by this. When you feel down or don’t think things are working right, you usually look down, or rub your face. However, when you're optimistic, your staying positive, you have hope, your looking upwards. Constantly looking for any small chance or opportunity that can be exploited. 

This means that you’re able to spot an opportunity because your not looking down but instead actively looking around for a chance. By doing this, you're having feelings that you project to others and your body language, so that you are able to snap up opportunity. 

Optimism, will only be able to fully function if you fully throw yourself into your problem. When you're double minded, your energies will be divided between trying to be optimistic and preparing for plan B. You can believe in optimism or understand it, but either way, it can only be best used when you're actively using it. Optimism has a lot to do with the mind, and as the old saying goes, if you put your mind to it, you can do anything. So in the same manner, you can, if you stay optimistic.
