An Optimistic Outlook on Life

What does it mean to be an optimist? Does it mean to block out negative news and instead only try to see the rosy side of everything? No, an optimist happens to be a realist who can see a silver lining in everything that happens.

Reality is what it is, and you can certainly contemplate the implications of possible downside scenarios, but then put it aside and trust that even in that case life will go on and your experience of the so called worst case scenario might be quite different from what you anticipate. A 'fall' is not really as bad as it seems when the incident is meaningful to you and when you understand what your suffering is about and what you can learn from it.

Don't try to anticipate a bad outcome, put your heart and soul into the manifestation and realization of your personal upside case instead. The Law of Attraction states that you attract what you think about; so eagerly prepare for your upside scenario in whatever you do and whatever happens.
