Hi shiloh, I am an optimist and like to think of the glass as half full. As you say, it can be a challenge on times but I always remember that there are people who are in worse circumstances. Depending on the situation, I do my best and hope for a better day tomorrow. Blessings

There is a old word in China : "happy with one day, anxious with also one day". It means anybody must meet the reality whether please or annoyance. If then, why not keep optimistic about your tomorrow? After all, nervous and anxiety don't make sense.

I have heard of two other comments that may fit in here. One is that life is what happens while you are making other plans. Although you try your best to plan for your own future, you have to accept that other things will intercede and you will have to adapt to them. Optimism will help you through those times. Where there is life there is hope. You understand taht as long as there is life and the prospect of a new tomorrow, there is that hope that today's pressures will be met. A third comment comes from an old college roommate: time flies like an arrow and fruit flies like a banana. Time will go by - - that is nature and there is a calming effect knowing that. And fruitflies like a banana - some things are eternal and there is some thing calmiong about that, too. So relax and enjoy nature's ride. While you're here, you may aas well relax.

My glass is always full. I am into coping. Although it may be a challenge to smile through adversity, I think that a smile brings better results most of the time, especially when one is looking into the mirror!

Well, it helps a lot when you think positively about the future. it is true that there are stumbling blocks on the way but if you think that life is not all bed of roses, there are thorns too but, if you will be able to overcome the thorns, the roses are sweet and lovely.. that is life. I am optimistic about life..Being positive would help us to achieve success.

I am an optimist. My glass is always half-full. Yes, it can be difficult to find the brighter side at times, but I am always looking for it. When life throws obstacles in my way, it may slow me down a little, but it isn't long before I figure out how to overcome tha obstacle and keep pushing forward.
