Optimism and the Power of Positive Thinking

Success in life is something that everyone wants and few achieve it. For some its money, some its fame. For others success is a matter of family strength and stability.

The core of success is rooted in the deep soil of ability and accomplishment backed by abiding will and determination. One can achieve his or her goal through looking at all obstacles with an optimistic view. Optimism is the tendency to believe, expect or hope that things will turn out well. Even if something bad happens an optimist sees the silver lining. The emerging field of positive psychology studies the positive impact that optimism has on mental health. Other research shows that optimism may be good for our physical health too-optimists are sick less and live longer than pessimists. Apparently, a positive outlook on life strengthens the immune system , cardiovascular system, and the body's ability to handle stress. Being an optimist or a pessimist boils down to the way you talk to yourself.

Optimists believe that their own actions result in positive things happening, that they are responsible for their own happiness, and that they can expect more good things to happen in the future. Optimists don't blame themselves when bad things happen. Optimists take everyday as a challenge. I conclude by saying that one should always be practical, realistic and optimistic in life to achieve their target set.
