Optimism wins. Always.

I’m never suggesting a blind, unthinking cheerfulness. But for most of humanity, fear is our reflex reaction. When faced with even the mildest barriers in our lives, we tend to react with fear, imagining the worst case scenario we can think of.

Be the opposite.

When faced with adversity, envision what’s the best case that can come out of the situation. Which enables your subconscious to work out paths to a better outcome.

The current shutdown due to the virus is, at best, unpleasant. But facing it with a “how do I make this work for the best?” mentality will not only enable you to muddle through this. It will help you to bring some positive good out of it, and make your life better into the future.
