When an optimist has a set back, how does he feel? He does not see the defeat as a permanent one. This does not mean that he denies reality. Rather, he accepts and examines the matter. Then as circumstances allow, he takes action to change or improve the situation. One should not blame himself for adversity, misfortune is not permanent and it did not come from one's stupidity, incompetence, or poor image. One should not resign himself to failure. When you find yourself thinking that you won't enjoy something or you won't succeed in some project, reject the thought. Focus on the positive. Look for friends who view life positively. Deal with the situations that you can control, try to accept those you cannot. Optimism improves your health.
