Using the mindset of Optimistic Realism encourages us to remain hopeful and positive in the face of adversity. It is a way of looking at the world that allows us to see the good in any situation, no matter how difficult it may be. Being optimistically realistic is based on the idea that we can create our own reality by focusing on the positive aspects of life and then taking action to make our dreams a reality. It is a way of looking at the world that allows us to see the good in any situation, no matter how difficult it may be.
Having a positive attitude and believing that anything is possible is about having faith in yourself and in the world around you. It is about believing that you can make a difference and that you can create the life you want. It is about having the courage to take risks and try new things.
Developing this mindset when my world was shattered through the death of my husband helped me to keep myself going. Seeing positive or micro moments of joy within this tragic situation kept me from losing myself completely. As hard as it is to believe there are rays of lights within the darkness we must find them and hold on in order to make it through to the other side of our most devastating moments.
