Are you an optimist or a pessimist?
A famous quote by Winston Churchill may hold the key to the answer. “Optimists see an opportunity in every difficulty and pessimists see a difficulty in every opportunity!”
More specifically being optimistic relates to being confident, hopeful and maintaining a favorable view about events and future outcomes – not always easy with the propensity of the media to feed us with a diet of fear and doom and gloom.
Your attitude and approach to life could be enhancing your wellbeing; success, prosperity and even longevity or it could be chipping away at your self-esteem, relationships and health.
