Today is International Optimist Day. I class myself as an optimist. I strive to always see the positive in a situation and the best in people. The advantage of this means I don’t catastrophise when things go wrong, I don’t jump to the worst-case scenario.
The disadvantage of being an optimist is the risk of missing the potential worst case happening and not being prepared physically or emotionally for this.
For me, the best combination is being an optimist AND being self-aware about this so that you can consciously plan for the worst, whilst believing that something better will happen.
