Dr. Martin Seligman is the father of Positive Psychology and he coin the term, Flexible Optimism.

Flexible optimism is different from Blind optimism in that failure IS an option, and they are prepared for it if it occurs. Thinking through various options and contingency plans prior to moving forward with an event, task, or change... is what Flexible optimism is all about.

However, after careful planning, being able to switch your focus and attention on achieving the desired outcome with the foundational belief in your ability to get it done is the art of practicing this skill successfully.
