Some situations are hard. Others feel overwhelming. But one branch of the military trains soldiers on something they always control, their outlook.

In this episode, John explains why optimism is not denial or toxic positivity. It is a disciplined decision to choose the most productive perspective available, regardless of circumstances.

You'll learn why the story you tell yourself shapes how you act next, and why a positive outlook is a leadership responsibility, not a personality trait.

🟩 Quote of the Day: "Optimism is not denial. It is discipline."
