Optimism might seem obvious, but it’s not all “Pollyanna” “glass half full” silliness.  We’ll look at the three big components that make up Optimism, as I see it.

Topics discussed in this episode: 

• Intentional Optimism - a refresher [3:22]
  • Optimistic - hopeful, positive, proactive
  • Present - having a sense of wonder, generous, kind/open
  • Courageous - lead, adventure, resilient
  • Energetic - industrious, energetic and life-focused
  • Wise - understanding, words, respect
  • Intentional - sense of purpose, plan, grow
• What is Optimism? [3:30]
  • Hope
  • Positivity
  • Proactivity

Resources mentioned in this episode: 

• The 15 Invaluable Laws, by John C. Maxwell [16:19]
• “12 Ways to Cultivate an Optimistic Outlook”[18:38]

Now what? 

• Start looking for the positives - “flip the script.” [16:50]
• Identify areas where you need to prepare for something. [17:40]
• Where are you procrastinating? Find out why - this is where growth begins. [17:50]
• Ask WHAT IF? You may be surprised what you find. [18:17]
