The True Meaning of Optimism
True Optimism is about “Solution Oriented Realism”. It’s about taking into account the Good, Bad and the Ugly, then flexibly weighing up the Problems and Opportunities with the Resources one has at one’s disposal, then deciding whether sacrificing in the MOMENT will reap Big rewards in the future.
Yes… True Optimism is about knowing when to take 2 steps backwards before moving forwards once again.
The other type of Optimism is the kind where people don’t seem to feel the weight of their problems on their shoulders, they don’t see the weeds that are destroying their dreams, and they fail to understand that life isn’t a straight line forward, but rather a curved line that turns in on itself time after time before moving forward once again.
