What's so good/bad about optimism?

Exactly! I am an optimist and apparently there's evidence that having a positive perspective is good for us, increasing resilience and increasing the chances that we will be less down for less time if something bad happens 

 

You and I agree on something!

You know, pretty much I believe that were we to meet in real life, we would get on like a house on fire.. that can be really good, or really bad :P But I am convinced we have more commonality than differences. 

 

  Slim chance and fat chance of that ever happening!  No, I’m just joking. If we met each other, we’d get along just fine.

 

 

So true! If we believe we can't do something, we won't even try - better to try even if we suck than not to try at all.

PS I heard a fabulous version of the Barber of Seville recently!  I think that's one of my favourites  This post was edited by Adaydreambeliever at June 1, 2020 5:57 PM MDT

 

  Whether you believe you can or you believe you can’t, you’re absolutely right.
