Here’s How Optimism Can Make You Stronger, Happier, and More Creative

Hey there­­ you— Here is a secret. Get excited!

Look. You can live longer, stronger, happier, and more creatively. Right now. Instantly. Guaranteed.


Listen. No one is the same. Your truth is your passion. But finding the right fit can be a lonely dance.

Learn to find the things in your life that mean the most to you: your health, happiness, and growth.

Happiness is a field of flowers that flow right at your fingertips, but it’s the fight to be true to yourself that gets you there.

An optimist understands that life can be a bumpy road, but at least it is leading somewhere. They learn from mistakes and failures, and are not afraid to fail again.” – Harvey Mackay

Try It Now

Start by becoming more optimistic. Researchers found optimism had a remarkable impact on physical health. Heart disease, immunity, cancer, pregnancy outcomes, pain tolerance.

People with more optimistic outlooks had better results and did better in the long run than pessimistic people. Having a positive attitude boosts physical health, no matter the problem.

Optimism is timeless and global. Nelson Mandela called it heading for the sun one step at a time. Let it burn your eyes. Sometimes you will fail. You are the future, bright and powerful.

Benjamin Franklin explains it like this. We can’t control all that happens to us, but we can control what happens inside us. In the future, you will fail much better.

So be a bulldog. Like Winston Churchill. Because it does not seem to be much use to be anything else.

You will grow stronger. Here is a haiku gift to get started. These describe things I found extraordinary in the mundane, sand, boats, dogs, cats, sheets, love, and laundry. They can be useful for wrapping your head around things or opening your mind.

Finally, we need each other to come together to make things grow. Here’s how you can help.

Look around life and enjoy. Thanks for reading! Sean
