AFFIRMATION ‘I am a magnet for joy. When I focus on the good, the good gets better. I radiate this energy into every room that I enter.

Optimism is the one quality more associated with success and happiness than
any other.

Optimists are happier in life for a reason.

Choose the positive. — You have choice — you are master of your attitude — choose the POSITIVE, the CONSTRUCTIVE. Optimism is a faith that leads to success.

Good values are like a magnet, they attract good people.

The more you feed your mind with positive thoughts, the more you can attract great things into your life.

You are a living magnet. What you attract into your life is in harmony with your dominant thoughts.

I believe that positive energy and optimism help us to take up any challenge in life and to succeed in even the most difficult tasks. I also believe that positive energy is contagious: we can transmit it to others.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement.

Third, you can increase the positive — whatever is enjoyable or beneficial — by creating, growing, or preserving it. You could breathe more quickly to lift your energy, remember times with friends that make you feel happy, have realistic and useful thoughts about a situation at work, or motivate yourself by imagining how good it will feel to eat healthy foods.

If you are genetically endowed with an optimistic bias, you hardly need to be told that you are a lucky person — you already feel fortunate. An optimistic attitude is largely inherited, and it is part of a general disposition for well-being, which may also include a preference for seeing the bright side of everything. If you were allowed one wish for your child, seriously consider wishing him or her optimism. Optimists are normally cheerful and happy, and therefore popular; they are resilient in adapting to failures and hardships, their chances of clinical depression are reduced, their immune system is stronger, they take better care of their health, they feel healthier than others and are in fact likely to live longer. A study of people who exaggerate their expected life span beyond actuarial predictions showed that they work longer hours, are more optimistic about their future income, are more likely to remarry after divorce (the classic “triumph of hope over experience”), and are more prone to bet on individual stocks.

Be an optimist! It’s the only way to live.

optimism is a form of positive leverage

Good things happen in your life when you surround yourself with positive people.
