Ep. 28 - The Power of Optimism

When we think about optimism, sometimes it's easy to think about
having your head in the clouds, or living with rose-colored
glasses on. 


Right now as we face down a global health crisis, it can be
difficult to 1) see the good in anything and 2) be vocal about
optimism when by and large most sources of information are
negative, speculative or flat-out false. 


Vaney and Tamien break down the core concepts of optimism,
talking about how optimism doesn't end with just having a
positive thought, or hoping for the best. True and proactive
optimism seeks out ways to influence or control the factors
around us that we can change, and to put into perspective the
things we can't. 


True optimism is an action and as Vaney says - nothing of
significance happens without intention.
