Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power.

William James


Consider that not only do negative thoughts and emotions destroy our experience of peace, they also undermine our health.


Isn't it fascinating how our body and mind are so connected? Letting go of negativity not only brings inner peace but also strengthens our immunity.


“Optimists think badly, but live well.”
― Marty Rubin


Optimism is the madness of insisting that all is well when we are miserable.

Voltaire



Harvard psychologist Laura Kubzansky has chosen to study optimism. In a large study she tracked 1,300 men for 10 years and found that heart-disease rates among men who called themselves optimistic were half the rates for men who didn't. The differences between the two groups was as dramatic as that seen between smokers and non smokers.
