Optimists - 7 unusual traits they possess

The simple act of working toward a goal makes everyone feel alive. In contrast, those who have not realized their dreams or desires view life through a negative lens. If there is one thing that characterizes optimists, it is the ability to set goals and fight for them.

Where others see failure, optimists see an opportunity to gain experience.

Being honest with ourselves means putting aside excuses and justifications. This attitude requires courage because we cannot try to hide from the truth. It means facing life and being honest with ourselves.

Systematic comparison with others only leads to distorted thoughts and poisoned hearts. We are incomparable. There is no way to measure who is a better or worse person. A prisoner may have a better seat than a business manager but a worse ability to achieve his own goals. This cannot be measured.

Motivation means "to set in motion" despite any obstacles. It means pushing forward to achieve a specific goal. Optimists know that the strength to fight comes from within. This is because they do not adjust their actions to the approval or disapproval of others but to their own beliefs.

We treat other people the same way we treat ourselves. When someone accepts himself, it is easier for him to get others. On the other hand, if someone struggles to appreciate and love himself, what usually happens is that he transfers this inner conflict to others. Then others become the target of constant criticism.

No one is a true optimist if they don't work on themselves. This means getting to know yourself, forgiving mistakes and errors, and assigning proper value to your achievements. You are your project. Working on this project and feeling proud of your progress translates into optimism in your daily life.
