“Clouds are a part of my life that come from other days, not to bring rain or storms but to add colour to my sunset skies.” – RabindranathTagore Stray Birds 1916

Humans have always sought fulfillment since infancy. To feel happy, people chase fame, success and approval. The gap in confidence that a person felt was growing as more of these non-physical’materials became important. Nowadays, success is considered happiness, and failures are deemed unacceptable. It is possible to have a positive outlook and see all aspects of life in a positive light. Positive outlooks lead to happier life choices. This is due to their mental well-being. Berler (2016) claims that happiness leads to greater success. Positive outlook will help you see the positives in every situation and motivate you to succeed. They will see the obstacles in life as opportunities to reach the top. Psychological resilience, which is one of life’s greatest attributes, is what optimism can help you achieve. Karpel, a licensed psychologist and clinical psychologist, states that pessimists are more susceptible to death within six months of the death of their spouse. However, people who are optimistic about the future of their own aging experience a life expectancy of 7.5 years. This relationship between emotion and point-of-view can be likened to a boat at sea. Waves won’t affect optimists the same way as other people. They don’t care if their boat rocks because they know they will reach the shore eventually. Kamen & Seligman (1987), believe that optimism can help with depression and anxiety. Every person can experience depression at any age. People may feel isolated. In such cases, optimism can make a huge difference. Karpel (2017) states that optimism can increase endorphin release, which are natural mood boosters. Positive thinking can help people have a happy life and let them start again.

Positive outlook can have a positive impact on your physical and mental health. Studies have shown that having an optimistic outlook helps reduce the risk of many diseases. In 2001, 1,306 men were surveyed and found that those with the highest levels of optimism were less likely than others to develop coronary disease. This does not necessarily mean that everyone is healthier. However, it suggests that optimism is closely linked to happiness. Therefore, people who are happy tend to be more attentive. They realize the worth of their lives and take better care of themselves. This helps them to live longer with better health. Recovery from illness is also possible when optimism is present. In a study of patients who underwent an aortic and coronary bypass, optimism was the most important factor that affected their quality-of-life for six months. Patients who are optimistic show greater clinical improvement and faster recovery after being discharged from the hospital. People are encouraged to keep living their lives by feeling positive and motivated.

Positive perspective can help you see the bigger picture. This can help us see the bigger picture and appreciate all that life has to offer. It can help us see beyond the negative and find new ways of moving forward. Each person has their own priorities and expectations. However, everyone wants happiness. Let optimism guide you on your journey to happiness.
