Optimists live longer and healthier lives

"The optimist proclaims we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this it true." - James B. Cabell "A pessimist is an optimist on the way home from the races." - Unknown

I'm very pessimistic, I don't want to be. I want to be optimistic and happy, but I havent yet figured out how to make that happen. Sigh.

I hate this article

mind over matter

I hate this article Oh dear, that really cheered me up well said To me, the conclusion of this article is: optimists live more optimistic.

I thought only the good die young?

I'm like that too; I think generally I am a pessimist but I somehow come into my own when things do go wrong; when that happens, I'm usually looking for the way to put it right! I think that it's basic human nature. I'm sure there are plenty of others out there who consider themselves pessimists until things go so bad, sheer willpower prevails. Sadly, not all of the time though.

I am the ultimate optimist. You could chop off all my limbs and leave me to die in a gutter, and I'd be thinking 'At least it'll make a good news story.' I can see the bright side of anything. I'm with Harriet on this... Most of the time... Don't think anyone can be hyper optimistic all the time... Still... I have a chance to live longer than some... Like I didn't know that already....

Id like to think Id live some 600 plus years as Noah did... But Hell, things would really be sagging then!!! What do ya think Karlis??? We can settle for a ripe ole 100??? works for me! Blessings

Sweet. Probably not true, but you never know!
