  May I say to you that optimism is the oldest way of thinkiing in the history of our world. Remember your ancestor, the first man? On the day of the warm sun, when he did not know the icey cold night lasting 9-12 hours, he believed it was always going to be like that. When the freezing night came finally, he thought, "I hope that warmth will return soon, or else I die." How about meeting the Tyrannosaurus Rex? The early man saw him around the corner of the cave and said, "I hope he does not eat me for lunch." Fast forward to the future. I see my wife standing close to a good looking man. I want to believe that he did not make her warmer than me. You see, life is about hope, but on the brighter side of things. Never give up friend and try to be happy even though it is work!

  "The disparity between positive and pessimistic minds is especially prominent in areas of the brain that have been linked to depression."
  Jeez, I never would have guessed that.

  If the Law of Attraction is true, you tent to get what you expect, whether it is GOOD (positive) or BAD (negative). Every thought, feeling, word or act we have done in the past, being aware of them or not, now comes to our life as a harvest or attraction. What "ye sow, ye reap" . :)
