Optimism has given me the heave-ho to get out of rotten situations and has given me the resiliency to never give up. I’m definitely a cock-eyed optimist in many ways. It has, however, also trapped me in really bad relationships because I was optimistic that things would eventually get better, when they never did. Too much of a good thing can be bad…
Optimism can give me confidence or make me blind… the trick is to know when’s when.
