56. Optimism: The Underrated Key To Success

Think of the most optimistic person you know. The one who, no matter what comes their way, always seems to take it in stride with a smile on their face. Sometimes, these are the very people that can make our bad moods worse with their “head in the clouds” mentality. Truth is, we should learn from them… Welcome back to the Unlimited Potential Show! Today we take a look into the power of optimism. Despite what we may have seen in our lives, optimistic outlooks have been linked in a number of studies as the key to finding success in multiple areas of our lives like work, education, and even changing our DNA.
