Episode #26: Pessimism to Optimism-Part II of my Crisis to Opportunity podcast is the second of four in which I explore the importance of mindset in how you respond to a crisis.

An optimistic mindset views the world through a lens that is at the opposite end of the continuum from pessimism. Optimism is “a disposition or tendency to look on the more favorable side of events or conditions and to expect the most favorable outcome…confidence about the future or the successful outcome of something.” Optimism creates possibilities and breeds confidence in your capabilities. It instills in you a belief that what you want can come true. It inspires you and fuels the fire that drives you to give your fullest efforts in pursuit of the most positive resolution to the crisis. In sum, optimism helps you to shift from a crisis mentality to an opportunity psychology.
