Just Ask Elizabeth: Being an Optimist

Dear Elizabeth,

I have always tried to be an optimist. Some women I know are always a pessimist. I believe that our true power lies in being positive, that everything will work out in the end, Your thoughts?

Dear Optimist in Oregon,

Same for me. With all of life’s challenges, having a positive attitude really helps. Things really do seem to work out in their own time and in their own way, most of the time. And if it doesn’t, a positive attitude really helps you brainstorm solutions. Try to stay positive feisty women because there really are so many positive things every day to celebrate.
