Whether we are an optimist or a pessimist, it’s impossible to know what the future holds if we do not see from reality.

Perhaps the best of both worlds is to be a realistic optimist, which is someone who tends to maintain a positive outlook, but within the constraints of their self-awareness about the world. After all, it is always important for one to maintain a realistic mind to keep the positivity running and end goals to be achieved.

Awatif Ghapar helps us uncover the power of realistic optimism and how it can be practised in everyday life.
