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.

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