Introduction - Why Do This Blog?

In the world we live in today, at times it can be very challenging to maintain an optimistic outlook on life. Yet, scientists have found that optimists have better health and live longer than others. In addition, that optimists cope better with stress, and are less likely to develop depression. So, I am making a real effort to think positively, and try to reflect a more cheerful disposition.

I have found that not only being around positive people, but also reading and listening to inspirational and motivating people ( like: Dale Carnegie, Dr. Norman Vincent Price, Les Brown, Barbara Deangelis, Zig Ziglar, Tony Robbins, Maya Angelou, Stephen Covey, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, Og Mandino - just to name a few) is a great help in that direction. This blog is my way of encouraging myself and other people, to try to live with a more optimistic outlook.
