Here’s heartwarming news: People with a family history of heart disease who also had a positive outlook were one-third less likely to have a heart attack or other cardiovascular event within five to 25 years than those with a more negative outlook.

Putting positive thinking into practice: Thoughts Can Change Your Life
Optimism is a learnable quality. That means you can learn how to think positively by taking adopting an optimistic mindset.
Optimists seem to have different ways of dealing with the world that set them apart from the average.
- First, they keep their minds on what they want and keep looking for ways to get it. They are clear about goals and they are confident that they will accomplish them, sooner or later.
- Second, optimists look for the good in every problem or difficulty. When things go wrong, as they often do, they say, “That’s good!” And then set about finding something positive about the situation.
