to rebuild, reinforce, or reaffirm your faith to regain your confidence in

optimism
This is the benefit of Jupiter, that expands your horizons and fulfills
your dreams
If you believe your happiness comes from inside you and there is some
more-or-less stable and predictable order to life, you are probably an op-
timist. If you believe you have relatively little or no control over events,
you probably lean more pessimistic. Optimism is better. It is connected
to better health, success, stress management, recovery from illness and
longevity.
A serious disappointment or loss can wear you down over time and
make you more pessimistic. You can increase optimism by recognizing
your state and realigning your thoughts to more positive considerations.
- Feel good without reason, and your mind will find supportive
reasons. - Know the difference between disappointment and fear of disap-
pointment so you can handle the fear. - Do not expect people to be consistently good and rational – they
are not. - Identify and regulate your response to emotional setbacks.
- Actively seek the positive, it rubs off on you and you find silver
linings.
It is smart business to be optimistic so your optimism rubs off onto oth-
ers. Your staff, vendors and customers will be happier and more likely to
want to engage with you. You are also more likely to spot opportunities.
Remember, nothing new is accomplished without hope.
