When you’re feeling that optimism, could you write down or record the things that make you feel optimistic and reflect on those in the morning?
If you’re anything like me, morning-you will just thing evening-you is an unrealistic optimist who needs to get a grip.
Oh that's true for me as well, evening me is overly optimistic. I still wish that day me had some of that optimism though because he's too pessimistic from being let down by fate. Maybe I leave too many things to chance but with things like bumping into the right people, success is largely outside of your control
That depends on how you define success, though.
