This video discusses the concept of optimism, with various individuals sharing their personal experiences and perspectives. They highlight the importance of maintaining a positive outlook in the face of adversity, and how optimism can influence personal success and happiness.

"How do I define optimism?" That's a tough question. To go on seven job interviews, not get a call back, and still be optimistic that you're going to get a call back. Optimism is how you deal with any negativity, period. An optimistic person sees the good in things, sees hope in the future, and wants to be part of a solution to make the world a better place. It's hard to explain, but I guess optimism just brings a light to a person. I would define optimism as finding the joy in everything. When I wake up and I don't feel like that, my mom helps me because she sends me good morning texts like, "Hi, my little flower," every day. Yes, it's challenging to be optimistic when the entire support system that you rely on is looking at you and thinks you're absolutely absurd. "Who does she think she is to just leave such a comfortable job?" You know what? When I was a kid, I was definitely a bullied child, especially in middle school. But I always knew that it would be okay, because sometimes you have to really believe that you see what is special in you, even if other people don't. There is something going on and it's kind of different. It's like, "Okay, I found a lump in my breast and I don't know what it is yet." And I think this is one of the situations that you have to be optimistic about. Because I know deep down, I have that belief that I'm meant to be going through all of this to inspire other people. It's important to send out positive vibes and I think everything you put out into the world, it will come back to you. That's why optimism is very important. I have tons of friends who have pessimistic views and I see them not getting ahead in life. I think you attract what you sense, so I have to be optimistic about like, "Oh, it's fat," or "Oh, that's going to be the first time I'm going to be happy about fat." You have to be. I mean, you don't have to be, but it's better if you do. You'll be happier. Optimism is contagious in general and the way you have an outlook on life, it's portrayed to the people around you. And in the end, if it doesn't turn out the way you put it out there to turn out, there's always something to be learned. If you keep thinking good is going to happen, it's going to happen. I don't know the science behind it, but I can just say when I say, "Okay, I'm going to wake up today, it's going to be a good day," I put in the effort to make it a good day and usually, it's a good day. I hope I'm as optimistic in 20 years as I am today. I'll probably have kids, so yeah, I will be. I'll be populating the world with more optimistic people, so that's good. I'm optimistic that I'll be successful in life. I'm optimistic about my future. I'm optimistic about the unknown journey ahead to inspire other people through the power of my music. Genuinely, I do believe that people are good people and you waste so much time thinking about how it could go wrong or how terrible people can be. But if you just have that little optimism, it gets better. Thank you so much for watching this video. Your stories are our stories, so keep them coming. Your stories are fuel to us.
