How can I learn to be more of an optimist?

Question

I am a pessimist by nature, how can I learn to be more of an optimist?

Answer 1

Just look at the bright side of life and try to be at peace with yourself.

Answer 2

to see the dark side of things doesn't mean you have a pessimistic personality, look at Lewis Black and Dennis Leary. They are both extremely pessimistic but funny and probably entertaining to be around. Have fun with your own pessimistic nature.

Answer 3

Im a pessimist as well, but im hopefully optimistic. My first reaction to things is negative...then I think about it for a moment and try to switch it into a positive by finding something funny or whatever about it.

Answer 4

You can't.  It's impossible.
