“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” – Winston Churchill
Optimists are people you keep witnessing around every now and then. You feel better while being in their company. They are high spirited people and never appear sad or tensed.
They survive every nonsense and always find a song when they wish to sing. But how to know if you are one of them? Here are 8 signs that prove you are an optimist.
#1. Gratitude Is Your Ultimate Answer
You know that the key is to count your blessings. If you are an optimist, you'll be all stocked up with the good things happening to you in life. Hardships and failures are definitely a part of your life but you even know how to handle the obstacles in the most elegant manner. Good times are what you focus on.

#2. Giving Up Isn't Your Agenda
You only believe in improving the situations however you can. You are persistent and succeed even the oddest hour. You can figure out how to go about in the unfavorable conditions.

#3. Jealousy Is Far From You
You are more towards finding inspiration rather than letting anyone down. You aren't jealous of anyone. You appreciate everyone's beauty and intelligence without hampering you own. Usually, there's a smile on your face, everything seems genuine and you also are healthy. The optimistic attitude that you behold also becomes a reason for others to smile.

#4. Forgiveness Is Another Weapon
You totally understand the importance of forgiveness and how it acts as a weapon in paving better future possibilities. Holding on to the past isn't your kind of a thing. You believe in creating bright realities rather than getting under the control of people who let you down.

#5. You Pave Way For Believing In Self And In Others
While the entire globe is full of people who keep cribbing about their crappy jobs, low income, poor health and indecent relationships, you are the one standing tall to face the problems and not let them drown you in the ocean of sorrow. You trust your abilities, strive for betterment and do not form judgments if not socially accepted. You are the person who emits a positive aura and the one who can turn anyone's spark into a roaring flame.

#6. Bad Experiences Don't Obstruct Your Way
Be it any situation, an optimist would never let his/ her bad experiences become a cause of tomorrows suffering. Optimists would never let their misfortunes blur tomorrow's success. The bigger picture is what you aim for. Letting one unfortunate day dictate the entire week or month or life is not your belief.

#7. Destiny Is Under Your Control
When a person feels that they can monitor their destiny, it reflects their optimism. Not that he or she is over confident about oneself. But how well you are working towards your goals and what kind of a life you are leading is what starts maintaining positivity. All your actions start rewarding you sooner or later.

#8. Is It Your Fault?
No, if something bad happens you shouldn't blame it on yourself even if it's your fault. Rather, it's important to question whether the tensions are worth it or not? An optimist sternly believes that any circumstance that's less than ideal doesn't portray their shortcomings.

When you are an optimist, you acknowledge the fact that things might be going a really hard way but your life isn’t the worst. You develop a trust that everything that happens, happens for a reason and that you’ll have to work towards them. You become more patient and work towards blossoming. Optimists start realizing that waiting for something isn’t a punishment, its the preparation time. Your life becomes really easy as positives are what you keep finding in every situation. Isn’t that a better case than focusing on the negatives throughout. When you are happy, it not only shows from within but you also shine on the outside. An optimist accurately knows how to trick the brain into performing the way they want and not how others want them to. But you also understand that an emotional turmoil cannot always be forced out with positive thinking. Hence, you courageously face the situation, you let it out, cry, shout and bounce back to your bubbly attitude.
