The King's Lesson on Positivity

from The Optimistic Outlook with John Eades · host John Eades

There's an old parable about a king and his closest friend, and it might be the best case for optimism ever told. In this episode, John shares the story and unpacks what it teaches us about the difference between optimism as a personality trait and optimism as a discipline. A choice to believe that even in the hard moments, something is working in your favor that you can't fully see yet. "Optimism is a discipline. A choice to believe something is working in your favor that you can't fully see yet." Find that person in your corner. And more importantly, be that person for yourself and others.
