Life is so unpredictable. You never know what's going to happen today or tomorrow. However, there is a subset of people who always look on the bright side, regardless of their failures or mishaps. They are emotionally stable and have some great traits. Those traits lead them towards success. These people are called "Optimists."

An optimistic is one who considers a failure a lesson for future. He learns from those mistakes, finds the solutions to not fail again, and then expects the best results. That's exactly what makes him successful. How many of you want to be successful? Probably all of us.

Success remains a dream for those who don't build certain qualities into themselves, and that dream could only turn into reality if people start working for it.

Most of us want to be successful, but only some of us work for it. There are also those who would love to work on those traits, but simply aren't fully aware of them? Maybe they someone to motivate them to start building those traits? If you are one of those, then let me welcome you and wish you the luck because I'll be explaining the three most powerful traits of optimists to you (which will hopefully motivate you).

1 - They find opportunities, even in severe situations

Optimists believe that for every problem, there is a solution. No matter how difficult the situation is, they usually try to find their mistakes and their solutions. If not, they try to find a way to get out of those situations.

They never deny the importance of little opportunities because small opportunities often open the door to much larger opportunities. At least, that's what I've personally learned in my life. Many times when I've chosen a small opportunity, bigger and better opportunities followed. Embracing a small opportunity gives you experience, and lets you form connections with others. That's one of the most powerful traits of optimists.

2 - They never blame others for their failures

There are many people who nearly always blame others for their failures. They always say "If I didn't take your advice, I would've succeeded" or "You are the reason for my failure." Such people ignore their shortcomings and won't fix their weaknesses simply because "It certainly couldn't be MY fault."

Optimists, on the other hand, embrace the failures with a smile because they know that every failure makes them closer to success. They learn from failings, they welcome criticism, and they listen to the suggestions of people, but never rely on those suggestions alone. They study the matter, make their decision by themselves, and hold on to their decisions firmly. In case of failure, they accept their shortcomings and learn from their mistakes.

3 - They are grateful for anything they have

You know what? It is easy to see the glass as half-empty but it takes courage to admit that half of the glass is still full. Some (or should I say most?) people are always ungrateful for what they have, and their main focus is towards the half-empty part of the glass but little do they ponder on another half of the glass which is actually full.

Optimists look at the people who are lower in status than them and are thankful for the opportunities they have. This perspective keeps their hope alive, gives them confidence, and are more likely to persevere​. Those who are ungrateful often feel like they are somehow broken and that's exactly why they give up.

For instance, if you are suffering from fever, you should know that some people are going through cancer too. This way of thinking will help to make you feel grateful; you'll get the courage to fight the situation, and be thankful for whatever you have.

These three powerful traits of optimistic people play an important role in one's success. If you want to be successful, I think it'd be a good start to develop these traits. Although optimism is beneficial to a certain extent, it's not a be all end all, and there is such a thing as being too optimistic.

And they believe in hard work. Optimists would never shy away from doing hard work.

Great post, @communitycoin. I'd like say, I am an optimist, because I prefer seeing the glass half full. But I do also, acknowledge the alternative of the glass being half empty, and more often than not, I choose to see from this perspect as well.

Let alone just seeing the glass of milk for what it is, is equally as rewarding as it gives a whole new meaning or perspective of looking at life.

Nice view

Amen. It takes hard work everyday to stay positive. Life can through some curves but i think the key is staying centered and open to new opportunities. Wait... Did I read that on a fortune cookie? Maybe but either way it makes a lot sense. Great post! Resteem for sure.

I've been thinking a lot about trying to stamp out pessimism lately. Though it doesn't help when you're surrounded by it, so the challenge is to try and encourage others to be more optimistic.

The power of optimism. These three are very vital indeed.

Whenever something is not working, go find something that would work for you. You can still find something that will fit someone else's criteria

Always keep in mind that what brought you to where you are (good or bad) are the results of your own decision. Learn to face it and accept whatever happens with a straight face and a strong attitude.

The the most important of all the one that I am always applying in my way of life. Being thankful for all the blessing s that has come my way. :)
