HOW TO LEARN SPIRITUAL OPTIMISM / HOW TO BE A SPIRITUAL OPTIMIST

Possibly the number one secret of spiritual happiness is to be an optimist.   Once you've attained true optimism, you will be spiritually happy, because you'll have absolute trust and faith.   Optimism ultimately boils down to an absolute trust that everything is always, ultimately fine.  

One way to create optimism is by interpreting events and circumstances through a positive worldview.   This doesn't mean that we'll always to be able to come up with every possible positive explanation for each event in our lives.   After all, every point of energy in this massive universe is a universe in and of itself.   Life is big, big, big -- as the ancient scriptures say, bigger than the biggest. 

A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; 
an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.

- Sir Winston Churchill
