822 Optimism is a Superpower

822 Optimism is a Superpower

LIFE IS GOOD.
Being an optimist instead of a pessimist is a choice.
You can wake up each day and focus on what’s wrong.
Or you can choose to be grateful.
Whatever you focus on grows.
So if you are spending your time on things that make you unhappy, they will take over.
But if you can cultivate gratitude, simplicity, and optimism, that’s what your life will become.
Choose happiness.
For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with Bert Jacobs, founder of the Life is Good Company, where he shared a few of his ten Superpowers that are surprisingly simple and timeless.
Bert has appeared on CNN’s Tips from the Top, CNBC’s Business Nation, and The Donny Deutch Show. Life Is Good has been featured in the New York Times, on the cover of Inc Magazine, and on NBC’s The Today Show. Bert is the second youngest of six siblings from Needham, MA. He credits his mother with teaching his brother and him to face the bumps in the road with a smile. The Jacobs brothers see simplicity, humility, and a sense of humor as the three keys to Life is good’s continued success.
Learn how to live a good life the same way your grandfather and your grandfather’s father did in Episode 822.
