We grow up learning about optimism and pessimism, yet we really do not understand their definition as they relate to how we can thrive in life.

In this episode of Run Toward The Roar, John talks about the real meaning of optimism and how it is so much more than positive thinking. John gives us an analysis of how worry affects us, physically and mentally, as well as an easy-to-drink visualization of what we are focusing on in our minds.
