Optimistic people have it good; they're less
Susceptible to ill health and better able to fight off
Ailments if they strike.

Given that stress and unhappiness can have a
Negative impact on your health, it stands to reason
That happiness resulting from an optimistic attitude
Stands you in good stead.

Instead of looking at the black clouds above, think
About the blue sky beyond them. Instead of seeing
A mountain with an impossible climb, imagine yourself
Already standing on the summit. In the same way
You exercise to build physical strength, keep
Exercising optimism to strengthen it.

Today is your day to start the world over. So make
It a healthy one!
