Do optimists live longer?
Studies show that optimists are healthier, suffer fewer colds and live an average of 7.5 years longer than pessimists. Looking on the bright side plays a huge part in your own destiny which is why optimists are more successful in life and have a higher sense of wellbeing. However, several other studies show that truly happy people are also realists. Achieving your goals is also key to your wellbeing. So you need to set realistic goals.
