Are you Stupidly Optimistic?

Is it better to hopeful, optimistic and positive or is it a sig of delusion?

I was speaking into this with a client of mine today, she asked me whether she was stupid for believing in someone close to her. This person has made wrong choices many, many times before in their life and my client was wondering if she was mad, believing in her again?

I love this topic!

My response? The strongest of humans are wildly optimistic. The open their hearts to hope, and in doing so open their hearts. hurt, to failure.  Only the strongest of humans are capable of this. The rest choose the safety of resignation to their circumstances, in case they hope for more and get hurt along the way
