How can one learn to be a realistic optimist?

Realistic optimism is a psychological approach that combines optimism with a realistic understanding of life’s realities. Essentially, it involves dealing with challenges and difficulties in life in a way that acknowledges reality but still believes in the possibility of influencing it and creating positive changes. The principle of realistic optimism is that it does not ignore reality but simultaneously seeks positive options and focuses on opportunities for improvement and progress. It acknowledges the difficulties and challenges but looks at them in a way that seeks ways to cope with them and move forward. Generally, realistic optimism promotes the ability to cope with difficulties constructively and productively, without being overwhelmed by them or ignoring them. It sees reality with open eyes but does not give up hope or belief in the ability to improve the situation and influence the outcome positively.
