Does optimism and positive thinking really improve life?

 It is easier to feel better for what we do than acting better for what we feel.  Expectations  and positive thoughts have an influence on daily behavior, on real  achievements and advances. Can the positive attitude help to get out of  the crisis?   Are the attitudes negative or positive causes or  consequences?  You can pray whatever you want, but it's best to strive to  make things right. 

 I'm pessimistic because if I thought everything was going to be better, I'd be waiting for it to happen.
