Its tough to be an optimist. I have to work at it. If I'm not careful the hum-drum, doom-n-gloom around me can, and sometimes does, bring me down. I have never really been a pessimist. I have wallowed in pessimism before, but never really made a home there, I discovered that being a pessimist takes too much energy. I have to work at it. Being a optimist is so much easier, takes less energy, and is more fun.
Sometimes, I think people look at my optimism as being lazy, or they think that, in reality, I don't care. Those are both fallacies. I do in fact care and I'm not lazy. The last few weeks on the job front were tough for me, but I kept telling myself that there was a reason for all the things that didn't go my way. I believe that wholeheartedly. I'm sure that I'll look back on the last months in the future and say "yep, that's why such and such didn't happen. Thank God for that..."
It is easier to be an optimist.

I'm gemini. I lie to myself about things I don't know about. But I suppose optimism could be worth a turn.
I'm glad you think it's easier. 'Cause I have a tough time with it.
