I know it's hard to be optimistic if things are tough enough to bring you down. These last two years have been enough to lower my motivation considerably and put me in a depression.

Lately I recalled an Tony Robbins video i watched (i like this guy he had done his homework) and he was talking about what it means to be 'happy'.

What it boiled down to was making progress. If you need to feel optimistic, just do something everyday towards a goal. I find myself taking this approach often. And it does lead to optimism.
