Hope Fuels Action; Optimism Can Breed Complacency

Understanding the distinction between optimism and hope is crucial.

While optimists may relax, believing everything will be okay, hopeful individuals proactively envision and pursue pathways toward their desired future. As hope is more action-oriented and practical, it correlates more closely with happiness and goal attainment than optimism does.
