Radical optimism is one of the most misunderstood spiritual practices – and one of the most powerful. Ken Daigle looks to an unlikely teacher to show us what it really means to seek the good.

From the book, on page 62: “In today’s world, the name Pollyanna is often used as a criticism, a shorthand for someone seen as hopelessly naive or blindly optimistic.”
But that’s not the Pollyanna from the story. If you read the original story, it’s amazing. Pollyanna knows exactly what’s happening to her. And she lives a life that would make most of us pull up the covers and go back to bed. But she perseveres and changes the situations by seeking out the good inherent in every moment.
So that’s what I encourage us to embrace – to embrace the consciousness that seeks good in the middle of crisis, that seeks opportunity in the middle of failure, that seeks the lesson in every situation. For in the midst of things falling apart, they could be actually coming together.
And that is the kind of optimism that changes everything.
Namaste.
In ‘Unapologetic Manifestation,’ Ken reclaims Pollyanna as a model of conscious, eyes-open optimism – not denial, but a trained awareness that looks for what is working, what is possible, and what is emerging, even when everything appears to be falling apart.
