Positive psychology proposes a change from an approach focused on pathology, illness, and negative emotions, to strengths, virtues, and positive emotions, as well as numerous constructs related to the well-being of individuals. The objective of this work is to develop the optimism construct and how it is related to adolescents' ability to overcome adverse situations, that is, resilience. Although the search has been difficult, the interest in these topics from Positive Psychology and its impact on mental health is increasing. From the articles studied, it is shown that optimism has a significant influence on the resilience of adolescents. Those adolescents who present themselves as optimistic will have a resilient personality, which could be a factor that protects them from the adversities that can occur at this very special stage of their development. Optimism, in turn, can be developed like any other human strength, which would also be reflected in the future in one's own resilience.
