bright disposition
Naturally optimistic outlook
A bright disposition is a naturally cheerful, optimistic temperament.
Someone with a bright disposition tends toward good humor and positive outlook rather than gloom or irritability: Despite everything she'd been through, she maintained a bright disposition.
The phrase suggests this cheerfulness is a stable trait, not a passing mood.
