Practical Optimism - Insights From a Motivational Speaker

How To Be An Optimist

I’m an unapologetic optimist: I see past the money to be made in telling people things are bad.

I live through practical optimism.

It starts with the words I use:
I say obstacle not barrier 
I answer comments ‘Yes and…’

I’m invested in risky play: strong kids make stronger leaders make strongest societies

Placed physical time capsules in the walls of my house to surprise and delight random strangers sometime in the future.

When filming I don’t ask permission. I beg forgiveness later.

I’m staunchly anti-Machiavellian: my future is lighter and brighter when I don’t have to worry about lies catching up with me

I don’t live in past. I live in the future but trying really hard to learn to live in the present.
