Optimism Comes from Within: Alan Stevens
"What makes me Optimistic, and what makes me feel optimistic? That all comes from within – the person I have become because of my experiences."
That's what Alan Stevens told me when I asked him what makes him optimistic and what makes him feel optimistic.
Alan Stevens is an International Profiling and Communications Specialist and Creator and Host of The Campfire Project and the #WeTogether initiative.
Alan told me, "What makes me optimistic is that there is always more to learn, and from what we next learn, our lives open up with more options and opportunities. I live by the code that “the most important thing I will ever learn is the next thing I learn after I think I know everything." (A quote from John Wooten of UCLA)
"As you know, I created the #wetogether initiative – The Campfire Project- and am a Director of The Business Of Smiles. So yes, a smile always cheers me up.
"What makes me Optimistic, and what makes me feel optimistic? That all comes from within – the person I have become because of my experiences.
"Did I enjoy them at the time? Many not so much, but what I learnt from them has moulded my life and who I am today,
"And I get feedback daily from all of the people around me."
