Day 7 - Two Little Words - Be Positive

​Greetings from my desk in the Land of Aloha. 
 
I sincerely hope you invested 60 seconds to read my e-note from Day Six, which was the shortest, but perhaps the most important note thus far. 
 
Today, I will share a simple, straightforward fact:
 
Regardless of what life may appear to give to us... It's what WE give that can really make a difference.
 
Today’s note is not quite as brief as the note from Day Six, but today's quick note rings equally true:
 
                    You get what you give.
 
Indeed, we will find positivity where we give it.  

​Accordingly, let's not waste time LOOKING for positivity.

​Instead...
Create it!
 
Live it!
 
Be it!

 
BE POSITIVE! 
Indeed, we are facing a very challenging time in our nation's history.  

​The double-whammy combination of social-economic and health challenges have not happened on this scale since, perhaps, 1918.  Yet, as a community, as a nation, as a UNITED States of America, we can get through it.

Question: Where is the best place to find aloha?

Answer: Anywhere and everywhere you give it.

​Please consider the above Q&A as we look for solutions to our current challenges. 

​​In the meantime, here’s a quick read on what others have to say about "positivity..."

Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.  ~ Zig Ziglar
​
Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things
. ~ Robert Brault
 
If you don’t think every day is a good day, just try missing one
. ~ Cavett Robert
 
A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition.  ~ William Arthur Ward
 
He who has so little knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own disposition will waste his life in fruitless efforts.  ~ Samuel Johnson
 
If you have the will to win, you have achieved half your success; if you don’t, you have achieved half your failure.  ~David Ambrose
 
It isn’t our position but our disposition that makes us happy.  ~ Author Unknown
 
Things turn out best for the people who make the best out of the way things turn out.  ~ Art Linkletter
 
It’s so hard when I have to, and so easy when I want to.  ~ Annie Gottlier
 
Very often a change of self is needed more than a change of scene.  ~ Arthur Christopher Benson

To be upset over what you don’t have is to waste what you do have. ~ Ken S. Keyes

John H. Clark III is an optimistic realist.

Principal consultant at The PIE Group, and Executive Director of TeenBuilding USA, [a non-profit 501c(3)], John believes better development of leaders is what we (all) need.  And to be better organizations, we need more good leaders, not followers. To build better leaders, we must start with the individual (you, she, he, and me).
 
Described as “an innovative leader,” John teaches leaders, organizations, and individuals how to inspire each other. With a bold goal to inspire a worldwide community of optimistic realists who continuously accept, adapt to, and achieve the bold and beautiful concept of The Ideal Life, John is leading a movement to inspire people to apply his trademarked mantra {Accept. Adapt. Achieve! ®}.
 
An innovative business manager and retired naval officer, John is fascinated by leaders and organizations that make the greatest impact within their organizational culture and within the “real” world — people who “get it.” Over the course of his life as a military leader, corporate mentor, and innovative content creator, John has discovered a wealth of insight about how we think, act and communicate within our respective work/life environments. As a career naval officer, mentor, educator, and optimistic realist, he has devoted his life to sharing insights to assist in our quests to become better at what we all do – live @ work!
 
An optimist with a penchant for writing about realistic solutions to the challenges of everyday life, John is the author of 3 books: a leadership-development insider, The Ideal: Your guide to An Ideal Life, a teen-focused guide, Getting Out: Expert Advice for Today’s Teens, and the Christian-based book, God’s Heartbeat: A Powerful Premise for Leading a Christian Life.
 
He delivers a unique and refreshing point of view to life's seemingly overwhelming situations. 
 
Through books, blogs, and everyday conversation, John's message resonates with an empowering blend of ideals that enrich, uplift, and “authorize” people to set and achieve goals far beyond current mindsets.  His trademarked phrase is a winner:
