 Be A Positive Information Exchange - PIE... Oscar Wilde, an Irish playwright, poet, and author, is often quoted as saying... “Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.”
If you don’t know the answer to this question, you might be in denial… or the answer could be along the lines of “You cause happiness whenever you go.” Beginning today, you can change everything. How? Simply become a positive information exchange! How? Make it your specific mission to share only the best possible news with your friends, family, and anyone else who has the pleasure of sharing the same intersection of space and time with you. Why do this? The world is filled with negative people, nasty news, and not-so-good stories about life. Every time you see another person, you have an opportunity to literally change their world. So if you really want to find happiness, create it at every single opportunity… no matter where you are or whom you’re with. There, you will find it. When presented with the simple advice to “give happiness,” many people say they are afraid of what other people might say, think, or do. Such concerns are made up of a made-up thing called fear. And the best way to deal with fear is with another made-up entity called faith. Everything in life requires faith. This small statement of truth is profound on a level that most people simply do not understand. Every single act that you do daily… is an act of faith. We have faith the sun will rise next Tuesday. We have faith that the grocery store will be open… especially when we need that store to be open. We have faith that our cousins, brothers, sisters, and all our other relatives will grow old with us. We have faith that the government will be intact when the worst possible things occur. We have faith that our personal interpretation of the facts is an accurate representation of reality. And, in one way or another, we have faith that the worst-case scenario (whatever it is) will either…
Indeed, everything in life requires faith. No matter what has happened; no matter what will happen, our situation is not an end, but rather a whole new beginning. And with a little (more) faith and a (lot more) focus on the positive aspects of life, we can achieve the best, most awesome, wonderful thing in the world. We can achieve something called The Ideal. But first, we must choose to accept one simple methodology for life. We must choose to…  John H. Clark III is an optimistic realist. He 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. He reminds us all that...  |
