Your Ideal Roadmap – Part 2

---

Aloha ~

Building on my previous post, today's post is far simpler.

​In fact, it's just a list.

On our journey in life, it helps if we accept a few Truths about life...

1. ​For the most part, we all want the same things.
2. There is only ONE magic formula… 
3. No one seems to know the particular magic formula.
4. If it doesn’t kill you, it could make you stronger.
5. It is not true that “whatever doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.”
6. Forgiveness really does work, but only when it is actually fore-given.
7. Money can cause as many problems as it solves.
8. Your life is measured in time… NOW!
9. (Tomorrow and yesterday don’t really exist)
10. Reality television is not your reality.
11. There is a time for doing it fast, doing it slow, and… perhaps, not doing it at all.
12. I am the most unique person in the world.
13. You are equally unique.
14. I am not perfect… and neither are you (or anyone else).
15. Some people will never appreciate you; get over it.
16. Sooner or later… you will die.
17. When you appreciate something, it appreciates in value.
18. Today, you are alive.  
19. You really should appreciate Life.
20. Live!

Aloha,
John

​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.  His trademarked phrase is a winner:
