How do you deal with the outside when you donโ€™t feel right on the inside? It may seem like a simple question, but have you ever asked it? Have you ever tried to solve a problem without defining what the problem is? A large part of my self-healing journey had to do with figuring out who I am and dealing with me. Most of the tools needed to live the life you were meant to live are found within you. You may not realize it, but very often it takes looking within to live a courageous life.

For the great majority of my life I had no interest in politics. It was not until after 9/11 that I had any interest whatsoever in anything any politician had to say. The only thing about politics I was certain of was that I didn’t want anything to do with politics. For many that I knew, their stories were similar. In the past decade, or decade and a half, that has steadily been changing. People across the political spectrum are becoming more entrenched in their political beliefs, maybe overconfident in their beliefs, and allowing their political beliefs to become part of their core identities. For some, lines have been drawn and their political rivals are now thought of as enemies. I believe though, the question must be asked; are our political rivals as bad as we think they are?

A short time back I came across a fascinating article when searching topics for the podcast. It was a great bonus when I discovered the organization Braver Angels was mentioned in the article. I knew immediately that the author of “Your political rivals arenโ€™t as bad as you think โ€“ hereโ€™s how misunderstandings amplify hostility”, found at theConversation.com, was someone who I wanted to speak with.

I’ve said so many times and so many ways, life is less about what is happening to us, but how we react to it that makes the difference. Some will look at a field full of beautiful flowers and focus on the weed, while others can look over a field of weeds and pick out the one beautiful flower. How is it that one person who’s been bombarded with life’s challenges can be happy while others who’ve been given so much, struggle with misery and depression. Much of this my friends boils down to gratitude. My guest this week understands this very well, because he carries a mother’s legacy; Live a Life of Gratitude.

Sammy is a US veteran and has been married for over 20 years to Janet, his high school sweetheart. Together they have 3 amazing children and 3 beautiful grand-babies. During the early months of the pandemic, Sammy, like many did, found him self with some involuntary spare time. He took to watching the news, but the ugliness of all the doom and gloom put him in a place mentally he didn’t want to be. Sammy dove into a couple things he loved, making videos and Dad jokes. That was just the beginning.

Everyone has a story. Our unique experiences in life is what makes up our story. How we deal with adversity can often make the difference in whether something turns out very bad, or for the good, not just for yourself, but for many others. Do you look at a mistake and see an opportunity? Do you look for an opportunity to learn in all situations? Leaders are those who seek answers and solutions to problems instead of ways to shirk accountability when things go sideways. Mindset can make the difference between things going very badly, or obtaining wisdom. This is especially true in the story of this week’s guest. In the case of his particular story, mindset matters when locked up abroad.

I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase, in some fashion or another, that is derived from Matthew 7: 15-20. It’s not an exact quote, but the meaning is so very true. What is more important that we can do in this world than to leave good humans to follow up where we left off? We as individuals have a responsibility to be good people. If we choose to have children, it is then our responsibility to make them good humans too. Human nature is not “inherently good”, so it is our responsibility to guide our children in the ways of goodness. Are you good? What would your children say? You shall be known by the fruit you bear.

I’ve said it time and time again on this podcast, we have a moral obligation to be happy! Friends, smiles and bad moods are contagious, so we owe it to those around us to put in the effort to be happy people. If you are not happy, it is up to you to change it. As my guest this week, Amir Siddiqui put it, “change is inevitable, growth is a choice”. Sometimes it takes a little growth to become the happy you that you should be. Just remember, happiness is a journey, not a destination.
