The War after the War is a lively military history and overview of Reconstruction that illuminates the new war fought immediately after the American Civil War. This Southern Civil War was distinct from the American Civil War and fought between southerners for control of state governments. In the South, African American and white unionists formed a successful biracial coalition that elected state and local officials. White supremacist insurrectionaries battled with these coalitions and won the Southern Civil War, successfully overthrowing democratically elected governments.

When a group of people gather together to generate ideas for solving a problem or achieving a goal, sometimes the best ideas are passed over. Worse, a problematic suggestion with far less likelihood of success may be selected instead. Why would a group dismiss an option that would be more effective? Leadership and communications expert John Daly has a straightforward answer: It wasn't sold to them as well. If the best idea is yours, how can you increase the chances that it gains the support of the group? In Advocacy: Championing Ideas and Influencing Others, Daly explains in full detail how to transform ideas into practice.

I just came across one of the simplest, yet strongest reminders for life and it came from Mind Essentials (@Mind_Essentials). This simple thought for all of us is: “When you get tired, learn to rest - not quit!” - Banksy. In today’s busy world with so many things going on, it is really easy to keep pushing ourselves. There are moments for sure where we need to pause, take a deep breath, rest and then keep going. In order to be our best, so we can be our best for others and chasing after our dreams and goals; we do need to take moments of recharging so we can feel like we can keep going. ...

Saw a post that got me thinking about what some people call other people crazy, when they look to help others win. This came from Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) “Call me crazy but I love to see people happy and succeeding. Life is a journey, not a competition.” Just imagine - like my good buddy Coach Rich Bowers told me and my leadership students so many years ago, life is all about creating “win - win” types of relationships - and if we had more people looking to create those!! So many people LOVE to criticize, complain, blame, put others down, etc. The world needs less of ...

Found a great connection to today’s message, and it simply came from me going to a doctor’s appointment along with running an errand. I saw the post from Inspiration & More (@LifeWithJohn) where this thought about happiness was shared: “Happiness is not about longing for things that you don't have; true happiness comes from inner peace. It also comes from inner peace. It also comes from appreciating your life and people around you. Happiness is something that you cultivate from within.” -Sangeeta Rana. This really hit home with me and reminded me of the simple fact that happiness ...

Right off the bat when I saw this, I mistook it for someone else and after I recorded this episode, I realized this was not the sports broadcaster that I thought it was. My apologies for mixing this up. Steve Keating (@LeadToday) put this out there: “If you're not making progress then you're probably not making anything else either.” This post got me thinking and connected this to another item I just ran across and that is the podcast from John O’Leary where he interviewed his guest, Kyle Scheele. It’s a powerful episode - liste to it HERE. The main post from Steve was that...

I found a post that fit exactly with what I did yesterday with one of my best friends. From Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_), “Proof the best things in life are free: Sunrises, Sunsets, Hugs, Conversations, Love, Waking Up, Nature, Laughter.” The breakfast that I had with one of my best friends, Scott, got me thinking about the fact that I’ve been through all the items on this list (and more) with him throughout our lives. I’ve also been blessed to have others be a part of this list too. There are so many other things that are free in life - recognizing them along with being lucky enough to ...

Discussions, ideas, commentary, interviews, etc., all dealing with ways of finding bits of success throughout life and try to apply it to the areas we need. We all have different forms of success and we all need the tools to help us do just that in our lives.

We live in an anxious age. Long-held certainties, cherished beliefs, and social trust are crumbling. Don’t expect things to get better. For too long we have taken our Christian heritage—the heritage upon which America was built—for granted. But we’re rapidly, and now inevitably, losing the Christian culture that shaped the American republic. What will take its place is a despotism—and a new paganism, worse than the old, because it will be based on a hatred of Christianity.

Inky Johnson (@inkyjohnson) seems like he’s always been helping others with his life story, his examples, his reflections, etc., and Mac Stephens (@MacStephens) is frequently helping to get Inky’s lessons out for others to see and reflect on.

I hope this helps you too. Thanks for listening. Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also ...

Another awesome post came across my “tele-type” this morning from Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) which reminded me of a few things. This post shared these great thoughts: “Make it a habit to talk about blessings more than burdens. When you spread positivity, the Universe blesses you with even more blessings. Close the window that triggers you, no matter how captivating it is. Be disciplined about what you entertain. Where focus goes, energy flows.” These things on this list screamed at me to keep working on them - for my sake and the sake of everyone that needs me to be my best. I ...
