Positive Change in a Socially Distant World Episode 257, October 5, 2021
“Change is a good thing,” says Rick Ornelas, Positive Change Expert, Author, and Founder of I Spark Change.
On this episode of Real Men Feel, guest Rick Ornelas explains the importance of maintaining a positive attitude, looking at life with a glass-half-full mentality, and acknowledging that change is not always a negative thing.
“We are all in constant change and constant growth.” – Rick Ornelas
Rick introduces the positive mindset of learning to adapt, grow and overcome obstacles, even if they are uncontrollables. He preaches about the insignificance of “being right” if it means sacrificing your happiness and the happiness of those around you. Rick also opens up about the inspiration behind his book 12 hours of Heaven, in which he tells the story of a terrifying car accident and the touching miracle that accompanied it.
