It is always interesting as you “grow-up” and remember some of the special learning points shared by your parents.  One of the main directives that came from my Mom was:  “If you don’t have something good to say about someone or something… don’t say anything at all”.  I will bet a lot of readers of this TRIPLE III TIME message can remember this or some similar quote from a family leader… right?!

Well today before I get into the real important parts of this blog…I think that given our interesting times and multiple options for getting the word out… if we really followed Ma’s suggestion there may be a bit more silence in our world… do you think?!

Ok enough of that…it’s time to stress:  Finding The GOOD!

Today with our tremendous worldly expansion of communication methods and styles… it is very difficult to accurately see the various sides to every issue.  Example issue impactors may be geographic location, past experiences, local finances, regional culture, religious concerns, population ages, political beliefs… and possible a whole lot more.  The result is that only YOU personally and professionally become the key to make it a standard practice to reflect on ALL sides of particular problems/issues or actions and in so doing:  Finding The GOOD!

I will not deny that often it is very challenging to achieve Finding The GOOD! in many situations. But today let’s think about trying a few common sense TRIPLE III TIME suggestions:

• Take time to “see” a bigger picture.
• Use patience as a professional tool to see more of the situation.
• Be ready to see a view you did not think existed.
• Research other sources that you may not have used before.
• Don’t allow someone else’s short timeframes to be your only timeframes.
• Finally don’t be afraid to JUST SAY “IT”:  Possibly your “authenticity” when purposefully Finding The GOOD may be just what people need to hear.

Let me know how it works!
