In
my lifetime, I have felt the exhilaration of being “the trusted
authority” more than once. As I reflect on those circumstances, I
can see that there was a power and a confidence (and a certain
responsibility) accompanying the Trusted Authority position. It is
exciting to now meet Greg Habstritt, at a time in my life when I
better understand the importance of mentors and coaches and how they
can help direct that power and help me keep the momentum.
I
have attempted to develop a life habit of reading only positive and
uplifting books, and sharing them with those in my personal circles.
Recently, we have decided, as a family group, to share our positive
learnings in a blog called GladCasting University. Whatever my
weaknesses have been over the years, it is critical that my children
learn to change the world by sharing only positive messages and each
becoming Trusted Authorities in Positive Life Experiences. In doing
this, and converting just ten percent of their circles of influence,
they will make an irreversible impact in the world!
Presently,
I am reading Soldiers, Statesmen, and Heroes (Jay A. Parry, 1990). He
shares an awesome example of the concept of The Trusted Authority,
when Congress called upon retired General George Washington to serve
(and lead) the Constitutional Convention. “Few could dispute that
he was the most trusted man in America.”
Our
greatest need as a nation is to produce an entire generation of
Trusted Authorities to resolve and repair our errors of past and
present generations! We need this message to be shared and implanted
in the hearts of our youth!
