Motivation, Simplification, and Love

By John E. Wade II / January 20, 2015 / Comments Off on Motivation, Simplification, and Love

This past November was a huge victory for Republicans, America and the world.  Thank You, dear God. I sincerely believe that the Republican Party should now begin to unite around Governor Scott Walker to run as our 2016 Presidential candidate.  His record for winning difficult elections is proven.  His courage, leadership and innovation are proven.…

Spiritual and intellectual public service and charitable types of achievements are so important to me.  I would like a third wife to accompany me in the great adventure I see ahead for me, but that, of course, is up to her partly and God. I put myself in the arms of our Loving God and…

Starting 2015 with Kindness

By John E. Wade II / January 1, 2015 / Comments Off on Starting 2015 with Kindness

Henry James, American Author (1843-1916), wrote the following, which I keep on my desk: Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind. Kindness to ourselves and others requires self-discipline. We can be—and often are overly—critical to ourselves and…

The goals of improved intelligence and delayed gratification

By John E. Wade II / December 27, 2014 / Comments Off on The goals of improved intelligence and delayed gratification

Self-discipline and delayed gratification are two qualities each of us and all of us have a continuing need to cultivate.  Timing is an important aspect of life.  We—as parents, schools and as a society—must teach each person that delayed gratification is one of the key parts of self-discipline.  Our intelligence is not static.  The more…

As we prepare for a new year…

Awareness of ourselves and others is important.  Socrates said an “unexamined life” is regrettable.  Let all of us examine our life and dedicate it in a serious manner to our calling(s).  If you don’t know your calling(s), let the search go on.  Don’t just exist, be a hero!  We all have that within ourselves.

Brief Message of Real Importance

By John E. Wade II / November 6, 2014 / Comments Off on Brief Message of Real Importance

Our lives are precious journeys and it’s important that we take care of ourselves – our mind, body and “little piece of God,” our family and others.  Our reach as to others need not stop next door or within our locale. Each of us and all of us are world citizens with a degree of…

Love and Joy

By John E. Wade II / August 11, 2014 / Comments Off on Love and Joy

Life at its fullest must encompass a pursuit of maximization of one’s potential.  None of us can actually attain that lofty goal, but trying can bring satisfaction.  Now joy in life needs love, too.  We need to love others and receive love from others.  Those who are most fortunate achieve lasting romantic love.

Navigating toward the Wisdom-Associated Values and away from the Negative Values

By John E. Wade II / August 6, 2014 / Comments Off on Navigating toward the Wisdom-Associated Values and away from the Negative Values

We either navigate the Innovation Age with the wisdom-associated values while learning to shun the negative values or America and the world are going to suffer greatly.  At least in America, we still have a stable and robust democracy (while not prosperous) and, as Abraham Lincoln stated, “The ballot is stronger than the bullet.” There…

Some Thoughts on Truthful Living

By John E. Wade II / July 28, 2014 / Comments Off on Some Thoughts on Truthful Living

We must be ourselves, so it is much better to choose to be who we are – trying to be better all the time.  Throughout our lives trying, trying, and trying is so much an integral part of life, especially in that important part of attaining a measure of wisdom. None of us – I’ll…
