“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. 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. Tune into this week's episode of Real Men Feel for a conversation with Rick Ornelas about embracing positive change. Learn about the importance of allowing change into your life, accepting your emotional side and the balance between being right and being happy.

Change is a good thing.” (03:56-04:09 | Rick Ornelas) • “We are designed to respond to negative stimulus far quicker than to positive stimulus.” (07:40-07:50 | Rick Ornelas) • “If [life] was flat, it'd be boring. Like, who wants to go on a flat rollercoaster? It'd be so slow and there wouldn't be any excitement.” (17:06-17:15) | Rick Ornelas) • “All men were wearing the thickest, fakest mask long before the pandemic.” (28:45-29:55 | Andy Grant) • “There are people that are working to make the world better.” (39:08-39:11 | Rick Ornelas) • “Men can be vulnerable and they can be authentic”.

This week I am joined by Rick Ornelas, founder of 'I Spark Change' and author of '12 Hours of Heaven: Lessons for a Better World.' His passion is to serve people and he has been focused on guiding others through self-improvement for many years. Last year, while working to remain in a healthy space himself, he birthed 'I Spark Change' to bring about a way for people to connect and collaborate in creating positive change in our world. Twenty years ago, from a horrible car accident he and his family miraculously escaped, he began a journey of personal growth and transformation. He worked on himself, his listening and communicating with others, as well as coaching businesses and people to experience their own development. Join me as Rick shares about the path the accident set him on, the way '12 Hours of Change' first came about and his heart for creating 'I Spark Change.'

I asked Rick… If you had a megaphone powerful and loud enough to get your message across the entire world, what would be two pieces of advice you'd give the world?  You'll want to hear his response… :) Connect With Us: Isparkchange.com @isparkchange + Collectively Real Podcast @Saleena.Jusitne Ask Anonymously

Sometimes we feel like we are not able to truly make a difference as just one person. Then, we just give up or move on saying, "the larger, more powerful groups or entities will make the difference - I'm just not significant enough."  But we ARE powerful enough to make a positive change in this world! Our guest for this episode helps us identify the many ways we can be a catalyst for change.

Rick Ornelas is on the show today to tell his story of bouncing back from a dark spot, to spring in to the most positive time in his life! As with many folks, 2020 was a tumultuous year - the start of 2020 was the same for Rick. He was laid off, in quarantine and feeling desperate. ..That is when he decided to act on writing a book he had had as an idea for close to a year, and when he did - a very positive shift started to happen in his life. '12 Hours of Heaven' was the book that came out of this time period, but the book was coupled with a much broader idea : 'I Spark Change'. isparkchange.com was started shortly after the publication of '12HoH' - it is an online community for those who seek to make the world a better place, on act at a time. We talk about the dark parts that led to the book, the book leading into the ISC community..the current state of I Spark Change, as well as its future plans.. and then we end the conversation with some excellent habits and hacks for creating a better, healthier day for yourself! Great conversation here, great guest..we definitely look forward to having Rick back on in the future! https://isparkchange.com https://www.amazon.com/12-Hours-Heaven-Rick-Ornelas-ebook/dp/B08KP8NDT4
