P3 stands for the power of three, which is defined as the combined strength of three points. And that strength increases the impact of each exponentially. So, with the P3 app, every day, you'll make three little improvements. That’s it! Create three tiny changes in what you do or say.
A friend was suffering. He was in a bad place and believed he was powerless to improve the situation. He didn’t feel good about himself and couldn’t wrap his mind around how to make it better. Although we are all responsible for our own actions and reactions, it was understandable and evident how helpless he felt. (This happens to all of us. We all struggle.)
Enter the power of three. What if he did just three little things that day to help him feel better about himself? He couldn’t vastly improve his situation overnight – none of us really can, barring a miracle – but certainly, there were a handful of small steps he could take, or changes he could make, for a positive dent.
Applying the power of three to his situation, those little improvements would mean he made progress that day, and again the next day, and the next. And any day you can make progress is a good day, right? It’s exponentially better than doing nothing. The power of three delivers built-in, guaranteed, compounding improvement. You are never powerless when you use the power of three.
Here in the U.S. (and in many other areas of the world), we are in a state of unrest like we’ve never known in most of our lifetimes. We are subjected to an unending barrage of negativity.
Our political, social, mental health, educational, and environmental situations are troublesome. We have crises so large that it’s difficult to know what we can do to improve them. We recognize there are problems, but most of us are so caught up in the day-to-day that we struggle to keep peace in our own piece of this world.
That’s where the power of three takes flight. Every day, make three small positive changes or shifts in your normal routine. You don’t have to tell anyone, or you can tell EVERYONE! Your initiatives may spark ideas and inspire others… and that’s the power of three. It’s the power of we. It’s exponential.
There are so many little decisions we make every day. What if we all think about our choices (run the yellow light or stop?) and decide to make the best ones? After a while, doing better will become automatic. Think →, act →, change. It's never too early or too late. Nothing is too small or too great.
You may set goals (1. Do a random act of kindness, 2. Walk with a coworker over lunch, 3. Clear the sidewalk in front of the house), or you may just go about your day and make minor shifts based on what the universe throws at you (1. I shooed a honey-producing bee away instead of swatting it, 2. I picked up a neighbor's trashcan that had tipped over, 3. I threw a dollar into the kid's fundraising bucket). However, you choose to approach the power of three, which is the right way because it's making improvements. You can mark your goals, profile, and positive posts as public, private, or posse (your connections). What you share is entirely up to you! Tall or small, strategic or spontaneous... good is good. Here are some examples of positive shifts you might make:
What if you're feeling ill, down, or unmotivated? That may actually be when the power of three can help most. The power of three provides a direct path to accomplishments on days when they might otherwise be rare. All positive shifts add up to progress, even when they're minuscule milestones. Have a bug?
Everything.
There are opportunities for doing better everywhere! P3 helps you discover and harness them… for GOOD.
Kids - At home and in schools, they are taught that they are empowered and able to improve their lives and their world. They will grow up with a greater understanding and value of themselves, others, and their surroundings.
Teams and businesses - Tap P3 to work together toward common goals. Assign everyone three initiatives. Report on progress at each meeting. Then, assign three more. Tangible, trackable results will be right here in P3 for your team to follow.
Groups and charitable organizations - When you record your initiatives here in P3, your donors, supporters, and other interested parties will have clear and measurable insights into the difference you’re making in support of your mission.
Personal objectives - Start on a clear path toward something you've always wanted to do or master. Whether you want to learn how to invest, speak Mandarin, or what it takes to run a marathon, lofty goals seem less so when you chip away each day.
Families and friends - Get everyone involved in something you want to achieve together! Save for a group trip to deepen bonds, work as a pack toward a wellness goal, or challenge each other to complete random acts of kindness. Today’s generations can work together to benefit future generations.
We can all benefit from each other’s positive actions. Improve your life. Help others improve theirs. Improve the world. It’s a simple equation. Now, let’s go do better. Be better. Make better.
