Reading the new book from Mitch Albom called “Twice” (click HERE for the book info.) It gets us thinking about what if we got second chances to do things over? But we would have to live with that new choice. Also, it can be used for Love either. So many thoughts here that this is helping to see things in my life just a bit differently. I understand that what I have in my life, I would not risk changing things in my past to have what I have today. It’s also taught me a little bit, that a...
I saw something recently that gave me a motivational lift along with a reminder too. This comes from UpSkillYourLife (@UpSkillYourLife) and it’s this: “Forget your age. If you have dreams to achieve, you are still young.” I do have dreams to achieve - still!! I also think of my current age and I am reminded through this post and other things, that yes I am still young. I’m still that 15 year old boy that I was 44 years ago with dreams and thoughts of a future that I could not touch yet....
Found a post from Overmind (@overmind01) where a very simple statement got me thinking about a few things. The post was this: “Education isn’t for employment. Education is for enlightenment.” A key point that I always made to my students was that education happens all throughout our lives. Education was not meant (in my opinion) simply to help us get a job. It’s for living our best lives and we need to realize that we can keep learning from reading, watching, listening, etc. Also tied i...
I was on the road again - nothing big, just a grocery pickup and I was listening to The Daily Coach Podcast - Getting Comfortable With Failure. It was another of so many incredible sources of hearing stories from people who have been through failure, rejection, tough times, tragedy, etc. My connection point today is for all of us to find those sources of lessons that we can learn from. It certainly doesn’t have to be the same source for all of us. Just keep learning & keep get...
Now, this post that I saw from Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) is all about raising our standards, but when I saw it - I knew this post was directly pointing at me. I don’t want you getting offended by the title. I’ll use something else in my thoughts about these thoughts in this episode. But, it is easy for me to see that this is a formula for me to get things better in my life and I hope you can take a few things from it to add value to your life. Face it, we all have standards for ourselves...
Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) comes through with another reflection for all of us. “A reminder: Your life is nothing but a reflection of how you spend your time.” WOW!! Talk about an eye-opening thought, especially when you read this while looking in the mirror!! If we don’t like things going on in our lives - look how we spend our time! I’ve been reflecting on my life … wow.. Now that I think about it… ever since I can remember. All this reflection and I don’t think I’ve thoug...
I connected with someone new recently when I saw this post from Gary Hensel (@gary_hensel) and it’s a powerful reminder for all of us. We can all have this superpower, in fact we already have it. But if you are like me, I need to have it a bit more often everyday and that’s exactly what I plan on doing. This thought here means a lot: “Calmness is a superpower. The ability to not overreact or take things personally keeps your mind clear and your heart at peace.” ~ Idil Ahmed In tod...
I was listening to a podcast from “The Burn Podcast” by Ben Newman where he was having a fabulous conversation with Inky Johnson — the same Inky that I keep leaning on in so many of my episodes. Listen to it HERE. We are reminded about Inky’s career-ending injury and how it changed his entire life. This helped to remind me how humility, discipline (it’s been a recurring lesson lately), focus and he speaks about having a strong faith where he transformed pain into purpose. I ...
Just listened to a fabulous podcast from Ben Rogers and his “Bottom Line” podcast. This episode was called “Tuesday Short: Truckers Block” Find Ben: (@ben_rajas53) BUILD Coaching Company, LLC - buildthearmy.com. The whole premise was connected to author Steve Chandler and his description about what “Trucker’s Block” is all about. “Is there something called Trucker’s Block where a driver wakes up and finds his mood isn’t right for driving today? No. A trucker drives his truck...
I found this quote (from unknown) that said - “I fell in love with this quote: ‘Discipline is remembering who you said you wanted to be.’” This is short, yet so powerful. As soon as I saw it, read it and it sunk in - I was reminded instantly about doing things to help make myself be better in order to not only go after the things I want to do in my life, but also to help those that I love be their best too! Let this quote sink into your heart and then see what you are feeling &...
I found an interesting post that got me thinking a little bit where Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) showed this image of glass where there was a line in the middle. Above the line, it said “People who wonder whether the glass is half empty or half full, miss the point.” On the bottom half of the glass, it says “The glass is refillable.” I’ve always been a self-described “glass half full” kind of guy. What I guess I was missing was the fact that the glass (my glass, my life, me, etc...
Found a great reminder Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard) where this thought was shared: “The quickest way to succeed is to start now and figure it out as you go. You can’t learn how to drive in a parked car.” So many thoughts came to mind when I saw this. I think it’s easy to imagine sitting in a parked car, sitting on a bike, on a skateboard, a motor cycle, etc., and it’s not going anywhere. Or maybe it’s not even running or turned on. When it comes to acting on ideas or projects, starting to mo...
I found one of the simplest pieces of advice that I need help with and maybe others need this too. From Overmind (@overmind01) this thought is shared: “Don’t blame the distractions, improve your focus.” There are so many distractions in the world and in front of us, now more than ever before it seems. As stated in this episode, I clicked on a “distraction” right before I hit the record button. My focus is something that not only do I need to work on improving, I’m the only one tha...
As if I needed another rule to follow. This one is something you will want to connect with I think and it’s not that difficult to understand. From Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) where this is shared: “The Rule of 100 - If you spend 100 hours a year in any discipline, (which is only 18 minutes a day), you’ll be better than 95% of the world in that discipline. Consistency is everything.” This is something that anyone can connect to any discipline or more than one discipline. Just ...
It always seems, sad as it is, that we humans tend to not only learn lessons from others more so when they are gone, but humans have a sad track record, that looking back throughout history - we don’t learn these lessons too well. Now of course this does not mean every single human being throughout history - tons of great people for sure that know and live these lessons. One of the best was Jane Goodall (look her up) and here is a quote from her that really hits home now that she just recentl...
Saw an interesting list from Book Therapy (@Book_therapy223) where they shared these six items. “Discipline is not hard. You just don’t know these secrets: 1) Find your why, 2) Routine is Important, 3) Mindset Matters, 4) Celebrate Small Wins, 5) Visualize, and 6) Reset, Don’t Quit. These items got me thinking about a lot of things that I want to keep working on so that I can be at my best. I keep reminding myself that when I’m at my best - so many other people benefit too. Remember, th...
Today there is no shortage of information out there - the key is to find the good stuff in order to keep getting better. Out of the many things that I listen to so that I can invest in myself, and try to keep the spark going for myself. Tons of stuff for you to connect to, here are three of the many that I lean on. First, John O’Leary! You’ve heard about him many times on my podcasts. Here is his link to his Website. This is a BIG DEAL right here. The movie Soul on Fire - John O’Leary’s...
I came across a couple of great posts that really got me thinking about something we all do and the importance of realizing that there is a ton to learn from this event. What I found from Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) was a great reminder as to what failure is all about. Here it is: “F = Fall, A = Acknowledge, I = Investigate, L = Learn, U = Understand, R = Realign and the E = Evolve”. Some great reminders for us to always connect with, since we all have Failure as part of our everyday lives...
I came across a powerful post from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) where this African Proverb was shared: “No matter how sharp your teeth are, you can’t bite water. Meaning - Each problem comes with its own solution. Take time to understand the nature of the situation before taking action. Powerful thoughts here that I never really thought about before. Chewing water (yes I tried it), gets you nowhere. Chewing water should not be a problem because we don’t need to do it. I do appreciate ...
Found this post that is connected to The Ryder Cup (currently going on at the time of this recording - the USA team has a lot of work to do to get closer to the European team.) But this clip came from DAILY HOVI (@dailyhovi) - where Viktor Hovland says about his plans to just laugh off comments from the crowd while playing the match in New York City (notorious for the jeering of visiting opponents) because they can't be worse than his own thoughts that he has going on in his head....
