“Send Coach John a message”

I found something that got my attention right away. It’s a post from Bob Starkey (@CoachBobStarkey) where he shares this gem from Maya Angelou: “If you're going to live, leave a legacy. Make a mark on the world that can't be erased.” The size or fame of your legacy I think, doesn’t really matter. The fact that you choose to live a life where you are conscious of your actions, what you do in life towards others and what kind of life you let be the example for the world to see …. That’s what matters. This is something that I have always had in the back of my mind of how my life will be remembered. Now… as I get older, it’s something I know I need to keep doing and keep getting better too. I want to just keep getting better as a human being, a husband, dad, son, brother, friend, uncle, neighbor, etc. Living a life to be proud of - that’s a great thing to go after. Thanks for listening.

Got back into my book that I’m trying to read every day… it’s been a few days where I haven’t kept that promise to myself, but yesterday’s reading was BIG! The book is “Areté” by Brian Johnson and it’s all about being our best. This particular lesson was about 3 Forms of Discipline. He gets this from a guy named Phil Stutz. There is “reactive discipline” where we are triggered by something happening and we choose our form of discipline at that moment. There is also “structural discipline” which is all about our every day habits that keep us going in our choices that we make. Finally, there is “expansive discipline” which is the most challenging of the three. This is the one that really ties into the fact that we have a choice in EVERY SINGLE MOMENT of our lives. If we are looking to become our best, we need to have more moments where we say to ourselves, “bring it on” to having challenging things to deal with and grow from. It comes down to choosing to keep learning and keep growing where we can keep getting better. All three of these help make us who we are along with who we are becoming and the direction to where we are going in our lives. Great stuff!! Thanks for listening.

“Send Coach John a message”

Again… starting my day off doing things to connect with getting fired up over the things that are part of me. Of course I found a few. One was a clip from Merrill Hoge - former NFL player and T.V. Analyst - he was sharing a story when his doctor told him about having cancer. In the midst of going through treatment, when he told his daughters about what he was battling, his 7 year old daughter crawled into his lap and told him something along the lines of “daddy, you better find a way” to get through this and beat it. WOW! I was tearing up when I heard this and it got me thinking about how I need to continue to find a way to deal with the battles that I have. Perfect timing came in other posts that I saw today - as they do every day it seems. But it also comes in the form of friends reaching out, as my friend Denyse sent me a message of thanks & encouragement. My episode recently spoke of connecting with our emotions but not staying there. I needed the reminder of what I said, so I could apply it to myself. Awesome parts of life’s journey come from sources when you are looking for it and when you have good people around you that take it upon themselves to reach out to you (and others) to encourage and lift others up! Wow.. we all need that more and more for sure. Thanks for listening.

“Send Coach John a message”

I found this powerful and perfect reminder in a post from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) where he gives a little introduction: “Anyone else feel this …. Life’s been a little strange lately—a mix of blessings, lessons, and confusion. Some days I’m grateful, some days just tired… but I keep showing up and trusting it’s all aligning.” The post that he shared with his thoughts was this: “Life’s been a little strange lately …. A mix of blessings, lessons and moments that don’t quite make sense yet. Some days I feel deeply grateful, other days I’m just tired, and sometimes I’m simply trying to understand it all. But even when it feels heavy, I keep showing up. I keep moving with trust. Deep down I know that things are aligning for me, even if I can’t fully see it yet. I’m learning to stop questioning the timing, and instead grow through what I don’t understand.” This was something that of course got my attention because I feel that parts of this is what I feel and see going on around me. Lot’s of things going on in life and I’m trying to simplify them to fit what I want my life to be. Life does feel heavy at times and I’m reminding myself to just keep showing up, put in the work for the things I think are important and just keep believing in myself, my wife, my family & loved ones and keep being the best version of myself that I can be. So what about you?? You feeling this too? Thanks for listening.

Out at the gym and listening to Jon Gordon’s podcast and it was all about Worthy Wins. He had a great conversation with John Olinger, listen to it HERE. It really got me thinking about having “worthy wins” every day! They are things that really matter in life. The things that you really want to connect with every day of life. Relationships are really connected to being worthy wins that we can keep working on for sure. Thanks for listening.

I found a simple yet one of the most powerful reminders I’ve had come across my radar and of course, I needed it. It comes from Science girl (@sciencegirl) and she titled her post - “Kindness”. It’s a quote from Robin Williams and here it is: “Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.” The world needs this reminder as much as I do looking at the guy in the mirror. I am always amazed and saddened that some people look at kindness towards others as a weakness or something negative. There are some of those people that tell others that they need to stay away from kindness as others will take advantage of them if they are kind. Well, I’m here to tell you that is not true at all. The people that I see as true leaders and difference makers, know that kindness is something that is important to have in your toolbelt of life! Take this thought from Robin with you and be a difference maker for others when you offer them more kindness. The world needs it for sure. Thanks for listening.

Found another one to share with you today. It comes from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) and it’s titled: “Be your biggest fan…Consistency is harder when no one is clapping for you. You must clap for yourself during those times, you should always be your biggest fan.” This is one thing for sure that I need to keep working on for myself. There are so many times that I get down on myself and if I can create more of a habit of being more of a fan of myself, those down moments won’t last too long. Time to work on my cheers for me.

Stumbled across a fabulous song from Eddie Dalton Music (I suggest you look him up… really good stuff!!) This was shared from a good friend - Coach Bob Johnston called it “my new anthem”. It starts about not being able to move like I used to and that it really does take me a few more moments to get going and do things. Listen to the lyrics a few times through… so much good stuff! Just passing through time, like wind through the pines… wow!!!... that one hit me hard for some reason. I’ve listened to it six or seven times this morning.. Still tearing up about it. Music sure does make a difference in people’s lives! Thanks for listening.
