“Send Coach John a message”

I found an amazingly powerful and emotional post from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) where he shared these thoughts on pain: “Some pain doesn’t break you — it expands you by widening your perspective. It shifts how you see people, softens your judgments & deepens your understanding in ways comfort never could….” The post that he shared about this went like this: “What a strange privilege it is to experience pain. Not because it feels good. It doesn’t. But because it changes the way you see life. It softens you. It humbles you. It makes you notice things you once rushed past. After pain, you value peace more. You value ordinary days more. You value people more. You don’t take laughter lightly. You don’t ignore small blessings. Pain doesn’t destroy you. Sometimes it deepens you.” Yep.. There was a reason why this episode was a bit longer than others. I forgot to mention, I shared my thoughts to Mark on this one and its connection to John O’Leary. This one hit home for me in so many ways. Physical pain, emotional pain, and so many more connections to this powerful and life-changing post. I hope it helps give you some new perspectives on ways to view the things going on in your life. We all need help on our journeys through life.

I found another inspirational post that reminded me about some things that I know I need to put an episode about how important this really is. Greg Berge (@GregBerge) “Don’t lose sight of the people who help you get to where you are.” - Greg McDermott - “No one climbs the mountain alone.” Wow.. I can’t tell you how true this statement is. I have so many people starting with my parents, family, friends, students, coworkers, players, coaches, neighbors, etc. I’m trying to go a bit more out of my way to tell people how grateful I am that they are in my life. When you stop and think about it, nobody gets through life alone. We all have people that have helped us along the way. It’s also true that you have done the same for others too! Always good to keep this fact close to your heart. Thanks for listening.

I found this post this morning from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) where this amazing & eye-opening thought was shared: “I’m in love with this sentence: “Discipline feels boring until you witness what it creates.”” This got my attention real quick and I hope it does the same for you too! There are so many things that I need to have more discipline in my life and I know when I do have it, I do love what it creates! The big thing that got me all choked up during this recording was when I connected it to time! It’s the element that we don’t know how much we have, yet many of us (including me) act as if it is never-ending and / or, we don’t need to worry about it! Well, as I shared in this episode with a couple of examples that came to my mind and heart - it is something that I know I need to apply more discipline to in my life for sure. I hope you take away some powerful things from this episode that you can apply more discipline to in your life to help make your journey even more outstanding!! Thanks for listening.

“Send Coach John a message”

I found an amazing post to start my day out this morning. It came from Coach the Coaches (@WinningCoaches) and it was a picture of John Chaney, an amazing difference-maker for young people and he was a basketball coach. He said - “I always say to my guys, ‘The most important day of your life is today. This very minute is the most important of your life. You must win this minute. You must win this day.” It reminds me that right now, this moment is all that I can have an impact on. When I win the moment now, when I win the day now - it helps with my tomorrows. It also helps the people around me too. Great reminders, great thoughts to think about and take in - all from an amazing basketball coach that helped so many people through the great sport of basketball. Thanks for listening.

I came across this post from Logan Simmons (@CoachLSimmons) where this was shared: “Your “why” is what fuels you. It must be internally motivated. If it’s based on external outcomes, it will fade when you fall short of those outcomes. Your “why” must be bigger than yourself. It should drive you everyday to get better and to overcome all obstacles and adversity.” This is reminding me that I need to continue to tap into my why, my purpose - even though I’m not a teacher / coach right now. It reminds me that we are all way more than the title of our profession / career. This ties into the reminder from the earlier podcast, that we can get through the tough times with help from connecting to our spark in our lives. We have to keep feeding this along with we need to keep tapping into it all throughout life. It helps remind us that the tough moments are indeed worth it. Find your “why” your purpose, your spark and keep investing in it all throughout life!! Thanks for listening.

I found a great post this morning from Inspiration & More (@LifeWithJohn) who fit into my Motivation Monday Game Plan message just perfectly - “You can and will get through hard things. ~ You got this! We are stronger than we think we are. Let's make this our Monday motivation!” I love this reminder! I needed this reminder! Hope you do too. I need to keep feeding into my self-belief about how to keep going to get through tough things. Tough things happen to everyone. It’s one of the main parts of being a human being. There is also this reminder that we can get through them with the right mindset, the connection to our purpose and having great people around us too. I hope this helps you everyday and not just Monday. Remember, motivation is an inside job. Attach it to the meaningful things in your life, and it will be a bit easier to get through the tough times.

Found a powerful reminder for myself that I needed for sure. It comes from Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) “Just because you're struggling doesn’t mean you’re failing.” Listen, we all struggle with things all throughout life. Nobody gets away from this fact. If I can remember to use those struggling times as opportunities for learning lessons, getting better and becoming stronger - good things can happen. To me there are endless opportunities to remind myself of this mindset! How about you? Thanks for listening.

As someone who loves coffee, the “Coffee Bean” book is near and dear to my heart. Found this post from Damon West (@damonwest7) “Integrity isn’t proven in public, it's revealed in private when no one is around. Be the same person either way. That’s how you change the environment.” He’s right on target with this for sure. The picture post that he shared said this: “Anyone can do the right thing when people are looking. Being a Coffee Bean means you do it when no one’s watching. That’s integrity and that’s what transforms the water.” Remember the story about the coffee bean transforming the pot of boiling water. The carrot doesn’t do it, it gets too soft. The egg doesn’t do it either, it gets too hard. Wonderful lessons for all of us. Do yourself a favor and an investment - get a copy of “The Coffee Bean” by Damon West and Jon Gordon. It’s an easy read, and a powerful book for life! Thanks for listening.
