“Send Coach John a message”

I truly enjoy seeking new ideas, new ways of inspiration, new lessons, new people, etc., all with the idea of self improvement & personal development. Each and every day I CHOOSE to seek things out and learn from them. I then try to share some of them with you, my awesome listeners - where we both get to find new ways to keep growing and being the best versions of ourselves. This one comes from Dear Self (@Dearme2_) and the message is to “Focus on the future. Today’s reminder: Only put energy into things you have a future with.” There are so many things to put our energy into today, but it’s not all good for us. I continue to learn that I don’t have endless energy to waste on things and people, that don’t help me grow into the person I want to be and have the life that is worth having. Distractions have always gotten me to waste time that I shouldn’t throw away. I need to make time for the things that matter (like Abel Sanchez reminded me in our talk). Take this message to heart and see where you can focus your energy in the areas you want to. Our time can’t be wasted and then we expect to be in a better place in life when we do choose to spend it that way. Thanks for listening.

I was listening to my friend John O’Leary’s podcast today - his Monday Moments - and it was all about having new perspectives. I hope you want to check it out - find it HERE. The new perspectives come from lessons from the four astronauts that recently came back to earth from the Artemis II mission. John goes through some awesome and powerful lessons from this incredible trip to space. These lessons can encourage us in so many ways to remind us of how special being alive is really something to connect with. This ties into recent conversations with John O’Leary and guests from his monthly online zoom session that he had yesterday. Check out his entire website so you too can get connected to not only his great content, but also - Click HERE. Also there are connections to my chat I had with my former student Abel Sanchez - that chat will be coming out this coming Sunday. But our chat had a lot to do with how amazing life can be and things to connect with making it better. Great stuff all around us my friends. Just connect with it and pull what you need to make your life just a bit better. Thanks for listening.

Found an amazing reminder from Motivational Quotes (@motivational) and it’s all about telling us again to have a calm mind. “Stress tricks you into thinking everything’s urgent. Breathe. Things are solved with a calm mind.” Simple thought for this one - as it comes out a day late - I needed this on Monday. Stuff going on, not horrible… just stuff to deal with. This helped me. I hope it helps you. Thanks for listening.

I found this great post from Art of Thinking (@Art0fThinking) with the help of Snoopy (from the Peanuts cartoon). These 6 habits of happy people are things we should all strive for. They are: Don’t Show Off, Talk Less, Learn Daily, Help Less Fortunate, Laugh More and Ignore Nonsense. Each and every one of these are things we can always strive to connect with more and more in our lives. There are many things that go with each of these as I share just a few of each. I hope to take these with me each and every day! Thanks for listening.

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.

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.

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.
