“Send Coach John a message”

Once again, Coach Ray Ostrowski (@CoachRayO3313) comes through with a gem for all of us. His intro to his Quote of the Day is this: “If your dream is to become something special, the road can be humbling from time to time. Stay the course, remain persistent and face the storm - No time for PTP’s” The quote he shared with his students and players - I feel awesome to see the same thoughts and lessons he’s sharing with them… is this: “Sacrifice & Discipline” - “The greatest things in life take sacrifice and discipline, that’s why very few achieve great things. People create their own storms but get mad when it rains. If your dream is to become something special, the road is humbling. If you’re not prepared for that, don’t chase the dream.” ~ Lewis Caralla. WOW… love this thought of how we do indeed create our own storms at times in our lives. I know I do for sure. Not only do I complain about it raining from the storms I caused - but I’m also getting upset or blaming others for not even having an umbrella!!! I for sure need to keep working on the discipline and sacrifice for doing the things I need to do and to keep focusing more throughout my days!! You too I hope? Thanks for listening.

I found a new connection to thought-provoking things. It comes from Jeff Moore (@JeffMoore__) and on FB: (JeffMooreEP) who shared this golden gem: “Your inner voice becomes the atmosphere you live in every day. Make it honest, encouraging, and worthy of someone you care about. Keep going.” What a powerful thought that I have not seen put into these terms. His post that went along with his thoughts were “Talking to yourself like you respect yourself is a game changer. Keep Going.” Love this!! I do have an atmosphere that I have around me all the time and I’m realizing that I have the ability to have more control over my atmosphere around me. It’s one of many things to keep looking to get better at. Hope this helps you too!! Thanks for listening.

Another powerful item to take some time to get connected to - this one comes from the great Zig Ziglar (@TheZigZiglar) and he shares this reflection: “Good habits reduce the number of times you have to rely on motivation or willpower. When discipline, preparation, integrity, and responsibility become part of your daily life, making the right choice begins to feel more natural. The decisions you practice today prepare you for the challenges you will face tomorrow. Build habits that support the person you want to become.” WOW… just reading this again helps me to get fired up for not only my day, but my next moment that I have to do something. I need to connect with this every morning to help my day go in a great direction. The quote that came with this was this: “The right habits make difficult decisions easier before they arrive.” Remember, our good habits won’t mean we will never have problems. It means that we will have a better chance to get through the troubles, than if we had bad habits. Keep working on these my friends. Remember, life is an inside job!! Do yourself another favor - find all that you can from Zig and spend some time sinking into his messages and connecting with them. Talk about some good habits!! Thanks for listening.

I am continuing the international connection with good things to share to help all of us out a bit in our lives and this one comes from Gregg Vanourek (@gvanourek) where this deep quote was shared: “The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.” -Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov. Now I know I must apologize for my brutal attempt to say these names correctly, but I do appreciate the fact that I found this post along with attempting to say the names right. I’m learning things for sure. But what a powerful thought here. Yes, we all want to stay alive and do the things necessary to keep things that way for as long as we can. This also got me reflecting on finding things to live for!! I have been blessed to have a few things that inspire and encourage me to keep looking to do better and do more. I am hoping that you can deeply connect with this and think about and connect with your things that you want to strive to live for!! Awesome and powerful for us to connect to this one for sure. I hope it helps. Again, big shout out to my friend Denyse from Canada for her encouragement and positive feedback she always has for me. She’s a true difference maker for me and so many others!

I found an international connection to something great to connect with and it came from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) which shared this: “Kaizen: A Japanese concept of improving continuously. Kaizen is a Japanese concept of continuous improvement through small, consistent steps. It emphasizes patience, discipline, and steady progress over sudden change. Rather than seeking perfection overnight, Kaizen is about getting a little better each day.” WOW - what a great game plan of life! It got me thinking about also slowing down the “baby steps” of messing up and going backwards. Catching it sooner and then making a choice or decision to change directions to get going forward again. Remember, Motivation is an inside job and so is self improvement and personal development. Keep it up my friends. Keep finding those small steps that work for you and keep doing them along with being open to new ones too. Thanks for listening.

I found an amazing post from Kylie Riordan (@mindfulheal) where she shared this: “Three things will always bring peace: Gratitude for what you have, acceptance of what you cannot change, and hope for what’s yet to come.” Amazing and powerful reminders for all of us. These really got me thinking about many things that are going on in my life now and for me to keep striving to find more peace. This really does help and I hope it helps you too.

I found an incredibly powerful post from Jim Rohn Official (@OfficialJimRohn) “Jim Rohn: nobody is coming to develop you. That’s your job. Owning your growth is the first act of personal responsibility.” There was an article link about this - found HERE. This was the beginning of that article: The Starting Point of All Achievement - Somebody asked me once — this was at a seminar in Phoenix — they said, "Jim, what's the first step to becoming successful?" I said, "Take ownership." They said, "Ownership of what?" I said, "Everything." Now, I didn't mean you have to buy everything. I meant you have to own your situation. Your decisions. Your results. Your growth. All of it. See, most people are waiting. Waiting for the economy to improve. Waiting for their boss to notice them. Waiting for the right moment. Waiting for someone to come along and fix what's broken. And while they're waiting, life is passing. Here's a phrase I want you to write down. It changed my life when Mr. Shoaff first shared it with me. “You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself.” That's it. That's the whole thing. You can't control what happens to you, but you can control what you do about it. And what you do about it — that's where your growth begins.” Also a big shout out to a former student of mine, Vance who also had a help in me learning and being reminded of some very important life lessons today. I love being “taught” by former students (and current ones when I was teaching, because it happened all the time!) Being a life-long learner is something Jim Rohn was all about and I’m trying to remember that for me and my life. Thanks for listening.

I came across an incredible post from Book Therapy (@Book_therapy223) that reminded all of us to “Live Like a River.” It’s a long post that has many things for each of us to focus on. With that, I put it into the show notes as I also read it on this episode recording. This is a powerful reminder for all of us to not only keep going in the face of challenging times and events, but also to keep smiling. Stay positive. Keep moving forward. Keep looking to have the mindset of whatever it takes. Always remember you are worth it. Keep improving and believing in yourself. Here is the post: Today, I’m going to talk about the importance of living like a river. A river never flows backward. It keeps moving forward, finding new paths around rocks and obstacles until it reaches its destination. Our lives should be the same. We all have mistakes, disappointments, and painful memories from the past. We may have failed an exam, lost an opportunity, or made decisions we wish we could change. However, constantly looking back will only prevent us from moving forward. Although we should learn valuable lessons from our past experiences, we should not allow them to control our future. Every new day is a fresh opportunity to grow, improve, and become a better person. Like a river, we must continue our journey with courage and determination, even when life becomes difficult. There will always be challenges, but every challenge can make us stronger if we face it with a positive attitude. Instead of filling our minds with regret, fear, or negativity, we should focus on our goals and believe that brighter days are ahead. A positive mindset gives us the strength to overcome obstacles and keep moving toward success. Remember, the past cannot be changed, but the future is still in our hands. So, live like a river – keep flowing forward, never give up, and always remain positive.” Thanks for listening.
