Found another fabulous post from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) and truthfully, I’m starting to look for his posts more often too. This one came from a few days ago, but I had to share it with you today. He reminded us that “the world doesn’t need you to know everything. The world doesn’t need you to be perfect. The world just needs you to show up and give it your best shot. So lead by example, share your experiences, inspire others with your actions, and never hold your gifts back.” For me, another powerful example is to not hold back in doing what I want to do and that is to make a ...

Queen Marguerite de Navarre was one of the most powerful women of her age. Her masterpiece, The Heptameron, is a collection of some 72 stories told by five gentlemen and five ladies who find themselves stranded in an abbey. Proposed as an edifying way of passing the time while a bridge is being repaired, the tale-telling - as well as the conversations that follow each story - quickly becomes a battle of wits between the sexes, with tales concerning illicit lovers, romantic conquests, lecherous monks, manly honor, and women's virtue.

Found a great reminder - a simple reminder that I know I need and I think the entire world needs too. It comes from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) and the message is: “Being a good person does not depend on your religion, status in life, race, skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how you treat others.” So much of what we see on how some people treat others - it’s a horrible lesson of what not to do. It seems humans have never gotten this lesson right. I, of course, am one of those humans that needs to work on this “skill”, “choices”, ...

Such a simple & totally true message for all of us to remember to just keep going!! Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard) shares this, “No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn’t trying.” - Tony Robbins. Just keep trying!! Don’t quit! Don’t stop! Keep asking for help when we need it. Keep working on yourself to become better. This hit me hard because it’s what I’m trying to do & also, I’m not too worried about those that are not trying as I’m trying to not compare myself to others. I simply need to know ...

This post hit home with me simply because I think we need more people pulling for others rather than hoping that others lose or have troubles. I’m certainly trying to follow what the Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) shares here with this: “Call me crazy but I love to see people happy and succeeding. Life is a journey, not a competition.” To me, this is a good kind of “crazy” to be - encouraging others to win in life compared to being a critic and wanting others to lose. The world needs more people to look at celebrating others, instead of criticizing people. Thanks for ...

Bigtime emotional connection to this post I saw from RelationshipED (@RelationshipEd_) and it’s all about being a safe person. The quote comes from Morgan Richard Olivier. It reminds me of the simple lesson that we all are carrying worries, burdens, hurt, broken hearts, loneliness, pain, etc., and that we need to be better for other people!! We need to be that safe person for others. In today’s world it’s very difficult with the way some people are treating others - there must be those of us to be the example of helping others. We need to be better, my friends. We need to keep ...

I found a powerful poem from a post on Facebook that I wanted to share. It comes from a page called: “I’m going that way.” and this poem has some great reminders for all of us as to even if we are not okay, there are plenty of things that we are worthy of being. The poem brings up a few. I throw some of my own reflections into this and I know you can connect with these ways along with your own too. I mentioned a recent John O’Leary podcast where his guest shares a powerful story that fits into this too. Find the podcast: “A Father Learning to “Walk On” After the Tragic ...

Found some powerful & difference making points of having emotional intelligence. There are 12 of them, so I’m breaking them down into 4 parts. All of this comes from Always Keep Learning (@AlwaysKeepL) and it’s called “12 Real World Signs you're emotionally intelligent”. Emotional Intelligence is a very strong indicator for all of us to have a better life. This fourth and final set of three are recognizing being overwhelmed and stepping back, encouraging others to express emotions, even when it’s hard and the final piece is to let go of grudges and move forward without resentment...

Found some powerful & difference making points of having emotional intelligence. There are 12 of them, so I’m breaking them down into 4 parts. All of this comes from Always Keep Learning (@AlwaysKeepL) and it’s called “12 Real World Signs you're emotionally intelligent”. Emotional Intelligence is a very strong indicator for all of us to have a better life. This third set of three are apologizing sincerely and accepting responsibility for our actions, understanding that bad days don’t define people and navigate uncomfortable conversations with compassion. This will be a great ...

Lessons from a basketball coach, who again, is really an educator - and educators are needed all throughout life. This message is not just for students, but really for all of us. Coach Tom Crean (@TomCrean) says “Students: 1. There is always someone who gets left out. You can be the one to bring them in. 2. Your kindness is strength. Not a weakness. 3. Your own confidence grows when you are helpful to someone else. You brighten someone’s day and it brightens yours too.” Again, I’m seeing these lessons are for all of us. Maybe the world needs to see these lessons as important enough...

Saw a post that for sure spoke right to me and I think there will be a few other people that will feel the same. Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard) posted this reminder - “Control your laziness, and you’ll understand how much success you’ve been avoiding.” Yep… this was for me. I’ve shown various types of laziness throughout my lifetime and I’ve figured out for sure, that because of those choices - success has been avoiding me along with me avoiding it. That time is ending. It’s not gone all the way, but it sure is getting better. Hope this helps you to connect more with ...

Found this post that really was personal - it kind of hurt. You see, I’m holding both hands in the air about having way too many excuses. This is what I said introducing this post: “Very personal.. ouch!! Totally true for me & the guy looking back in the mirror.!!” This all came from Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) and the personal post said - “In six months you will have six months of excuses, or six months of progress. The choice is yours!!” Again, this was speaking right to me. It’s the same message for 6 days or 6 years (or in my case, even longer.) I love the ...

Found a very eye-opening post that hit me - not just because I love basketball, as basketball (sports in general) have nothing to do with this one - but I simply love the term that was used here. I found this from Ball is Psych (@BallisPsych) “Michael Jordan was once asked what he thought his best skill was. He didn’t say it was his ability to dunk from the free throw line or his scoring ability. His answer: “I was coachable. I was a sponge and aggressive to learn.” The easier you are to lead, the further you’ll go.” I see it as being about how we can approach the things in our...

Woke up early this morning as I not only was looking forward to a good cup of coffee to start my day off with, but I was also feeling a little bit worried about things, feeling anxious too. I’m trying to take those things on with more meditation / prayer, along with “doing something” instead of worrying & feeling anxiety. So, I was compelled to get up and do some reading and reflecting. Early mornings are always a joy to me to start my day off in a great direction. Picked up my copy of “Arete” - where this book, written by Brian Johnson, helps me to find and activate my heroic ...

It’s been a little while since I was reminded about some important life lessons from Damon West (@damonwest7) and he reminds us that: “Here are some ways to be a coffee bean and keep your momentum up especially around this time of year! Remember, you are capable of much more than you think.” There are 4 areas he shares about how we can become a Coffee Bean: 1) Fuel your life with purpose, 2) Be humble and hungry, 3) Make life a mission trip and 4) Remember when you succeeded (click HERE for the video on Damon West’s story). This is something each of us can connect with and take ...

Found a great little quote here for all of us to focus on with trying to help others. Art of Thinking (@Art0fThinking) mentions this great reminder: “Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.” - Plato. The world needs more encouragement, even when someone is going slower than what we think they should. Their journey is not ours, remember that. This also goes with any and all conversations that we have with the person staring back at us in the mirror. The world needs more encouragement for sure. Thanks for listening. Please take a few moments to ...

I found a great short reminder about what we can do instead of seeking revenge on someone. This person puts out some great stuff, thanks Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) for this: “A wise man said: Don’t seek revenge. The rotten fruits will fall by themselves.” Those people who are out there causing you problems - just remember, they are causing troubles for others and mainly themselves!! Don’t waste your time trying to get back at them as we all have to remember, they live with themselves!! All the “crap” they are putting out in the world, all comes back to them. We can ...

Found another great reminder that I think many in the world need to remind themselves of, about what is truly impressive. The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) gives us a fantastic reminder. It’s not the money, status, job titles, etc. It really comes down to how we treat others. There seems to be plenty of examples all over the place of how to NOT treat others. It’s too bad there are so many. It’s up to us to try and show others the correct way to do this. The world needs us to step up and do this the right way. Thanks for listening. Please take a few ...

Found another super reminder (maybe it’s just for me) that got me reflecting on some recent events and how I react. Tiny Buddha (@tinybuddha) posts this: ““Life becomes more peaceful when you truly understand and embody the idea that you can’t keep stressing over what’s beyond your control. Life will happen, and people will do and say what they want. All you can do is focus on what you can change and let the rest be.” - @VexKing. This is of course much more difficult than simply reading it and doing it without any issues. I know that I need to keep working on this skill, ...

Found a great connection with a recent post and Mitch Albom’s Tuesday People Podcast. Find the link HERE for his interview with Aaron Lazar where he is sharing the story of his diagnosis with ALS and the fact that he’s not caught up with wasting his time on things that he can’t control and don’t represent any value to his life. The post came from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) and it was a powerful & quick reminder: “If you don’t prioritize your life, someone else will.” These go hand in hand in reminding me, what am I spending my time and efforts on? It got me thinking...
