Mind Essentials (@Mind_Essentials) This first one reminds us that if we don’t sacrifice for our goals and dreams, those goals and dreams may end up being sacrificed for the work we didn’t do. With time going by so fast, it seems to me that I have a lot more work & effort I need to put into making some dreams / goals a reality. How about you? On the second plate for today’s self improvement snack was from Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard), where this one reminds us to make sure we have discipline on the days we don’t feel good or feel like doing things. That’s when we really need it...

Saw a remarkable post from Steve Harvey (@IAmSteveHarvey) where he said “I came across a quote that said: ‘The most valuable math you can learn is how to calculate the future cost of your current decisions.’ Think about that.” Well Steve, I am thinking about this. It all balances in with doing things today, right now, so that my future self will be proud AND for me to keep being in the moment (where my two feet are) and doing my best in that moment. I just want to (and need to) keep making good choices, to build the kind of life that I can be proud of. If I do this, I know those ...

For someone like me who needs some advice to fight the laziness that pops up here and there for me in life, this list from Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) - “You Will Never Be Lazy After Reading This” list of 7 items. Dial in to the episode to get the 7. I needed these reminders as one of the biggest ones for me deals with having self discipline. All of these tie into each other and they sure do tie into hopefully all of us looking to get better in life. Thanks for listening.

Found a great lesson, a powerful reminder - and once again it’s coming from a former student of mine. From Coach Ray Ostrowski (@CoachRayO3313) Where he gave us some of his thoughts: “Complacency is the enemy of progress. We cannot grow satisfied with what we did yesterday & expect to be better tomorrow. It’s about the work you put in right now. If you truly want to be special, you have to be willing to sacrifice today! The cost for success is always increasing.” He shared a quote too that connects with his thoughts and again, remind all of us that we have some choices that we can make...

Found a reminder for all of us - comes from Greg Berge (@gb1121) where he shares this with everyone: “You are who you hang with. Surround yourself with the following people… - They are happy for your success - Driven and goal oriented - They make you better - Positive energy givers - Respectful of others - Resilient mindset - Kind hearted - 100% ers. You owe it to yourself.” Of course I know this is what we all should strive to be for others too. I think it’s a great reminder in what to look for around us in others and for the person in the mirror staring back at us. We have so ...

I found another wonderful reminder and something that I know I’m trying to work towards in my life. This is brought to you from Gratitude HQ (@gratefuledu64): “One of the happiest moments in life is when you find the courage to let go of what you cannot change.” So many distractions today and every day, all around us. Whenever we can figure out how to let go of those things we can’t control, life begins to get a bit better. I know I keep working on perfecting this skill. One thing for sure, I will keep working on it because I know it works and there will never stop being ...

Great stuff again, from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) and it’s a reminder for me and all of us. “Don’t let your bad days trick you into thinking you have a bad life.” The little ups and downs that we all go through sure do have a tough time tricking us into thinking we are having more than just a bad day, if we can focus on gratitude and a few other things. It’s something that I’ve been looking to do a little bit more recently. I Hope this helps you do the same. Thanks for listening.

Woke up this morning a little bit earlier than normal, mostly thanks to our dog… but also because I heard something recently that if you wake up early and your mind is thinking about something that fires you up or something you want to do - it does no good to try and fall back asleep. Your best bet is to wake up and attack the day. To actually do something about the thing(s) you are thinking about. That helped me to get up early too. I’m part of this Mental Toughness Academy group, run by Ben Newman and it’s become part of my morning routine to check in with the group after my ...

Saw a great thought from Jon Gordon (@jongordon11) where he mentions something that I know we all probably need to do a little of. He reminds us that “Pruning is necessary for growth to happen. What looks bad today leads for greater growth and a harvest in the future. Whatever you are going through, trust that a harvest is coming!” This is something that all of us can use because we all have things that we could get rid of (prune) in our lives in order to help ourselves (and those we love) to get better. Getting better every single day - that’s the way I think we can live our best ...

I found a great reminder on how sports is an awesome teacher of what life is all about. This is from Sports Psychology (@SportPsychTips) and it’s a reminder we all need to connect to. “Being mentally tough is about: Giving your best effort. Pushing through discomfort. Focusing on the task at hand. Blocking out distractions. Facing your fears and staying poised under pressure.” From this list, I know that I have plenty to work on every day of my life. I also know the value of putting in the effort to improving in these areas too. What a great plan of attack for all of us to take on. ...

Love when these posts come across my “timeline” to help remind me of something that, not only do I need to keep getting better, but also I get to share it with others. Coach the Coaches (@WinningCoaches) come through again with this gem of a reminder: “Surround yourself with people who are rooting for your rise.” We certainly don’t need to be around people pulling for our demise. We need to be around people looking to cheer us on. Of course, we need to be that same way with those people too. I was blessed to have some coffee this morning with another one of those people that ...

Coach Ray Ostrowski (@CoachRayO3313) came through with some powerful teaching & coaching with this one. “Don’t worry about the mistakes of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow. TODAY is the day that matters!” He put a whole quote together on his quote board dealing with this gem. It all deals with yesterday, today and tomorrow. Once again I got a much needed reminder right when I needed to see it. Hope this one helps you too. Thanks for listening.

Had an amazing chat with my friend Tricia a few days ago that really left a major impact on me and I hope it will leave you with some thoughts too. She’s part of our Difference Maker group that I’ve been blessed to be part of for a few years now, and she reached out to me to share a powerful story with me. She was recently with a larger number of her family celebrating another family member's life, who was battling cancer. Well, the journey took Tricia on a self-reflective ride of emotions, love, humbleness, and a look at her life’s journey. It has helped me to do the same. The ...

Saw another great post that had a very simple, yet powerful reminder for all of us and it came from POSITIVITY (@PositivitySaid) “Just enjoy life. You will never be this young again.” I sat back to let this sink in a bit and it reminds me to try and do the most with every day that I have. The things that I want to do, need to do, get to do, etc., and as I get older, some of those things (and many others), will only get more difficult with age and time adding up. It’s true for all of us - make sure we remind ourselves of this point every day! Thanks for listening. Please take a ...

Christopher Smart (1722-1771) was an English poet and scholar. This extraordinary poem, which is a florid display of Smart's opinions on a variety of theological, historical, and scientific subjects, was written between 1759 and 1763, while the author was confined in a lunatic asylum. His condition was diagnosed as religious mania, as evidenced by his compulsion to break into spontaneous prayer in public.

Saw a very powerful post and it’s quite a Game Plan for all of us to follow a bit more, not just on a Monday. Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) shared this total truth: “Deep conversations with the right people are everything.” I saw this and started thinking back to so many of my favorite people and started to recall awesome & deep conversations with them. It brings a smile to my face, a tug on my heart and a tear to my eye. I for sure, want and need more of these types of conversations for sure and I will be looking to intentionally focus on doing more of them. I hope you can...

Had a fired up day today and I wanted to share a bit about it in this episode. First of all, I had a great conversation with a friend who’s looking to help others through the problems he has had in life. That conversation I hope to have coming out on Sunday - in a new idea, “Sunday conversations with Coach John”. (We’ll see how it goes). Then after I got done with the recording of our conversation, I found this post that directly connected with part of our fabulous conversation. From a HUGE difference maker himself, Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) “Trying to turn a dream into a ...

Found a very simple but important post from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) where we are reminded that “Life is so ironic. It takes sadness to know what happiness is, noise to appreciate silence and absence to value presence.” All of these things we experience in life and when we can take a moment and step back to look at these, I think gratitude fits into the mix of all these. So many lessons that these can help us with in life, that’s for sure. I know that I need to recognize when I’m going through these times in life of sadness, noise, and absence to really appreciate and value ...

Found a new source of some great posts as Positivity Inspired (@inspiringmyday) shared this simple jem - “Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” I think this is one of the truest statements that we all can agree on, even if it is with ourselves and the person looking back at us in the mirror. Each of us I think have our own unique ways of making things better for ourselves, but the opposite is true as well. This is why it’s important to keep working on ourselves every single day. Look to make things simple instead of more difficult. I know for me, it’s a ...

A fired up message that hit me right between the eyes and went straight to my heart from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) - A great example of people inspiring & encouraging other people as he did with me. He introduced this post with this: “A message for today … Life's challenges often push us to our limits but they can also serve as catalysts for growth & resilience. The process of coming together helps us rebuild & emerge stronger. It's in overcoming adversity that we truly discover our strength & potential.” We all have choices and this one got me very emotional as I was reading it during...
