Stumbled across a reminder that I needed and it came from Damon West (@damonwest7) “Don't forget that being a Coffee Bean starts with YOU! Create positivity from the inside out and not the outside in.” This reminder came of course at a time when I needed to hear it and I hope it’s the same for you too. There are a number of good points here for all of us to take in and keep with us for sure. It’s all about the things we can control, letting go of the clutter around us and to keep striving to be our best! #BeACoffeeBean Thanks for listening. Please take a few moments to subscribe ...

Found myself watching a clip that I have seen & watched before and again, it’s a message that I needed to hear & see again - it’s got that much value for sure. Coach Kara Lawson (@karalawson20) is the head women’s basketball coach at Duke University. She’s one of the best out there as a coach and a leader and of the reasons why she is - she played for the legendary coach and leaders, Coach Pat Summitt at the University of Tennessee. Kara’s website. Watch this video first - this is where Coach Lawson shares her thoughts on “handling hard better.” After that video, please ...

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 two great posts that share a very important message for all of us, especially in today’s age (and really any point in time). First I found this from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) where this quote was shared: “Those who keep learning will keep rising in life.” - Charlie Munger. Being a lifelong learner is something that always has more positive benefits than if you think you know it all. The second post I connected with was from Maxpein (@maximumpain333) where this powerhouse statement was shared: “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and ...

Found a good list that I know I need to pay attention to a bit more. Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) came out with this list of 7 types of rest. Some good ideas for all of us to get some rest in the areas of: Physical, Emotional, Mental, Sensory, Social, Creative and Spiritual. Some good thoughts here where I add my two and half cents to them as well. I know I will be focusing on these items to get more rest. Thanks for listening.

Found a great post and even better reminder to start my week off from Damon West (@damonwest7) where he reminds us of an important lesson that connects with is book, “The Coffee Bean”. In today’s world we need this reminder for sure, or at least I do: “Be the coffee bean that makes a difference, not the one that gets changed by the world around you. #BeACoffeeBean. He goes on to share some powerful thoughts on resilience.This is good… “Resilience isn’t just about surviving the storm; it’s about thriving once the clouds clear. Be the coffee bean that changes the water, not the...

This episode is coming from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) and he’s sharing what I think is something I needed to get my focus back on for sure. He shared: “A message for today …What impresses me most is one’s humility, authenticity & care for others. Being a good person impresses me more than one’s material wealth or status. We need to value deeper & meaningful qualities in people which lead to more lasting & genuine connections.” I needed to see this to get me back on track to what’s really important in this world. Not what the “popular view” is, but that there are some things...

Found an amazing reminder for all of us and it’s connected with something that hopefully we see everyday. It’s taking advice from a tree and this great reminder comes to us from Gratitude HQ (@gratefuledu64) and they introduce these thoughts with this one: “We draw wisdom from all different sources — but maybe we should look more closely at nature for inspiration and guidance on living…” I think they are right on target with this one. So many things we can pick up and learn from nature, especially trees. Sit back and listen to this list and I hope you will see how easy it is ...

This is a continuation of that powerful post from the Napoleon Hill Foundation and this one has 5 Great Rules of Success. This is part 4 of 5 which is "Go The Second Mile In All Human Relationships". So many thoughts on this one for all of us to connect to for sure. We need to be mindful of the importance of all of our human relationships. There are many in life and only a few really key relationships, but everyone can teach us something throughout life. Thanks for listening.

John Pollen (1855-1923) was an official in the Indian Civil Service. A keen linguist, he learned Russian, Esperanto, and Persian and in 1915 published an English translation of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. His collection contains 158 quatrains and includes a set of seven prefatory quatrains by Andrew Lang and a foreword by the Aga Khan.

Although his output was small, John of the Cross (1542 - 1591) is considered one of the most important figures in Spanish poetry. All his verses explore the same theme: the search of the soul for union with its creator and the glory of the resulting "mystical marriage". This selection of 20 poems opens with his most famous poem, "The Obscure Night of the Soul" and concludes with a free translation of "Psalm 137 (By the Waters of Babylon)".

Another great reminder came my way today from a wonderful difference maker, Coach Ray Ostrowski (@CoachRayO3313) who is a former student that I got to know while working during a few of my 34 years in teaching and now he is an awesome teacher & coach himself. He’s not only helping his students and players, but plenty of people like me. Part of what he said as intro to this post was this: “Part of maturing is establishing the strength to persevere and recognizing that the work you do in the darkness will eventually come to the light in due time.” You see, I view myself as still ...

Found a great reminder, and again, it was right when I needed it. I didn’t scroll too far when I saw this from Andrew Taylor (@andrewtaylor09) where he reminded me (and all of us) that “All you can control in life is your effort and your attitude. Effort is how hard you try. Attitude is how you respond.” This is attributed to many people, but he made the connection from Coach Don Meyer and the #MeyerMonday message. - Doug Dreyer/AP. I saw it when I needed it. Now remember, I’ve mentioned this idea many times on this podcast and throughout my life to my students and players....

Coming at you today like a soup recipe, putting a few different ingredients in the meal for today. First coming from the book “Areté” written by Brian Johnson, and a section all about the etymology energy really means? It’s tied into work + love. I took the approach here with the help of a basketball coach, Joe Mazzulla explained why he doesn’t feel pressure from the Boston media: “.... They’re just saying words.” The words that people use can lift or they can knock down. I’m seeing more and more examples of people and their words (and actions) doing more to hurt ...

Connecting with a quote I shared from a previous show. I found it from Devin Scillian’s (@DevinScillian) goodbye message when he announced he was retiring from our NBC affiliate here in the Detroit area, WDIV and he shared a quote from his friend Tom Sorrels when talking about him trying to decide about retiring. Tom said, “It’s later than you think.” Meaning if there is anything you want to do, get busy doing it because time is going by fast. I took that to heart and wrote it down. I connected it to the other night when I looked up and saw so many stars along with a very bright ...

Great posts are all over the place and this one is another inspirational one for me and hopefully you too. I found this from Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard) and it was all about creating small moments that help us to love our lives! It got me thinking about the little things that I intentionally choose to focus on and help to love my life even more. It’s really an investment into myself & those I love. I know you can identify those small moments in your life that mean so much to yourself. Try to connect with them to love your life even more and to keep going on connecting with those ...

Great post with some three powerful reminders to help us to understand life a little bit more. It comes from Book Therapy (@Book_therapy223) where it’s mentioned that - “You have to visit 3 locations to understand life: the hospital, the prison and the cemetery.” There are many connections to each of these three as just about most people can quickly understand each of these places. I know that it gets me thinking about life a bit more and I hope that I can share some connections that will get you thinking too. Thanks for listening. Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this ...

I found something that really connected with me as I’ve been learning about the struggles of so many people, some that I know personally & it reminded me that none of us are alone when it comes to dealing with challenges. This was from Mind Essentials (@Mind_Essentials) where they shared this quote: “Life will never wait for you to be okay. Get up, carry your burden and keep going.” Another thing that got me thinking about this was (and I think about this often), the struggles that my ancestors had to go through in order for me to be here. It’s inspiring really when I take it all...

Found a gem from The Winning Difference (@thewinningdiff1) and it’s a great lesson for all of us from one of the best coaches that has ever helped be a leader & encourager for young people. “Never compromise your principles; never lower your standards. Whatever it is that you desire to do in life, have the courage and commitment to do it and do it to your absolute best.” - Pat Summit I am reminded that each and every day I need to take the little steps to make sure I stay true to my principles and my standards. To remind myself that the things I want to do with my life and for others,...
