Today I found another great reminder that it seemed was posted just for me and it came from Liminal (@Liminal1988) where it was shared that “After a certain age,...” we should really be responsible for our lives and where we are at. We can stop blaming our past, others, our mishaps, mistakes, etc., and realize we are where we are due to the choices we have made up until that point. Love the line that “you can either take ownership of your life or become a prisoner to excuses.” This is really not a surprise to me, for I agree with it 100%. Everything that I do, needs to be working ...

Found a post about some really good advice that I have heard shared from others too. This one came from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) where they shared: “The best weight you will ever lose is the weight of other people’s opinions of you.” I have always remembered the line that reminds us that opinions are like people’s backsides, everyone has one. The world seems to be never short of others' opinions and it can be tough to not only filter through them, but to also not let them get to us. Having confidence in ourselves in things we want to do helps to focus ...

When I saw this post from Self-Care Canvas (@selfcarecanvas) it of course came to me as so many people are showing themselves to be the exact opposite (multiple times a day) of this quote: “Be humble and never think you are better than anyone else. We all leave this world with nothing.” It’s both sad to me and also amazing how so many don’t get this simple, yet valuable point. I know / I believe that we do leave with the love & relationships that we had for others in our lifetime! We leave that behind for others too. Now, I also believe that the world has SO MANY examples of ...

They say what you don’t know can’t hurt you. But in this raw and powerful memoir, when Phil’s seemingly perfect life begins to unravel, he realizes there are secrets locked in his subconscious that, like a huge elephant surfacing beneath him, insist on forging their own path. After his unconventional brother, Holly, dies in a boating accident in San Francisco Bay, Phil is haunted by flashbacks and disturbing dreams, hinting at a buried trauma. As the memories claw their way to the surface, Phil's world starts to crumble.

Found a post from Mind Essentials (@Mind_Essentials) and I saw this: “Sometimes it takes 10 years to get that one year that changes your life.” As I thought about it, it really hit me the truth to that idea in my life, but also for it taking a long time for even one special moment to come available for us. The importance for all of us to keep looking to make good choices, create good habits and to keep looking to improve - that will help in those special moments to come our way. The opposite is true as well - making poor choices, have a long history of bad habits and don’t care to ...

Found something that got me to sit back on do some reflecting on this message. It comes from Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) “What if things work out even better than you imagined?” It really comes down to at least trying to do something or more than one thing, and realizing that by simply trying, it could indeed work out just like you thought it would. Maybe even it could end up being better than you thought. WOW.. wouldn’t that be great?? Powerful stuff to realize the possibility of learning something even if it doesn’t work. I’m better off at least trying. ...

Super reflective post here that I found from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) where we are reminded that “You can’t change the people around you, but you can change the people around you. Read that again.” This reminded me that I can’t change the people around me - what they say, what they think, what they do, etc. But, I can change the people around me as to who is around me, who I let influence me along with who I spend my time connecting to. In today’s world, this is something I need to get stronger with for sure. Thanks for listening. Please take a few ...

Had to share this important reminder for all of us, because all of us come across feeling like this many times throughout life. Inky Johnson (@inkyjohnson) gives us some things to connect with this statement: “A champion is made on the other side of I don’t feel like it.” I think it’s important to remind ourselves that we need to define what being a champion means to ourselves, and not really have to follow other people’s definition. We also need to realize the importance of having that definition to work on for ourselves too. One thing for sure, there are always things to work on ...

Saw a fantastic list that got me thinking about things that not only money can’t buy, but also realizing these things are more valuable than money AND they are all things that I (and maybe others) need to keep getting better with. From Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) This list here shows “Things money can't buy: 1. Manners 2. Morals 3. Respect 4. Character 5. Common sense 6. Trust 7. Patience 8. Class 9. Integrity 10. Love.” The other thing that I noticed about this list is that the world needs more people living more and more in their everyday lives. Also remember that since ...

This book is one that I know I will be recommending to many people. As I continue to read Jon Gordon’s latest book, “The 7 Commitments of a Great Team”, the lessons that are available for all of us remind me that I need to simply just work on getting better every single day. I hope, since you are listening to this podcast and probably others, that you want to keep improving too. In this final part 5 of 5 Ways to Stay Positive, this one is titled “Talk to yourself. Don’t listen to yourself.” Remember there is the acronym of LIGHT for these 5 steps and this is the final one, the ...

This book is a good one. As I continue to read Jon Gordon’s latest book, “The 7 Commitments of a Great Team”, the lessons that are available for all of us are powerful and life-changing. In part 4 of 5 Ways to Stay Positive, this one is titled “Have Faith.” Remember there is the acronym of LIGHT for these 5 steps and this one is the “H”. When it comes down to it, Faith helps us to connect with the idea that things are going to get better. Of course we need to understand that challenges will come along in life.. Many of them of course… but we also need to understand (and ...

As I continue to read Jon Gordon’s new book, “The 7 Commitments of a Great Team”, I continue to pick up so many life lessons. In part 2 of 5 Ways to Stay Positive, this one is titled “Inside Out.” Remember there is the acronym of LIGHT for these 5 steps and this one is the “I”. Jon reminds us that the real truth and power of our lives comes from inside us, not from the outside world. I love this point that he brings up that as we create our life from the inside out, it’s all about our spirit, our soul, our passion, and our power from within us. This is why it’s always so ...

As I gladly continue to read Jon Gordon’s latest book, “The 7 Commitments of a Great Team”, I am fired up about continuing to gather so many life lessons. In part 3 of 5 Ways to Stay Positive, this one is titled “Get To.” Remember there is the acronym of LIGHT for these 5 steps and this one is the “G”. This one is right to my heart as Jon reminds us about when we find ourselves complaining - which I still need to work on - we need to remind ourselves that we “get to” do things in our miracle of life, instead of “having to do” them. When we are able to focus on ...

I came across a great post that had an interesting connection of things that people connect to gratitude. From Roseann | Keep On Going Motivations (@Motivateme247) shared this thought: “If you can’t find joy in a cup of coffee, you won’t find it in a yacht. Gratitude treats all things the same.” I love my coffee and I have always found joy, solitude, peace, etc., with my coffee. For sure, I don’t want a yacht or anything that can be labeled as fancy. No problem if that gives you incentive for life, but that’s not for me at all. A few good thoughts (I thought) in this episode. ...

I just got started reading Jon Gordon’s new book, “The 7 Commitments of a Great Team”, and it’s got some powerful lessons in it. Since teams are always a part of life, and it’s not just sports, I wanted to share these 5 parts of Staying Positive. Over the next five days I’ll be sharing some of my thoughts from his book. He’s all talking about “living LIGHT.” I’ll explain what that means throughout this coming week. To start us off, part 1 is all about “Love instead of Fear”. He brings up a couple of great points. Jon reminds us that Love puts a shadow on fear and ...

I found a couple of posts that really focused on some points that I think we need to have more examples of in our world. The first one was from Motivational Quotes (@motivational) where we are reminded about some things that really “Speaks loudest” when it comes to helping to make a difference with others. This post goes on to share these things that do have a “loud voice”: “It’s not your wallet, your title or your status. It’s how you treat others that speak the loudest.” The second connection came from Coach AJ Mental Fitness (@coachajkings) where he shares this classic...

Found a great post from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) “A reminder: Bigger dreams call for healthier habits and healthier habits require more self discipline.” This is something for sure I needed to see, read, hear, think, do, etc., more of in my life. I love the simple fact that we can work on our dreams, work on our habits along with working on our self-discipline. This is, of course, easier said than done. But at least, we can for sure control these three. We are for sure better off taking care of these ourselves, instead of letting others or the world make those decisions for ...

It’s spring time, trees are growing & blooming… saw a great post with wonderful connections to trees. Inspiration & More (@LifeWithJohn) reminded all of us to “Be like a tree. Stay grounded. Connect with your roots. Turn over a new leaf. Enjoy your unique, natural beauty. Keep growing.” - Joanne Raptis. Each one of these connections to being like a tree has many examples of how we can be like a tree. Nature as a whole can always teach us some great lessons. This one really got me thinking and I hope the points I bring to you help you in some way. Thanks for listening. Please ...

Timing seems to be everything when you need a reminder that things are going to be ok, even when I get down on myself and I wonder if I will get through the troubles I’m dealing with. Well then a couple of things - first I saw this post from Positively Present (@positivepresent) “Some of the best moments are coming… The film of your life is still playing. Some of the best moments of your life are still to come.” A wonderful reminder for me that “my movie” is still being played out and better things are coming. The second thing - it always seems to happen where I get a text, a ...

Found another post that I really thought was created just to show me. However, I didn’t see my name attached to it, but it sure felt like it was. This came from Succeeded Mind (@SucceededMind) and here it is: “Either you go after the life you want, or you settle for the life you get.” This made me do a deep reflection on at first I still need to “go after” more and create more of what I want in life. But then, while recording this episode, it hit me that I have AN INCREDIBLY AWESOME LIFE with my wife, kids, my family, along with my profession of being a lifelong educator and ...
