WOW.. this one hit me hard… right in the heart. It came from liminal (@Liminal1988) and it’s a note that is titled “Dear Younger Me.” It starts out “You didn’t know many things. You didn’t know how life would turn out, or why certain things were happening to you. And that’s ok….” and the last couple of lines “.... You’re still learning, still healing. There’s always something good in you. There was always something special about you. Then, and even now.” This got me thinking about my younger self and how that part of me (all the parts of my younger self) is ...

Found a great post from Inspiration & More (@LifeWithJohn) where we were reminded that we always need to “Always remember that there is a strength within you that is greater than any storm.” Since we all face storms, this is something we all need to remember - we have been through tough times & we will continue to go through them. Since again, our Past is our best mentor, we can lean on those experiences that we have been through. As I thought about this more and more, I felt better about the storms that I have been through. Also remember that the storms never last!! Thanks for ...

I found a super strong & powerful post that got me fired up and it only has seven words to it. This came from the Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) “Strong people rarely have an easy past.” As I got to thinking about this, I started seeing myself in a way that I usually don’t see myself at all. I realize I’m a lot stronger than I give myself credit for due to the “storms” I have been through. It also occurred to me that I am a lot stronger and better because of the storms that my loved ones have gone through as well. This episode I got a bit fired up and emotional (I know...

I was listening to another amazing podcast from Mitch Albom and his friend / producer, Lisa Goich and it was all about wisdom. A great episode to check out, listen to it HERE. It gave me so many ideas that I wanted to share just a few with you in this episode. One for sure that it reminds me to be a constant student!! Lifelong learning is the way to go for sure. It reminded me about a story I shared with some students today from Michael Jordan being “aggressive to learn.” He was bringing up the importance of being coachable and wanting to learn, listen and be humble in learning and ...

Found a great thought from one of the great basketball coaches. It’s shared by Coach Mac (@BballCoachMac) and the quote he’s sharing is: “With the absence of pressure, it's hard to do great things” - Geno Auriemma. Once again we see that basketball is a great mirror of life. Great things are not supposed to be hard. They are not supposed to be easy. So as we all go through our ups and downs in life - and that will always be the case as I was reminded about this week, going through some health issues, I needed this reminder for sure. I’m looking at these challenges as a refocusing...

Found another gem from one of my All-Star former students, Coach Ray Ostrowski (@CoachRayO3313) where he is not only sharing good information with his students and his players, but also with anyone like us - at any age. Here is his intro to the quote he is sharing: “We all know there is a price to be paid. What far fewer understand is that the price often changes, even daily. You have to condition yourself to be ready to exceed whatever it takes to be successful at any given moment. It takes what it takes.” Each and every day has different challenges for us in our lives. The standard we ...

In today’s world, so many people are going through tough moments. Life has them all the time. I found something that was a good reminder for me and all of us, that when we do go through the hard times and it’s from The Winning Difference (@thewinningdiff1) where they had a clip of Kentucky Men’s Basketball Head Coach, Mark Pope where he shared this: “"It's these hard moments that make you grow too. When you can take the hard moments and turn them into something great...that's when you are on a journey." With the right mentality, hard moments don’t break you—they make you.” ...

Saw a great post from Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) where they share these “4 things you can't get back… The Stone after it’s thrown. The Word after it’s said. The occasion after it’s missed. The Time after it’s gone. - Deanna Wadsworth.” Each of these four things are all easy to connect with and we all can come with our own examples of these that we have done in our own lives. It’s something to keep an eye on every day as these things are a great guideline to have a good life, if we take them into account. I know I need to do more of these for sure. Thanks for ...

Found an emotional and powerful post from Inky Johnson (@inkyjohnson) where he brought up the fact that we don’t hear too much about - “Amazing souls don’t just happen.” I think we all know people that can be called “beautiful souls”. People that just do good things. They encourage, are kind, help others, are giving, full of compassion and encouragement for others. Inky brings up the fact that they just don’t happen. They come from spots in life that had tough moments, heartbreak, pain, suffering, etc. This is a great reminder for us to not only look for & acknowledge these...

Saw a great post from someone who I’ve been connected to for a long time, Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) shares some things for the new year, but I think they can be used every day! Here is his post: “3 Keys to a Great 2025 1. Keep your Vision Alive-through adversity keep looking forward. 2. Stay Positive-when you hit setbacks believe the best is yet to come. Faith instead of fear. 3. Stay Connected-to your family and team. You are more powerful together than alone.” Again, with most advice for the new year, it’s good for every day too. So many connections to all 3 of these that got ...

Found a very cool post - another short one, but yet it’s a powerful one for sure. It has to do with the love of music. I hope I can say that just about all humans have a connection to music - ever since it’s been around. This post came from Inspiration & More (@LifeWithJohn) “Kudos to music! Thank you for always clearing my head, healing my heart, & lifting my spirits. ~ A day without music is like a day without sunshine!” So many great memories came back when I saw this post and I hope this episode does the same for you. Do me a favor, reach out and let me know some of your favorite...

This is something we all need at times throughout life: liminal (@Liminal1988) “Read this when life feels overwhelming.” There is a lot to this post where it gives us plenty of ideas on how to help ourselves to feel a bit better and more grounded when we are feeling a bit overwhelmed. Let’s face it, life can do that to all of us at any time. This post has many different connections for all of us to pay attention to. Thanks for listening.

Coach Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) shares his powerful thoughts “A message for today … When it’s meant for you, it brings a sense of ease. It doesn’t leave you questioning your worth or peace of mind. Your soul recognizes what is right for you by how it feels when you're in its presence. If it costs you your inner calm, it’s too expensive.” There are some good things to take with us from this episode for sure. It reminds us that if things cost us our peace in life, it’s probably something we don’t need to connect with. Thanks for listening. Please take a few moments to ...

It’s football season of course & whether you are a fan or not, there are still tons of lessons you can learn from this and sports in general. This lesson comes from The Winning Difference (@thewinningdiff1) and it comes from Coach Kirby Smart from the University of Georgia where he’s reminding us not to be a blamer. Coach mentions, “Don’t be a blame guy. That’s the first sign of loser mentality when you blame someone else for a mistake.” The first step in becoming a winner is learning how to win. Remember, we are talking about winning OUR game of life! There are so many ...

I found this powerful, yet simple reminder about what growth is not connected to. Motivational Quotes (@motivational) reminds us that: “Anyone who has grown mentally, physically, or spiritually knows that growth is not found in comfort.” Don't get me wrong, there are times to be comfortable for sure. But, I know I can’t spend most of every day looking to simply be comfortable. I need to put action behind things that I must do, get to do, want to do, etc. Talk with that person in the mirror to see what’s next for you to tackle. Thanks for listening. Please take a few moments...

Once again, it’s funny (or by design) that I saw a posting for a connection of something that I went through this morning - any many other mornings. It was great advice for me to keep focusing on this, taking back control of what I was focusing on. Our attention is something that is of great value and I know I need to keep looking to take care of my energy and where it’s going along with what I let affect it too. Thanks for listening.

Saw a very “reflective” post that got me thinking about some things and as always, I hope it gets you thinking too. From Mind Essentials (@Mind_Essentials) where they share the thought that “you cannot see your reflection in boiling water. Similarly, you cannot see the truth in a state of anger. When the water calms, clarity comes.” This reminded me of the fact that there is much work I still need to do. It’s something that I choose to work on. Something I get to work on. Thanks for listening. Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 ...

Score another great post from liminal (@Liminal1988) where we are reminded about a very simple thought: “Do a good job.” With this thought, it’s all about no matter what we do in life. Whatever calling / profession we have, simple & powerful… do a good job! It’s something that I know I need to work on for sure. One part really stuck with me: “Fully invest yourself in the things you’re tending to.” I got to tell you. Here I am, in my very late 50’s in age and I know I still have so much more to do & accomplish. This is helping me to not only see a future podcast ...

Saw another post that was deserving to be shared. It comes from a fabulous educator and coach that you have heard from before. Coach Ray Ostrowski (@CoachRayO3313) reminds all of us that “You get what you put in. You can’t cheat the Grind.” Remember, the Grind is something we all have to deal with as it’s not the same for everybody. One thing for sure, we need to have conversations with the person in the mirror staring back at us. When it comes to cheating, we can’t put anything over that person that is always with us. Thanks for listening. Please take a few moments to subscribe ...
