Discussions, ideas, commentary, interviews, etc., all dealing with ways of finding bits of success throughout life and try to apply it to the areas we need. We all have different forms of success and we all need the tools to help us do just that in our lives. Remember - Success is in the journey, the continual process.

“Send Coach John a message”Going back to back here my friends as I connect with Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) again on a very thought provoking & taking a deep breath type of moment. This lesson he introduces with his thoughts first: “We spend so much energy regretting wrong decisions, failed attempts & lost time. Often detours are what help us discover who we truly are. Every mistake carries a lesson, every setback has meaning. The goal isn't to dwell on the past-it's to understand what it's here to teach us.” This quote really does make sense, especially in today’s techy world. “I’m a big fan of the ‘GPS Theory’: when you miss a turn, your GPS doesn’t judge you, it recalculates. No matter how many detours you take, it finds another way forward. Life works like that too. You’ll make mistakes, but your destination doesn’t vanish. The route just changes.” I needed this easy to connect with thought. I’ve made mistakes for sure, but I do just need to keep finding another way forward. Too bad I don’t move as fast as my GPS does in calculating a new way. How’s your GPS system doing? Stay plugged in to it for sure. Thanks for listening.

“Send Coach John a message”Love the daily reminders and lessons I get from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) and this one really got me thinking about a few things. Mark’s intro to the post was this: “A message for today … Everyone is on their own unique journey. Appreciate the people who cross your path, cherish the lessons they leave behind & move forward with gratitude and purpose. Walk your path with kindness, integrity & purpose and embrace the journey ahead.” These are powerful reminders for all of us and reminding ourselves of these, during the moments we are in them throughout life …. That is a key element to having an amazing life. The post said this: “Everyone is on their own unique journey. Walk your path with purpose, kindness, and integrity, while wishing others well on theirs. When your paths meet, appreciate the moments you share together. When they part, continue forward with strength and gratitude. Cherish the lessons, memories, and footprints they leave on your heart, then embrace the opportunity to keep growing and discovering who you are along the way.” As I read this and retyped it out here, I sure did think of so many people that have shared our journeys together. Getting a little misty eyed about it too. Wow, I am blessed in so many ways and I am so very grateful for all of it. So many good people out there and I have connected with many of them. I hope you have the same experiences too. Thanks for listening.

“Send Coach John a message”I found a powerful reminder that I know I need to take with me every day and I also know, FOR SURE, that others need to remember this too. It comes from Gary Hensel (@gary_hensel) and it is this: “Blowing out someone else’s candle doesn’t make yours shine any brighter.” We have way too much of people blowing out others’ candles thinking that it’s ok, and also that it means they are successful. Many that keep doing it also think it means they are a good person for others to follow - in business, religion, etc. It’s total nonsense my friends. The thing is - I need to make sure that I’m not blowing out anyone’s candles - I want to be the one to help them light them. The only candle to blow out is that of hate, intolerance, selfishness, etc. Again, the world needs this reminder more now than ever. Thanks for listening.

“Send Coach John a message”I always love seeing some of the same strong people, who continue to post things on a regular basis that help others. A former student of mine who is now a fabulous teacher and coach, Coach Ray Ostrowski (@CoachRayO3313) is definitely one of those people that are a quality difference maker for others. Here is his intro for the post I saw today: “Your % matters. You can’t be a part-timer & expected to receive full-time benefits & rewards. Break ‘what you do’ up into a % based on your number of opportunities & see how you stack up. Are your outcomes in line with your expectations? Does your % help or hurt your effort?” Now remember, he writes these quotes out every day on a big white board in marker, for his students / players to see! He’s sharing these gems for anyone that wants to keep getting better - even if we are not in high school any more or that we don’t play football either. That’s the beauty of being a lifetime learner… it happens every day if you go looking for it. The quote that he wrote out is this: “% Matters! You can’t be a part-timer & expect full time benefits & rewards. In sports, percentages matter - 75% from the line is solid, while .350 from the plate is elite. But in life, what % of the work are you actually doing? If you’re only showing up for half the reps, half the prep & half the effort - don’t expect the whole result. There isn’t much middle ground for commitment & excuse. The scoreboard will reflect your investment.” WOW!! Take that to heart my friends. This got me thinking about my % as connected to my everyday life. What’s my “batting average” for each day? Am I even getting to the plate to take an at bat or am I content sitting in the bleachers and “resting” because it’s more comfortable and I “get to” or “I’ve earned it” since I’m retired. Dang Coach Ray…. you got this guy doing some deep thinking with this one my friend. Thank You! (I hope he’s got you thinking too my friends.) Thanks for listening.

“Send Coach John a message”I found a new connection for this episode, and even if it’s coming out a tad late, I still had to share it with you. It’s from Bob Coniglio (@BobConiglio) and his message that goes with the quote is to “Enjoy the day.” The thought he shared was this: “Connection is why we’re here. It is what gives purpose and meaning to our lives.” ~ Brene Brown. Life is indeed all about connections. It’s about the people we build relationships with throughout life. It’s the sparks that we connect with that fuel our passion and our purpose. Here is the link for the speech (ordinary people do extraordinary things) from Coach Jim Valvano - HERE. It’s also the daily living we choose to go after that connects with both - people and our purpose. Keep investing in those choices every day my friends. As long as I live, I want to keep making these connections every day I have. How about you? Thanks for listening.

“Send Coach John a message”I came across not only a post from Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) but I also just picked up a copy of his latest book “The Power of Positive Habits”. Great stuff in my quest to just keep trying to get better and be my best version of myself. The post was this: “There’s nothing more powerful than a humble person with a warrior spirit who is driven by a bigger purpose.” I love this!! What a huge reminder for us to keep looking to be humble throughout life! Keep looking to have the mindset of a warrior - keep going, not giving up, get back up when getting knocked down, etc. Keep feeding that spark inside of us that helps to make us who we are. Why are we here? What are we doing with our lives? I think it’s all about constantly connecting with our purpose - every - single - day!! Thanks for listening.

“Send Coach John a message”Found a great conversation that Greg Berge (@GregBerge) shared with a recent post. This thought was what the focus was on: “The lie we tell ourselves. Once we win one I’ll be happy.” - Sean McVay LA Rams Head Coach on Winning a Super Bowl. Greg goes on to say “that Winning doesn’t fill the void. It just moves the finish line. The real joy? The grind. The growth. The people.” Like I’ve shared plenty of times before, life is about relationships. I love the last last that Coach McVay shares about transactional vs. transnational. Take some of these points - like I need to do - and enact them into our life in order to help make it the best life we possibly can. So many more important things in life than winning, job titles, tons of money, fame, etc. The sooner we connect with the grind, the growth and the people that we want to build our lives around - the better off we will be.

“Send Coach John a message”Found this gem from Kylie Riordan (@mindfulheal) and it’s one that I haven’t really connected with this thought before. This is the new connection to kindness for me. “Kindness is loaning someone your strength instead of reminding them of their weakness.” I love this thought. Encouraging others, lifting them up; more than pointing out something they might need to fix. I think there is a lot of pointing out the faults of others. What is more strengthening to others, is taking this higher and different “road” in interacting with them. One thing for sure, I need to do more of this for sure. Thanks for listening.

“Send Coach John a message”I found a fantastic reminder from Overmind (@overmind01) where this little gem was shared with everyone: “8 billion people on Earth. Almost none know you exist. The few who do are too busy to care. Relax. No one’s watching. Go build your life.” So much to digest out of these few sentences. Reminding ourselves that just about everyone on this planet doesn't know who we are. There are some good people - a few that do know us and are pulling for us, but that number is really small. Realizing that all of these people really don’t have any say in what we want to do with our lives. It’s up to us. We can’t let outside “noise” get in the way of what we do with our lives.

“Send Coach John a message” I stumbled across a post from Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) today that got me thinking about a few things. This was the quote that caught my eye today: “Positions are temporary. Titles are limited. But how you treat people is always remembered.” Once again, the world needs more of this. I know I keep mentioning this in my podcasts, but it’s true. We can all do a better job of sharing and acting on things that help bring about better ways of living our lives. A big part of this also connects with others too. When we live our best lives, remember, we are changing “the world” by improving “our world” around us. All the titles, fancy positions and possessions, along with all the money in the world; none of it will win out over how we make others feel. Between remembering my uncle and the two young fellas I had some great conversations with yesterday - wow… there are tons of awesome examples out there for us to connect with and learn from. Remember, you are one of those examples that others can connect with and learn from too. Thanks for listening.
