“Send Coach John a message”

Love this post that came across my “wires” today. It comes from Drew Maddux (@DrewMaddux) and he shares this thought about the quote I will share with you as “Life’s highest calling... Pick up the Trash...leave people, places, and things better than you found them! Every conversation matters. Every interaction matters. Every encounter is an opportunity to bring life, hope, and encouragement to someone else. You never know what someone is carrying, and you never know how one word, one smile, or one moment of genuine care might change their direction. Life is not only built in the big moments…it’s built in the ordinary ones. So, treat every day like it matters, because somebody else’s life might depend on it.” The quote that he shared with his comments goes like this: “I’m very optimistic that every conversation, interaction, or encounter you have every day can change somebody else’s life.” Just imagine for a moment, if more people took this to heart and set out throughout their day to consciously live this out. Even in small ways, this can be a HUGE deal for others and their world. This is an awesome & powerful mindset to have throughout life. I dare you to try it. Thanks for listening.

I found an amazing post with unbelievable timing. This really hit home as we just lost my uncle earlier this morning. He had a long, long life as he was in his early 90’s. He fought with many different battles over the last few years - cancer and Alzheimer's to name just two of his battles. This quote hit home for me: “The people we love and have lost don’t just shape our past; they show up in how we live every day.” George Couros is the one who said this and shared it too. George Couros (@gcouros) who had this thought about the quote: "You don’t feel sad all the time, but for the rest of your life, you are different. I can’t explain it any better than that." I love this other thought he threw out there about grief: “You Don’t Get Over Grief, You Become Someone New Around It.” These thoughts here have been circling around my brain since I saw them. My aunt and my two cousins have been at my uncle’s side for a few days now as the end was drawing near. This family has had their share of tragedy in their lives - but… they have always been there for each other throughout their entire lives. What a powerful lesson for all of us to learn from. I’d like to keep on my journey of looking to get better, every single day - because of and for, the people that shaped me and came before me. That’s the best way to keep connected to others that make an impact on us. For me - it’s one more balcony person not only cheering me on, but also gives me another big reason to keep working hard and doing my best in life. Thanks for listening.

From Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) came this gem on what he calls a “MindsetMonday”. “Don’t let old battles keep you from new victories.” I’ve done this plenty of times. Keep re-hashing something in my head from my past that is holding me back from my current day / in the moment things I should be doing. This became clear again not because I saw this post, but actually going through it because of my recent surgery. So much stuff we tend to carry around and if you are like me, sometimes that old stuff gets in the way of doing new & great things. Something good for me to work on while I have a bit more time on my hands as I heal up. Thanks for listening.

I saw this post that connected directly to one of my favorite all-time shoes, Ted Lasso. This post was from one of the characters on the show, Higgins and it was one of so many life lessons shared on the show. In a conversation with another character, Roy - Higgins mentioned this to him: “Human beings are never going to be perfect, Roy. The best we can do is keep asking for help and accepting it when you can. And if you keep on doing that, you’ll always be moving towards better.” Asking for help is something that many have trouble with doing and some even have trouble giving help too. Recently going through another operation, I’ve been put in the position of needing a lot of help. My wife has gone beyond “stepping up”, as she is doing everything. Today, I’m getting around better and doing a bit more for myself. This point from the show really got me thinking about not only my life right now - but also the way it should be more often. If we are looking for help (and we should be open to that), we need to be more helpful towards others. Do yourself a favor - check out the Ted Lasso show and see the awesome character development and the many life lessons that all of us can use more of. Thanks for listening.

What an amazing, emotional and inspiring conversation I had with another former student of mine, Eli’Ana Klemm. This was a powerful conversation all connected to her recent book, "Resilient" (click the title for the link) and the lessons she learned from extreme loss and injury when she was young. Eli’Ana shares so many lessons of life in this conversation that I know this will make a positive difference with so many people. You can connect with her on Instagram (@Beyondherblues) and there you will find other ways she shares her insights, encouragement and life enhancing ideas. She is again, another student that I’ve had the pleasure to work with that really makes a difference with others. She’s also one that I’m very proud of and thankful for all the lessons she continues to teach me. This is one to share with others for sure, both here and on my Youtube channel as well.

For my last pre-recorded, post surgery episode (hopefully), I’m leaning on a legend. John C. Maxwell (@TheJohnCMaxwell) is someone that has been around for a very long time. I remember for most of my life knowing who this guy is and finding my way to being connected to his teachings. This one is a gem that he shares with us today. “The only guarantee that tomorrow is going to be better than today is that you’re growing right now.” Let this clip sink in a bit. Listen to it a couple of times. In our growth during tough times, we have the choice of learning from those moments, in order for us to have a better tomorrow. This is something that I know I need to do more of - especially during my recovery from my surgery. Not easy times right now. Painful times right now. But I know I’m getting better from what I had to go through. This lesson I need to keep leaning on, stay connected to, because I know there will be other tough times to get through and to learn from as I’m going through them. You know what?? The same goes for you. The same goes for everyone. We just need to remember this for our moments of tough times so that we can grow from what we learn about going through them. Here’s to better tomorrows. Everyone around us gets better when we grow! Thanks for listening.

He scores again… Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) shared another gem that caught my heart and my ear. I’ve heard this before, actually many times, but I needed to hear it explained this way: “Don’t be a thermometer that reflects the room. Be a thermostat that changes it. Stay grounded, set the tone & bring the energy you want others to feel. Measure the atmosphere if you must — but don’t stop there. Change it.” The clip he shared was from Devante Warner (@thedevantewarner). Love the strength and courage of being the person that brings peace into chaos. Brings faith into doubt. The more we can learn to be the thermostat in our lives, the more control we can have in situations where others are only the thermometer. Such an amazing and powerful mindset to have.

I found this amazing reminder (seems more and more amazing reminders that I am finding - messages that we all need) from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) his message about the clip from Inky Johnson (@inkyjohnson) - “Achievement is what you attain or accomplish. Fulfillment is something you experience when your journey, growth & relationships align with purpose. Fulfillment comes from who you become during the journey, how you impact others & whether your life aligns with purpose & values.” Love the reminders about the importance of the journey that we are all going through in life. The people that are on the journey with us are so valuable. Achievement is what we acquire and fulfillment is what we become. The sooner we connect with this, I feel that our lives will become more valuable, more memorable - so much more meaningful. Our journey (people, things and events) all of it molds us into who we are. The thing is - we do the same for others as well. Great stuff! Deep stuff! Take it all in my friends. Thanks for listening.
