“Send Coach John a message”

I came across something from Coach AJ - Mental Fitness (@coachajkings) where he was responding to (@readswithravi) and it all connected with Coach John Wooden. Coach AJ’s thoughts were this - “Successful people take ownership of their actions, attitude, and effort. John Wooden said, "Don't whine. Don't complain. Don't make excuses." "Get out there and whatever you're doing, do it to the best of your ability." You can't control everything - But you can control how you show up.” All of these things got me so fired up when I read them. I know I need to be WAY better in showing up in every part of my life!! But then, I’ve shown up decently over the years in my life. My younger self … little 10 year old John Daly is proud of me in so many ways. He’s been along for this ride for a long time!! I need to keep it up because I know it’s worth it!! You can apply this to what you got going on! Thanks for listening.

Another gem from Inky Johnson (@inkyjohnson) and he shares his thoughts about “The language of GRATITUDE!” Check out the clip HERE. He opens up with a very strong thought that I’ve never made a connection to! If we forget the language of gratitude - we will never be on speaking terms with happiness. Focusing on the things I’m grateful for - every single day - that helps to keep depression, emotional downturns, feeling bad about myself, getting worked up about my worries and the worries of the world - they cannot exist in a grateful heart! Inky’s whole thought about gratitude “recalibrates” us and puts us in the right spot to be better, do better, listen better, learn better, etc. In today’s world - I need that for sure!! How about you?? Do me and yourself, a favor. Go out there and get connected with Inky Johnson. Thanks for listening.

Came across the gem that I plan on actually using later today when I go out to run some errands. It comes from TeacherGoals (@teachergoals) The intro they shared is: “Love this!” - “When you see something beautiful in someone, tell them. It may take a second to say, but for them it could last a lifetime.” This is so spot on. I’ve been trying to say things to people when I come across something that I see about them. Good service. A smile. An act of kindness that I witness them doing. A compliment to share with them. Etc., it’s all something that the world needs more of. I need to hold myself accountable to do this when I go out later today. Thanks for listening.

Reading my every day Kindle post from John Maxwell’s “Daily Reader” and this one hit home for today. It’s all about "Ratchet Up Your Passion!” He starts out with a powerful question - What makes it possible for people who might seem ordinary to achieve great things? The answer is passion. He also shares 4 truths about passion. One, Passion is the first step to achievement. Two, Passion increases your Will-power. Three, Passion changes you, and Four, Passion Makes the Impossible Possible! This is something I tried to remind my students about all through my teaching career. It’s something I remind myself about and other adults too - as it’s a life-long quest to keep every day we have, somehow connected to things that we are fired up about. All of this comes from John Maxwell’s book, “The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader.” I am reminded to keep investing in myself and the things that light my soul on fire! That’s a powerful life if we can keep these things going! Thanks for listening.

Mondays are great days! Early on in my life, even before I became a teacher, I tried to have a special / different connection to Mondays compared to others. Today’s Daily Thought is something that I feel super connected to. From Deep Psychology (@DeepPsycho_HQ) comes this life gem: “Don’t be impressed by money, followers, degrees and titles. Be impressed by kindness, integrity, humility and generosity.” In today’s world sadly, so many people are following the first part of this. Also, the lies, greed, lack of character, lack of responsibility, blaming others, etc., that go along with this mindset. I know I’m trying to take on more of the second part of this along with; encouragement, love, empathy, character, etc., and so many other positive traits. Sad to say, I have friends and family that are living on the first part - the crumbling part of things in life as they think everything is about winning at all costs and mixing it with the political sess-pool of today. I’m reminding myself that I love them more than I hate the person(s) and things going on with them in our country today. I also know that I need to live my life, build my life and connect more of these building blocks that are built on character, truth, etc., with people and not just flap my gums at things. One of so many reasons why I really enjoy psychology, learning and reading books …. And I know I need to connect with this even more!! Thanks for listening.

Found a fired up thought from Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard) where it’s a simple & powerful reminder that I know I needed to see. “Everything you do, comes back to you. Do good, be good.” I need to keep doing good. Being good. Doing better. Be Better. In EVERY THING I DO! So much of my life is changing (heck, all life is changing, all the time, every single day). But since I have a front row seat on my roller coaster in my life, these are the things I know I need to keep working on. Hopefully you see the opportunities to work on things while you are riding your roller coaster. Remember how motivation is not permanent, that is why we need to keep working on it every day! This thought helps me for sure to do that and I hope it offers you some help too.Thanks for listening.

Found a great post that I got some good reflections on. It came from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) where this was shared from James Clear: “Embrace the fact that life is continual and look for ways to enjoy the daily practice.” What was meant by this was a bit more in depth that helped me really connect to it. “Work is endless. Exercise is endless. Parenting is endless. Same with marriage, writing, investing, creating, and more. You get to choose the parts of your life, but many of the important things in life cannot be “finished.” Do not approach and endless game with a finite mindset. The objective is not to be done, but to settle into a daily lifestyle you can sustain and that allows you to make daily progress in the areas that matter. Embrace the fact that life is continual and look for ways to enjoy the daily practice.” I love the thought of things in life not ever being finished - other than our last day. I challenge myself to keep learning new things every day I have. You know, something just came to mind was Mitch Albom with his friend and producer, Lisa Goich - their recent “Tuesday People Podcast” (listen to it HERE) was all about changing our perspective of living each day as if it’s our last and start living it as it can be our “first” of doing different things. Rather than focus on things we might lose or never have again, it’s a unique mindset shift that I think connects with this post, where we keep looking to continue things and not have things that are finished. Cool stuff if you ask me. Very motivating to start changing my perspective. Hope it is for you too. Thanks for listening.

I found another lesson from a former student of mine. Coach Ray Ostrowski (@CoachRayO3313) shared this gem with his introduction: “Why accept Acceptable when you’re capable of Exceptional? Acceptable is ‘good enough’ for some but never meets the minimum standard for Great. Take small steps daily that combat our natural instinct to be satisfied & tolerate ‘acceptable.” I reposted this from him with my thoughts: “Great stuff @CoachRayO3313 … awesome reminder for life and for anyone open to paying attention.” Today’s episode came in my mobile studio because I wanted to get out to you as soon as I could. Early this morning I had a dream and it got my day started in a direction of wanting to learn more, do more, and to keep getting things done. It’s all about “Acceptable vs. Exceptional” - “Why tolerate acceptable when you’re capable of exceptional? This is something many wrestle with daily. Greatness demands higher standards. Acceptable is good enough for many - but not for the great. Strive to develop the diligence, competitiveness, details, standards, routines, & expectations to become exceptional. Good enough is the enemy of great.” I hope this helps you see some things that you want to work on. Remember, there is not one way of being Exceptional. So many ways to fit it into the areas of life that we want it to be!! Thanks for listening.
