“Send Coach John a message”

I found a memory that popped up in my social media feed from a year ago. I posted this quote: “We rise by lifting each other, not tearing people down.” I needed this reminder and I know others do too… in fact the entire world does. I’ve had a few comments on the post and it got me thinking about a few things. One is for sure that when you look at the history of our country (the USA), good things happen when we follow this thought! We are inspired to build, invent, create, work together, etc. Theresa, who is a former student of mine, had some thoughts as to how difficult this can be when dealing with someone who does the opposite of this. It got me thinking about a few things. First I think if we keep being the example of lifting up others (with our words and actions), other people notice - maybe even the negative person. I learned that depending on how well you know the person or are connected to this person, you can actually lift them up when they are in trouble. Life offers countless opportunities for this as we all stumble, fall, have setbacks, struggle, etc. This former student of mine, who is one like so many of them, a “teacher” of mine - as she got me remembering when there were a few times of me taking the low road and attacking the other person. Thinking back to those couple of times, I remember feeling horrible about it because that was not who I wanted to be. It caused me plenty of troubles for sure. I’ve learned to always strive for taking the high road. Theresa helped me see this. It all reminds me of this quote - “be the example the world needs to see.” We need more of this for sure!

From my reading a passage from “Areté: Activate Your Heroic Potential” by Brian Johnson, and it’s all about Synergy. A dictionary tells us that synergy is “the interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects.” He shares some great examples in this post from pages 523 and 524, that got me thinking a bit along with getting inspired too! I remember one of my principles from where I worked, sharing this idea early in the school year about our staff being more synergistic and the great things that can come from it. He was right. Any team - even a team of two - that connects with this idea, awesome things can happen. The story of the Belgian horses from this passage says it all. Remember, build those relationships in your life so that synergy comes a bit easier in both the good times and especially the rough times too. Thanks for listening.

This post from Damon West (@damonwest7) really is a very powerful and uplifting reminder for all of us. He shared this: “When I was locked up, I told the guys around me, “When I get out, I’m coming back to bring hope.” Now I walk back into those prisons and they remind me: You said you’d come back, and you did. Because in life, especially in the darkest places, your word is everything.” Our world - throughout history - has always needed hope. Now even more so!! This is such a powerful and much needed reminder that we all need to bring more hope to others (and ourselves) - keep your word when you make promises to yourself and others. Your word is also carried in your Character & Actions too. They all go together. We all have our own stories in life - keep bringing hope to others through your story!!

I came across a great post from Bob Starkey (@CoachBobStarkey) where he shared this gem: “Patience does not mean standing still…it means working hard, pushing forward, taking action — knowing that in time success will arrive.” What a powerful reminder for myself and hopefully you, that being patient still involves some action. I was reminded that while I’m trying to be patient, I can just sit there thinking that just “waiting” will get me through the things or situations I’m waiting on or that those things will be fixed without any effort by me. One thing for sure, the people in my life that I have good relationships with, they can be there if I need to lean on them. Again, relationships can help in so many areas of life. One thing for sure, I do need to work on having more patience for sure. Thanks for listening.

I came across another post that helped me to “throw another log on the fire” of helping to encourage me to keep going. To believe in myself just a bit more after seeing this post. I hope there is that same encouragement for you as well. The post came from Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) and it was this: “The best part of being authentic is that there is no image to maintain. You will delight some and disturb others, and none of it will concern the truth of you being.” The world is so desperate for authenticity. It’s so rare and that rarity is the key. It will connect you to others that notice it and are intrigued to learn more about you maybe, just to see if they can be themselves too. To me it relieves a lot of pressure. Keep finding those things that fire you up and keep looking to have those things, help you be a difference maker for others! Thanks for listening.

Found this powerful and truthful post from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) “Always carry a book with you.” It reminds me to keep doing what I’m doing. In fact, I need to do more of this! I tend to keep looking for things that inspire and motivate me. I keep learning things wherever I can pick them up. This post brings up some fabulous reminders for me (and hopefully you too) to keep a book, a journal, a notebook, etc., with me at all times. Life does involve a lot of waiting. Here are the thoughts I had when I shared the post: “Love this reminder …. This line especially: “So long as you live, keep learning how to live.” WOW!! Drop the mic moment!!” Keep learning my friends and then keep APPLYING what you learn. Keep growing with it. Let it add up to some of the best compound interest ever!! Not only to benefit ourselves, but also let it help us share it with others so it benefits them too! This is truly a commodity of success! Thanks for listening.

I found this post that was really eye-opening for many reasons. First was that I’ve never heard this and then when I sat back - I saw the power and the truth about it. Second - I was amazed at the confidence I felt after I thought about this, along with the fact that it’s not just for one day a year we need to do this! The post came from Inspiration & More (@LifeWithJohn) where he shares with us these thoughts: “March 4th is the only day of the year that acts as a command. To "March forth" means to take action, move forward, and make progress. It's also the only date of the year that's a sentence. Now you know!” The quote he shared was “today is the only day in the year that tells you to do something: March 4th.” Wow! At 60 years old - I am amazed it took me this long to catch this one along with the inspirational truth that comes with it. Every day is connected to the same message that came to my mind: Keep going! Keep moving! Don’t quit! Don’t Give Up! Get Better Today! Keep Believing! Keep Loving! Keep Forgiving… and so many more along with Keep Living!! I’m emotional as I type out these thoughts and show notes. Just like the emotions will show up in the recording too. Thanks for listening.
