“Send Coach John a message”

From Positivity Inspired (@inspiringmyday) comes this quote from Benjamin Franklin - “Lost time is never found again.” To me, this is something that goes with a major game plan of mine, becoming more focused! I waste so much time - especially with all the distractions that are out there. I need to connect with those moments when they present themselves to also connect with the best choice on how to use my time in those moments. One thing for sure, today’s “crud” going on around us - in the USA and around the world, can’t be taking so much of my time up any longer. Way too much more important items to connect with.

“Send Coach John a message”

Found this huge connection to some things that I’ve been thinking about lately - the people in my life that have made a huge impact on me. It comes from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) and it reminds us to “be the things you loved most about the people who are gone.” I am thinking about so many people and I’m trying to take what not only they meant to me, but the lessons they taught me and live my life with them in mind. I just shared this image with a friend who tragically lost a family member. It sure does help take what’s wonderful from people and keep it going in “life”. Thanks for listening.

Going back to back with a message to share with you today. It’s coming again from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) where he shares this thought with us: “You’re blessed with the opportunity to control what you bring to your environment daily! Bring your own joy today!” The message from Mark is helped by Inky Johnson (@inkyjohnson) and his message about bringing your own joy can be connected with HERE. It’s amazing how fired up I get when connecting with things & people like this. They speak right to my soul. Looking back in my life, it’s becoming clear to me that I’ve always had this knack for connecting with people and things that helped to light a spark in me. Even during dark times, I always find myself gravitating towards things and people like Inky and Mark. In today’s world my friends and for what seems to be getting crazier every day - we need to find ways to not only keep our joy, but to keep bringing it every single day! Join me in committing to finding things every day to keep adding that spark into your life and into your heart. Then go and try and live by those things as well. Don’t let the world snuff out that spark of your joy!! Thanks for listening.

I found a very targeted message to myself today and it came from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) and this was it: “A message for today … Starting over doesn’t mean failure; it’s a brave act of courage. You’re allowed to try again, no matter how many times you’ve started.” Wow, did I need to hear this and in today’s episode I get a bit fired up about some things that are going on in my life and around all of us too. It’s ok to start again. It’ ok to offer ourselves some grace. It’s totally ok to just keep choosing to get better!! I love that connection! I will be looking at the guy in my mirror looking back at me and telling him - grab my hand, I got you… let’s go!! I hope you have a similar message for that winner looking back at you in your mirror!! Thanks for listening.

I remember this thought that I saw from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) that my friend @DrJeffLpip shared many times. “Hope and Fear cannot occupy the same space. Invite one to stay.” - Maya Angelou was the one who put that powerful thought out there many years ago. I needed this reminder, again, and I know I need to simply make the choice that for me, Hope has the space for sure! There are too many things out there connected to fear and I don’t want to choose that any longer. What about you? Thanks for listening.

I found so many things that I wanted to (and could have) share with you today. It could easily be 10 podcasts. This one connected with me first and it came from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) and he shared this preview of what the post was all about: “A message for today … Don’t be afraid to embrace life, chase your dreams and live fully. Show up every day with passion and courage, and let nothing hold you back. Life is rare and beautiful—go all in with it!” His post moved me so much and I shared these thoughts on his post as I shared it with others: “I could do so much better with this for my life… I’ve had my moments of not being afraid, but not like I know I could have. Good news for me, I can show up today - right in this moment I have - with passion, courage, love, etc., and do my best with the task at hand.” I shared a lot about this in today’s episode and it honestly connects with a lot of the thoughts, feelings, ideas swirling around in my head from other items I have connected with this morning - but I hope (as I always do) this gets you thinking and then acting in a direction that helps you with the things going on in your life. Whatever it is, keep it up! Thanks for listening.

I remember this guy from when I was much younger. In fact around 10 when I remember hearing about Clint Hurdle (@ClintHurdle13) since he was drafted 9th overall by the Kansas City Royals in the mid 1970’s. He has been around baseball for a long time and now he’s sharing stories and lessons from the great game that can help all of us, whether we even like baseball, let alone play it. He shared this gem: “We're not finished products. Continue to grow. Look for growth opportunities every day.” I love this quick and simple thought, that we as humans (especially this human), seem to have trouble understanding the validity of this thought. He has inspired me by his humility and love for helping others. Coach Hurdle has mentioned recently that he really looked to change and grow a couple of years ago, so he started out on his journey of writing a book. I got his book as a Christmas gift from my parents and I’m starting to read it. Which for me is also writing in the book, taking notes, underlining, sharing items from it, etc. A BIG suggestion I have for you is to go out and get your own copy that you can write in if you want to. Find more info here on his website: https://www.clinthurdle.com/book . Thanks for listening.

I just came across a post from Kobe Bryant Stories & Motivation (@kobehighlight) where there is a clip of Kobe sharing a thought that made a connection to a really good 2026 mentality: “Always keep going. The storm eventually ends.” - Kobe Bryant. That whole idea of persistence is one that seems to keep popping up to remind me as to how important it is to have - it seems now more than ever in so many ways. I’m working on this as I found this post. Trying to focus (my One Word for 2026) on doing little things better, all throughout my day. I want to focus on many of the areas that I know I need to put more effort in my life. The key is to zero in on one at a time. Reading, fitness, learning new skills, educating myself in different areas, relationships, my health, my attitude & responses to things, etc. Kobe is right - the “storm” does eventually pass and then there is usually a new one coming on the horizon. Just. Keep. Going. Thanks for listening.
