I recently got the chance to listen to another fabulous & powerful podcast from Ben Newman - The Burn Podcast. Click HERE for this episode. He was sharing some golden coaching lessons where for him was having Ed Mylett asking the hard questions to him and wondering am I doing the right things. Ben said “...we are never finished. It’s an “own it” mentality every day! It’s understanding that your success in life is long obedience in the same direction with aggressive patience.” The importance of having others help us. Having coaches & mentors help us through life. It helps to bring the truth out for all to see and understand - nobody gets through life alone! I also had a big revelation or reflection this morning reading from “The Traveler’s Gift” by Andy Andrews - my reading from yesterday - the 4th Decision for Success is "I have a decided heart.” For me, it’s all about helping others & making a difference for others - especially young students & athletes, teachers and coaches. Others fall into this arena too of course. It hit me while reading this again - remember, we are in a different point in our lives every time we read, watch or listen to something more than one time. The more that ALL OF US can help others - we help to change their lives - even just a little bit, can have an effect on them and the people they are connected to, for ever and ever! Think about if more people took this to heart. To have an “own it” mentality and going through building their lives, their dreams with understanding that their “success in life is long obedience in the same direction with aggressive patience.” Thanks for listening.

Alan Stein Jr. (@AlanSteinJr) comes through again with a list of things for us to just kind of let go of. He’s right, when you start looking at some of these things he brings up - it does change our “game” and how we play it. This is a powerful Top 10 style list - find the image over on my Twitter / X feed and on my Facebook page too. If you start with only one of these, I think you will find some peace and joy a bit more often. Thanks for listening.

Alan Stein Jr. (@AlanSteinJr) had a couple of things posted that caught my eye. This first one is right on target about being aware of where our focus is going when dealing with people. He mentions: “When you can shift your focus to what you want FOR people instead of what you want FROM people, it's an absolute game changer.” One of his famous sayings is here too: “A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.” It’s powerful to imagine more people focusing on these points and the great things that can happen for people when we take these views and put them into play in life.

I found this post from The Winning Difference (@thewinningdiff1) and it really hit home for me. It’s asking are we T.O.U.G.H. enough with each of the letters standing for something connected to the skills and abilities that we need throughout life (and in sports too). These got me thinking as I looked in the mirror as I’m standing in my living room recording studio. Things like this help me to keep striving to get better and improve and I hope the same is for you.

Powerful Monday thought coming from Jon Gordon (@jongordon11) and it is under his “#MindsetMonday” marker. He shares this thought about winning the day! “Don’t worry about tomorrow. Just win today and the next day and the day after that. That’s how you win the future. Day by day.” I shared this on Twitter / X for being a simple formula. “Pile up WINS. Even the little ones that nobody sees or knows about - but you will know.” Taking care of things every day, little things matter too… where we tell ourselves we are going to do something - we need to do it! Pile up wins and that way our days get better (weeks and months do too). Then remember, our pasts become better too. When we lean on our pasts as our own best personal mentor, good things can come from this too. We start having much better “self talks” with ourselves because we can remind ourselves that we followed through with things and we are worthy of great things happening. Thanks for listening.

Listening to John O’Leary’s Podcast for today and it sure got me thinking about some things. If you have followed me for any length of time, you know that John’s “Live Inspired Podcast” connects with me in a powerful way. Listen to this episode titled, “Fingerprints Don’t Fade” - find it HERE. He reminds us about his story and the “fingerprints” that healthcare workers (namely nurses) leave on their patients as far as the care & love shown to them in their time of need. He recalls the story of when he was in the hospital after his burn accident where he recalls a very powerful moment when a nurse saved his life again, simply by being there and doing her job when the hospital lost power and his incubator was not working. Amazing stories here. But this got me thinking really on how all of us leave “fingerprints” with those that are in our lives - no matter what our occupation is. If we can remember this, maybe we might be more intent on making sure we are more positive, caring, patient, etc., with the people we deal with in life. Hope this gets you thinking like it did me. Make sure you check out John O’Leary’s podcast and if you have any interaction with him - make sure you tell him that I sent you. 😃 Thanks for listening.

Saw a great post from Damon West (@damonwest7) - remember, he’s the co-author of “The Coffee Bean” with Jon Gordon (@jongordon11). This powerful reminder comes with a video too… check it out HERE. Some reminders for all of us that we all can take “extreme ownership” in our lives that can help us to own our mistakes and to get us thinking better. Awesome lesson to not only remind ourselves about, but to also share with others. Thanks for listening.

Leaning on “The Traveler’s Gift” by Andy Andrews again. I know that I lean on things like this a lot when recording these episodes, but to me when I read one of the lessons - I’m in a different spot in life and the message I get hits me differently. That different reason is something that I usually need to think differently about and maybe you do too. Having a decided heart is something I need to work on every day, not just Thursdays. Creating a new habit of facing problems or issues and not putting them off, is something I know I can get better at and I am working towards doing that. Hope you are too. Thanks for listening.
