"You don't have to be great to get started, but you must get started to ever become great." - Johnnie Williams III -
In this first official episode of The Think About It...podcast, the host Johnnie Williams discusses the importance of taking a chance in life.
This podcast has activated a journey focused upon thought and courageous conversations. Each episode promises a unique qu...
"My dreams flourish at night, then fade in the reality of the daylight, so now I allow myself time to daydream." - Johnnie Williams III -
This thought was the most accurate portrayal of how I have operated for years and years. I believe our minds are like 3D printers that can actually manifest nearly anything into existence. But, this personal power often produces more destructive or chaotic realit...
"Today I took my own advice, and it worked! You should try listening to your inner voice more often." - Johnnie Williams III -
I have often told students and coaching clients to write down the ideas and thoughts that come while #caughtinthought - but I didn't always do what I was suggesting. So, as this thought came to mind, I decided (8 years ago) to begin writing down all the crafty and insightful phra...
"Who you were yesterday produced today's results; use today to unlock tomorrow's doors and keep evolving." - Johnnie Williams III -
As YOU find the ideal path for your life, it is important to consider (that) - the path is not outside of YOU. The path is within YOU! And, as this suggestion is being made, let me suggest that:
- YOU are not your emotions
- YOU are not your esteem
- YOU are not your e...
“Silence allows me to coexist with anyone, but communication allows for a meaningful relationship to grow.” - Johnnie Williams III -
To be open and honest with the Tribe… this theme and thought take me back to my frustrations with a past relationship. I wasn’t frustrated because love was lacking. I was upset because our lack of communication prohibited a deeper connection from growing, and silence allowed for ye...
"Your teachers can help you find an answer... But only your heart can help you find a purpose." Johnnie Williams III
I can remember (long ago) being asked by a young boy from Detroit, Michigan...
Why are you here?
Can we really trust you?
Or - are you going to leave and not come back too?
His heartfelt question activated the passion in me and touched my heart, as this moment offered me the opportunity to embrace ...
"We all make mistakes; I'd just make sure they're new ones." Johnnie Williams III
When you become consciously aware of how unaware YOU have been, you will recognize that many mistakes that are repeated are rooted in subconscious habits... And, (5) common mistakes we often make:
1) Speaking without thinking
2) Repeating negative self-affirmations
3) Saying yes when we need to say "NO"
4) Spendi...
"Life is a lot like an airline flight... You can only carry along light baggage and you must pay extra for an upgraded seat." Johnnie Williams
I believe that we all carry different types of baggage, but there is a price to pay when taking it onto a plane and for carrying it along in life. We will (either) pay a toll in our health or in the accumulating costs of various coping methods that offer illusions of ...
“How is it that so many conversations invite truth, then make the person arriving with it feel so unwelcome?” Johnnie Williams III
This theme and Thought are a simple and powerful:
Suggestion - Watch your mouth…. Because your words and thoughts hold extreme power.
Question - Why is a truth often unwelcomed? Is it because the lie may contain some benefits?
Let’s make this quote and theme relevant to our current times….

“Inspiring others to help others is my strategic plan for changing this crazy world. It all adds up… 1+1+1 = change”. - Johnnie Williams III
This quote was created to remind us all that change will require we add up all of our efforts to equate to a necessary shift. Because we are the problem that needs solving...and we are the solution for solving the (present) problem.
The theme and quote are an interesting combinat...
“You should only live life looking forward… Because, looking back at yesterday while experiencing today is backwards living.” - Johnnie Williams III
It sounds obvious – so why am I saying or suggesting to live while living?
Are you living fully?
Are you existing barely?
Are you truly alive?
Are you holding your breath?
Are you in a state of fear?
Are you surviving till the weekend?
We need to take our minds out of reverse and...
“I’d rather fail at holding onto a bad relationship, then fail to let it go and be hurt by it.” - Johnnie Williams III
Which BATTLE do you feel justifies your engagement?
- the outer battles w/others
- the inner battles w/self
We are often lured into battles over:
Relationship issues, political differences, our children's issues, acts of disrespect, unmet desires, financial spending, family drama, lack of comprom...
“Don’t fall for the illusion of wealth… Nice things represent the money we HAD, not the money we HAVE.” - Johnnie Williams III
Why is it so difficult to keep life simple? Maybe it’s because they (the industry) made the “look of wealth and success” available to consumers to purchase or finance. But this illusion we often craft and buy into, only make the wealthy-wealthier.
It’s like chasing the wind; you’ll never catch u...
“Forget about bringing something to the table… Today, winners are putting something on the plate.” - Johnnie Williams III
Ask yourself... Is it your time?
Ask yourself... Is this going to be your year?
I want you to win – but not at the expense of someone else having to lose. We all win each and every time one of us improves something about ourselves (our inner selves - that is). The outer more cosmetic changes only ser...
“People don’t fall in love; they fall in action – and that love will fade as your actions turn to in-action.” - Johnnie Williams III
We must work for it… (Love that is) Some of the ways in which I try to display L.O.V.E. is to:
L. listen to them
O. offer my respect
V. value who they are
E. encourage they grow
There are no shortcuts to the real thing with the right one for you. So, stop rushing an emotion that requires time ...
“None of us can outrun our past, nor can any of us catch the future. I suggest pacing yourself with the flow of today.” - Johnnie Williams III
This quote was crafted to spare you the time I have wasted toiling over a painful past that my thoughts, findings, and opinions can do nothing about. And as a visionary, I have squandered so many moments on the thought of future possibilities.
“I’ve learned that being right has never done anything for my relationships but getting it right has done everything for them.” -Johnnie Williams III
I was often told to work it out as I was growing up. Whether it be sibling issues, homework equations I needed help with, fights with friends, co-worker disagreements, or life challenges.
Are you getting it all wrong trying to be right? (Y/N)
Play with this analogy I’ve de...
"Energy wasted on worry has never solved a problem; identify your solutions and invest energy there." - Johnnie Williams III
Some say FEAR is false evidence appearing real, while others feel it is future events artificially realized. But, I feel that FEAR is rooted in:
- Family/Friend engagements
- Enemies we now need to confront
- Addictions that we use to avoid or cope
- Reali...
