For someone like me who needs some advice to fight the laziness that pops up here and there for me in life, this list from Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) - “You Will Never Be Lazy After Reading This” list of 7 items.  Dial in to the episode to get the 7.  I needed these reminders as one of the biggest ones for me deals with having self discipline. All of these tie into each other and they sure do tie into hopefully all of us looking to g...

Found a great reminder from Mind Essentials (@Mind_Essentials)and it’s all centered with an egg as the reminder. It’s wrapped around in this truth - “If an Egg is Broken by outside force, Life ends. If Broken by inside force, Life begins. Great things always begin from inside.”  It’s a good thing to remember that life is an inside - out job. We can control things that we have control of - things that are inside ourselves. Things th...

Saw an awesome quote from a football legend that really got me thinking.  "... we will chase perfection, and we will chase it relentlessly, knowing all the while we can never attain it. But along the way, we shall catch excellence." ~ Vince Lombardi.  There are a few hashtags that came with this that go along with this mindset. #WinTheDay #StackWinningDays and #StandardsOverFeelings.  So many awesome things to tie into tr...

Saw another post that was deserving to be shared. It comes from a fabulous educator and coach that you have heard from before. Coach Ray Ostrowski (@CoachRayO3313) reminds all of us that “You get what you put in. You can’t cheat the Grind.” Remember, the Grind is something we all have to deal with as it’s not the same for everybody. One thing for sure, we need to have conversations with the person in the mirror staring back at us. ...

Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) “Be the reason why people believe in beautiful souls, kind hearts, and good energy.” I saw this and it made an impact on me … again… as I see not only the world needs more of this, but that I need to be more like this!  It’s a simple message of never stop being a good person.  Good things will come your way and the people that you love and they love you, will appreciate you being your best!! Th...

I found a super impactful reminder from Simon Sinek, where he reminded us that: “The goal is not to be perfect by the end. The goal is to be better today.” Powerful reminder about not only that “perfect” isn’t attainable, but also that we can’t do much about the past & future - we have the present moment to focus on and do something with. For me, this got me thinking about beating myself up less and offering myself a bit mo...

Found a great lesson, a powerful reminder - and once again it’s coming from a former student of mine. From Coach Ray Ostrowski (@CoachRayO3313) Where he gave us some of his thoughts: “Complacency is the enemy of progress. We cannot grow satisfied with what we did yesterday & expect to be better tomorrow. It’s about the work you put in right now. If you truly want to be special, you have to be willing to sacrifice today! The cos...

Saw a great post that for sure connects with me and maybe others too.  Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) reminds us to keep this in mind: “I am slowly becoming the person I should’ve been a long time ago.”  It’s a reminder to just keep going. Just keep trying. To not get down knowing that maybe we are not doing things we said we're going to do, wanted to do, promised to do, etc. Powerful stuff for me and maybe for you. I h...

Just about everyone is looking to be a bit more happy in life and I am one of those people. Just saw a post from liminal (@Liminal1988) where they shared this: “A big part of being happy is being excited. Be excited for everything - making a cup of tea, seeing a friend, the next episode of your favorite show, buying something you’ve been saving up for, sunsets, traveling, falling in love. Live a life you are excited about.” This go...

Saw an amazingly accurate post from Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) where this thought was shared:  “You become unstoppable when you work on things people can’t take away from you.  Things like your character, habits, mindset, and attitude.” This connected with me in a very direct way this morning as I was reflecting on things to start my day. Reading some things that help get my day started in a positive direction and allows me to try an...

Saw a great post from Daniel Pink (@DanielPink) and it came from his Tuesday wisdom:  “The World is changed by your example, not by your opinion.” - Paolo Coehlo.  Yep.. so many people express their opinions on line super easy and certainly not the same way that they would say their thoughts to people face to face.  But, we remember that opinions are like people’s backsides… everyone has one!  Our actions stand stronger. What we do...

I found this statement that simply jumped out at me from Dolphins Enlighten (@embracetruejoy) and it reminds me to just keep doing good!! This was part of it: “All it takes is one person to start and make a change for the good and impact the world greatly.”  The main part that is really simple when you look at it was this: “I cannot do all the good that the world needs. But the world needs all the good that I can do.” Each person h...

Saw a very powerful post and it’s quite a Game Plan for all of us to follow a bit more, not just on a Monday.  Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) shared this total truth:  “Deep conversations with the right people are everything.”  I saw this and started thinking back to so many of my favorite people and started to recall awesome & deep conversations with them. It brings a smile to my face, a tug on my heart and a tear to my...

In my never ending search for success clues, I found this from Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) “There are three solutions to every problem: accept it, change it, or leave it. If you can't accept it, change it. If you can't change it, leave it.” Seeing that we all have different problems, all throughout life and at different times every day, this was a good reminder to maybe reflect a little bit more on this.  It rea...

With the recent WNBA draft that I was watching, I caught a post from The Winning Difference (@thewinningdiff1) where they shared a video clip of a partial interview full of wisdom and advice that all of us (especially me) need to connect with.  “Just win every day that’s in front of you. Don’t worry about the future, don’t worry about the past, don’t worry about your mistakes. Don’t worry about anything but what you’re doing in tha...

Watching some TV yesterday I was connected to MLB celebrating Jackie Robinson Day.  There was a special on MLB channel, called “Letters from Jackie” and I was amazed at the many things that he not only did for the great sport of baseball but for our country and really the world - when it comes to race relations and the things that people were willing to fight for. These things are what we are still dealing with in our world today. ...

What a tremendous weekend of healing and watching The Masters golf tournament. The healing part - hand surgery this past Thursday. The golf part, the emotional roller coaster was so special & memorable for many reasons.  I saw this post from Shane Lowry (@ShaneLowryGolf) who was not only a competitor in the tournament and he was playing well enough for times to be looking at a possible victory, but he is also great friends with...

I found something recently that I think we all need to see. From Gratitude HQ (@gratefuledu64) #KindnessMatters “Let’s take action!”  The main thought shared is “The world is changed by your example not by your opinion.”  I think we all can agree there are way too many opinions flying around out there - especially on all forms of social media. So many of them are not really doing much good. More positive examples are needed and eac...

Found a great little quote here for all of us to focus on with trying to help others. Art of Thinking (@Art0fThinking)  mentions this great reminder: “Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.” - Plato. The world needs more encouragement, even when someone is going slower than what we think they should. Their journey is not ours, remember that. This also goes with any and all conversations that we ...
