“Send Coach John a message” I found a couple of gems this morning, both coming from Gary Vaynerchuk  (@garyvee).  The first is a short video clip where he is having a conversation with a young kid and her mom, reminding the kid that she is capable of learning to do things to help herself out with her Youtube channel editing.  The simplicity of reminding her (and us) that we learned how to do thing...

“Send Coach John a message” I’m not sure why lessons from rivers have been a thing lately, but Bob Starkey (@CoachBobStarkey) had a post that deals with both persistence and resilience thoughts all from what a river does all the time.  “A river only breaks through rock because it shows up everyday.”  Just keep showing up like a river and go around, over, through, under, etc., the “rocks” that we f...

“Send Coach John a message” I was lucky to find this one in my scrolling for knowledge.  I found it from Book Therapy (@Book_therapy223) and the powerful thought is this:  “You’ve already survived so much.  Don’t let this moment convince you to quit.”  Whatever you are working on, there will be a moment soon that will get you thinking about quitting.

It comes from The Motivational Quotes (@MQUOTESLIFE) and the to-do item is this:  “Sometimes rest is the most productive thing you can do.”  One reason I see this as a good thing is that I’m getting older and so I can justify it a bit more.  But I’m also seeing the...
