“Send Coach John a message” Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard) has got to be doing something right as it’s the second time today that I made a connection with this person.  “Switching your mentality from “why is this happening to me” to “what is this trying to teach me” is a game changer.” Just a slight change in perspective to things that happen to everyone. Every single day. Since we all can control...

“Send Coach John a message” This person is on a bigtime winning streak with the posts… Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard) reminded me to keep battling with the distractions that are around in my life. I’ve let distractions win parts of just about every day in my life.  If I don’t separate from them, they will get in the way of me going after things that I know I can do / need to do.  In today’s world t...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a short but sweet reminder about a few things from Jon Acuff (@JonAcuff) where he reminds us about … “A soundtrack I’m starting my week with:  If you can worry, you can wonder. If you can spin, you can soar. If you can doubt, you can dare.”  Now, this isn’t meant to only be thought about to start a week off with.  I think it’s a great reminder for any day that we...

“Send Coach John a message” Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) comes through again with a powerful lesson that I must have needed, since it hit me so hard.  I know I must keep trying to get better with this. “Those who spend their time looking for the faults in others, usually spend no time to correct their own.” I get going at times complaining about others and what they are saying or doing, instead...

“Send Coach John a message” Saw a reminder for myself and maybe for others from Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard) and it’s all about how change can be scary, but how much worse it is to let fear stop us from getting better in life.  I’ve done just that in life at times, in fact, many times!  I think that is an amazing reflection point for me.  At times I’ve taken it to be a negative and I start feelin...

“Send Coach John a message” Great stuff is all around us to get fired up & inspired by and I found this one from Sahil Bloom (@SahilBloom). It reminded me that we are all fighting some type of battle and for just about everyone, it’s more than one battle we are fighting.  The letter he shared in this post was one of course that drove me to some tears. The inspiration that comes from things lik...

“Send Coach John a message” Some recent moments have shown me that I’m starting to come to grips with some of my health battles & I need to keep making the best of things instead of getting down, sad, upset, etc.  I am trying to embrace what I have going on in order to help myself along with (like in the previous podcast), helping others. Everyone is fighting some kind of battle or even more t...

“Send Coach John a message” Mitch Albom’s Tuesday People Podcast comes through again!!  I’ve always said, Mitch would have been a great “teacher” - at any level. He became a great “teacher” once he got reconnected with his teacher, Morrie Schwartz.  This episode, Episode 209 - Find Your Vine (And Swing to a New Dream) really got me thinking about the importance of having dreams and goals and not n...

“Send Coach John a message” A bigtime post that I saw yesterday morning - needed to find that post too as I was once again, struggling a little bit.  I need to keep battling with this & Greg Berge (@gb1121) and his posts really do help.  One of his latest posts was this gem: ”Why does Gratitude Matter? - Gratitude kills worry. - Gratitude destroys fear. - Gratitude reduces stress. - Gratitude...

“Send Coach John a message” Couple things to connect here.  First of all, my longtime friend, Doug Evans posted this much needed reminder for me and for all of us: “Sending love to everyone who is trying to hear from the things they do not discuss.”  This covers all of us for sure as we are all dealing with something. Right now. Wherever we are at. We are dealing with something. The other part of...

“Send Coach John a message” This is a headquarters that we all need to be connected with and that is Gratitude HQ (@gratefuledu64). I recently saw a great post from them which read: “Let’s let others know they are not alone, by going beyond words and taking the next step, spending time with those who feel lonely. Actions speak louder than words…and can make the greatest difference!”  There is a po...

Success is...

“Send Coach John a message” I stumbled across a legend in the personal development / self improvement world.  Jim Rohn mentioned this key to life - “Go for the pain of discipline because it weighs ounces. The pain of regret weighs tons.”  I’ve known about this quote, heck, I’ve shared this quote for so many years with my students. I am connected to it better at some moments in time, and others, I...

“Send Coach John a message” While doing some quick shopping yesterday, I got a little wet.  But you know what? It was all good.  I saw a quote that I connected with this. It reminded us “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass..it’s about learning to dance in the rain.” - Vivian Green.  I had a smile on my face in the rain in the parking lot. It was kind of fun as I put the groceries into t...

“Send Coach John a message” I found a very thought provoking post about really 3 things that we have total control over.  It came from Sports Psychology (@SportPsychTips) and they shared this: “Motivation leads to discipline. Discipline leads to habits. Habits lead to success.” While I was having some coffee, I came across this reminder for me (and all of us) that our motivation, discipline and ha...

“Send Coach John a message” Found another powerful and life-changing thought here form Melanie Korach (@melanie_korach). Part of her message “Think about this. Even the smallest step you take today can influence your path tomorrow. You don’t need to get out there and make a lot of noise. Sometimes all you need to do is quietly take a step in the right direction to blaze a trail that changes your l...

“Send Coach John a message” Found another gem to share with you.  Alan Stein, Jr. scores again!! (@AlanSteinJr) shares this powerful reminder “Any energy you waste on something in the past means you don't have that energy to invest in the present moment where you can still make a difference.”  This is becoming not only more clear to me, the times I do waste energy on things that I can’t contr...

“Send Coach John a message” I came across a well timed posting from Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard), where it helped me to remember to stand tall like trees do.  It said:  “There’s a Japanese legend that says, If you feel like you’re losing everything, remember, trees lose their leaves every year, yet they still stand tall and wait for better days to come.”  There are plenty of times where I’m feeli...

“Send Coach John a message” Saw a great post from one of my favorites, Alan Stein Jr. ( @AlanSteinJr ) who reminds us that “You will never find the time for anything. If it is important, you will make the time for it.”  I’ve been reminded about this a few times recently, one of those times was from notes I took where John O’Leary reminded us about the same truth.  I’ve been so non-intentional so m...

“Send Coach John a message” Saw another fabulous post from my friend & mentor, Coach Rich Popp (@Coach4254).  He shared this thought and I thought it was worth sharing for sure:  “Tasks for the day:  1. Be kind to others  2. Smile all day as you recognize your blessings  3. Always be thankful for your life. Billions, yes billions dream to live a life like yours. Peace” First of all, he’s right...

“Send Coach John a message” I have realized … again… that I need these positive & powerful reminders every single stinking day!!  They are little nudges in the right direction that I need to choose to make a part of my everyday input.  Ben Newman (@ContinuedFight), check out Ben’s website HERE.   He posted this into our group (The Mental Toughness Academy) where he reminded us saying… “Why not...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a great post from Kevin DeShazo (@KevinDeShazo) and he shared this great thought from the incredible Jim Rohn and it’s all about nudging ourselves in the right direction.  It reminds us about having determination and discipline so that we can change for the better, instead of wishing or hoping that hard things will get easier.  Powerful stuff to stay plugged into....
