“Send Coach John a message”

Wonderful lessons from the past for me and it comes from a bigtime difference maker, Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) where he shared this quote: “We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.” — Randy Pausch. Mark then shared his thoughts on this - “Absolutely right! I humbly admit that I am not in charge of everything but I am in charge of how I respond to life’s setbacks, challenges & curveballs.” Not only did this connect with me right now (because I needed this reminder), but it also connected to me deeply from the fact that I used this to share with my students too. Here was my response to Mark’s post - Coach John Daly (@coachtosuccess) “Powerful reminder @MPHickie - I shared Dr. Randy Pausch’s story and his life-enhancing lessons with my classes (especially in my Principles of Leadership classes). My students would always share with me what a difference-maker he was for them.” Awesome memories with incredibly powerful lessons for this teacher, who always knows I need to be more like a student and keep applying lessons learned. As it’s been said - Lesson repeated until lesson learned. Keep learning my friends. Thanks for listening.

“Send Coach John a message”

Powerful and simple reminder for today, again one that I needed to take to heart as I see the total truth in it. It comes from Chris Foster (@CoachC_Foster) and the message is this: “Instead of being ashamed of what you’ve been through, be proud of what you have overcome.” Wow!! Yep… when I sit back and look at viewing my life from the point of view of what I’ve overcome and NOT being ashamed of the “self-shameful” moments, I start seeing a whole new (and true) view of myself. I have a smile on my face. I sit up a bit taller with my shoulders back a bit more. I see myself in a much more positive manner. This is right on target to connect with a lot more often, if not doing it every single day!! Thanks for listening.

“Send Coach John a message”

I found a great post from Coach AJ / Mental Fitness (@coachajkings) “The real fear shouldn't be action - it should be inaction.” There is a very deep post here that I will post on my social media channels for you to take a longer look at these thoughts on this very important life topic. It ties into Friday’s show dealing with regret and discipline. The intro quote from Coach John Wooden is a key part of this. “You’re going to fail on occasions. But the greatest failure of all is failure to act when action is needed… You have to act knowing that at times you will fail… that’s the greatest - absolutely the greatest - fault of all is failure to act when action is needed.” Powerful thoughts that go with this from Coach AJ. Again, for me this is a huge reminder as I stated when I reposted this: “One of the biggest (and truest) reminders that I know I needed to re-connect with! The “key” for me is to have this truth be a part of my everyday life. I have plenty of examples from my past where I didn’t try & plenty where I did. Always learning & growing! Thanks Coach AJ!” I hope you can make a big connection with this episode as well. Thanks for listening.
