Coach John Daly - Coach to Expect Success - Podcasts

This book is one that I know I will be recommending to many people. As I  continue to read Jon Gordon's latest book, “The 7 Commitments of a Great Team”, the lessons that are available for all of us remind me that I need to simply just work on getting better every single day. I hope, since you are listening to this podcast and probably others, that you want to keep improving too.  In this final part 5 of 5 Ways to Stay Positive, this one is titled “Talk to yourself. Don't listen to yourself.” Remember there is the acronym of LIGHT for these 5 steps and this is the final one, the “T”.  This is one of my favorites because I need this reminder every single day!  Instead of letting my own negative & self-defeating voice direct my day, I need to talk to myself and be my own biggest encourager & cheerleader!!  Since we are the thoughts that we think & believe, we might as well be thinking and believing our best!!  I can't believe the negative ones, I need to connect with & live out the positive ones. Nobody is going to do this for me, I need to speak these into existence into my own life.  Love these reminders of these 5 lessons.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

This book is a good one. As I  continue to read Jon Gordon's latest book, “The 7 Commitments of a Great Team”, the lessons that are available for all of us are powerful and life-changing.  In part 4 of 5 Ways to Stay Positive, this one is titled “Have Faith.” Remember there is the acronym of LIGHT for these 5 steps and this one is the “H”.  When it comes down to it, Faith helps us to connect with the idea that things are going to get better. Of course we need to understand that challenges will come along in life.. Many of them of course… but we also need to understand (and believe) that we will overcome them.  Love this line from the book - “Trust that struggle leads to strength and setbacks lead to comebacks.” This is something that I need to work on for sure. John O'Leary (https://johnolearyinspires.com/) says it all the time, that we should believe that “the best is yet to come.”   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

As I gladly continue to read Jon Gordon's latest book, “The 7 Commitments of a Great Team”, I am fired up about continuing to gather so many life lessons. In part 3 of 5 Ways to Stay Positive, this one is titled “Get To.” Remember there is the acronym of LIGHT for these 5 steps and this one is the “G”.  This one is right to my heart as Jon reminds us about when we find ourselves complaining - which I still need to work on - we need to remind ourselves that we “get to” do things in our miracle of life, instead of “having to do” them.  When we are able to focus on Gratitude, we can move from being selfish, frustrated, and stressed to more of an attitude of gratitude, appreciation and abundance.  I love this reminder: “Research shows that you can't be stressed and thankful at the same time. If you are feeling grateful, you won't feel stressed.”  He is 100% on target. I just need to do it a bit more often, every day!! I am working on it so it becomes more of a habit.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

As I continue to read Jon Gordon's new book, “The 7 Commitments of a Great Team”, I continue to pick up so many life lessons. In part 2 of 5 Ways to Stay Positive, this one is titled “Inside Out.” Remember there is the acronym of LIGHT for these 5 steps and this one is the “I”.  Jon reminds us that the real truth and power of our lives comes from inside us, not from the outside world. I love this point that he brings up that as we create our life from the inside out, it's all about our spirit, our soul, our passion, and our power from within us. This is why it's always so important to keep working on ourselves,all throughout life! Keep improving, it's the way to go!!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

I just got started reading Jon Gordon's new book, “The 7 Commitments of a Great Team”, and it's got some powerful lessons in it. Since teams are always a part of life, and it's not just sports, I wanted to share these 5 parts of Staying Positive. Over the next five days I'll be sharing some of my thoughts from his book.  He's all talking about “living LIGHT.” I'll explain what that means throughout this coming week. To start us off,  part 1 is all about “Love instead of Fear”. He brings up a couple of great points. Jon reminds us that Love puts a shadow on fear and helps to get rid of it.  Fears are out to weaken us, put limits on us and strikes doubt all around us. Remember, Love is a choice! Contrary to what some people think - love is a big-time strength, not a weakness like some people think. I feel bad for those people that think it's a weakness.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

From a classic difference maker that has helped millions of people, this longtime golden advice comes from the great Jim Rohn and it's shared by Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) where Jim reminds us to “Go for the pain of discipline, it weighs ounces. The pain of regret weighs tons.”  Every time I hear or read this quote, it hurts. I have let things go for a long time where regrets are starting to get bigger. I've known it for 25 years or so on things that I wanted to create, go after, build, try, etc. All I can do - all any of us can do, is to use today to do something about those things. The discipline to do something today will be for sure easier than to try it later as we get older. Lot's of personal reflections for me here in this one. Hope it helps you too.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

I came across a great post that had an interesting connection of things that people connect to gratitude. From Roseann | Keep On Going Motivations (@Motivateme247) shared this thought: “If you can't find joy in a cup of coffee, you won't find it in a yacht. Gratitude treats all things the same.” I love my coffee and I have always found joy, solitude, peace, etc., with my coffee. For sure, I don't want a yacht or anything that can be labeled as fancy. No problem if that gives you incentive for life, but that's not for me at all.  A few good thoughts (I thought) in this episode.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

I found a couple of posts that really focused on some points that I think we need to have more examples of in our world.  The first one was from Motivational Quotes (@motivational) where we are reminded about some things that really “Speaks loudest” when it comes to helping to make a difference with others.  This post goes on to share these things that do have a “loud voice”: “It's not your wallet, your title or your status. It's how you treat others that speak the loudest.” The second connection came from Coach AJ  Mental Fitness (@coachajkings) where he shares this classic reminder from one of the greats of any sport and all of history -   “John Wooden said, “Helping others is perhaps the greatest joy! You cannot have a perfect day without helping others with no thought of getting something in return.” Acts of service enrich our lives. It means selflessness, kindness, and serving. Serving is a reward by itself.” Awesome thoughts for all of us to be better for ourselves and for others too!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

This one stood out to me because I know I have fears and I know they are getting in the way of me living my life to the fullest.  It comes from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) and it's a short but powerful reminder: “The fears we don't face become our limits.” - Robin Sharma.  I have had things getting in my way for 20 + years and to top that off, not only do I know about them - a few of my best friends know it too. You see, they have been around me that long, always encouraging me that I can do these things, but the final decision needs to come from me. Another key element. Since it's been 20 or so years, I look ahead to another 20 years.  Yikes!!  I'll be just around the corner (if I'm blessed enough to see this corner) from turning 80 years old!!!! Time waits for nobody!!  I don't have all the time in the world where we think we do sometimes.  I will continue to try and “talk to myself, rather than listen to myself” in going after whatever I have to do to get through these fears. When I step back a bit, they really are not that big of a deal for sure.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Again, it happened again. A message that not only I needed to see, but that I have been reminded about it from different places. This time it came from Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) where this message was shared: “You will never hear another person's voice more than you hear your own. Be intentional about the way that you talk to yourself.”  It's an old saying that I have heard for a long time, but since I needed it as recently as this morning, I needed to share it with you. It's connected with - “talk to yourself rather than listen to yourself.”  Most of the time when I'm feeling down about things in life, I start listening to the critic inside of me, instead of the coach and cheerleader!  I know I need to continue to tap into that coach & cheerleader, without me having to wait for this quote coming back into my life.  It's something I know I need to do, want to do, and will do!!  How about you?  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Found a post about some really good advice that I have heard shared from others too. This one came from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) where they shared: “The best weight you will ever lose is the weight of other people's opinions of you.”  I have always remembered the line that reminds us that opinions are like people's backsides, everyone has one. The world seems to be never short of others' opinions and it can be tough to not only filter through them, but to also not let them get to us. Having confidence in ourselves in things we want to do helps to focus on what we can control and not worry so much about the opinion of others. Our lives and our troubles can lighten up a bit when we get rid of those opinions from others.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Saw another great post that had a very simple, yet powerful reminder for all of us and it came from POSITIVITY (@PositivitySaid) “Just enjoy life. You will never be this young again.”  I sat back to let this sink in a bit and it reminds me to try and do the most with every day that I have. The things that I want to do, need to do, get to do, etc., and as I get older, some of those things (and many others), will only get more difficult with age and time adding up.  It's true for all of us - make sure we remind ourselves of this point every day!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Love getting reminded about things that I can keep working on. Things that I know I need to keep working on. Thanks Coach Ray Ostrowski (@CoachRayO3313) “The true test… even when things aren't going your way, find a way to make it happen anyway.” These were his thoughts and there is much more to this as you will hear in this episode.  These are things that we all can work on. Not much more important things in life than our character. Something to guard for sure, all throughout life!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Found a great post from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) “A reminder:  Bigger dreams call for healthier habits and healthier habits require more self discipline.” This is something for sure I needed to see, read, hear, think, do, etc., more of in my life. I love the simple fact that we can work on our dreams, work on our habits along with working on our self-discipline. This is, of course, easier said than done. But at least, we can for sure  control these three.  We are for sure better off taking care of these ourselves, instead of letting others or the world make those decisions for you.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

It's spring time, trees are growing & blooming… saw a great post with wonderful connections to trees.  Inspiration & More (@LifeWithJohn) reminded all of us to “Be like a tree. Stay grounded. Connect with your roots. Turn over a new leaf. Enjoy your unique, natural beauty. Keep growing.” - Joanne Raptis.  Each one of these connections to being like a tree has many examples of how we can be like a tree. Nature as a whole can always teach us some great lessons.  This one really got me thinking and I hope the points I bring to you help you in some way.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Timing seems to be everything when you need a reminder that things are going to be ok, even when I get down on myself and I wonder if I will get through the troubles I'm dealing with.  Well then a couple of things - first I saw this post from Positively Present (@positivepresent) “Some of the best moments are coming… The film of your life is still playing. Some of the best moments of your life are still to come.” A wonderful reminder for me that “my movie” is still being played out and better things are coming. The second thing - it always seems to happen where I get a text, a call, an email or a message on social media from someone reaching out and lifting my spirits. I did the same to a colleague last week and then in a conversation with that colleague this past weekend, I found out the perfect timing of my message was when him and his family were dealing with something that recently had happened. Then the morning of this recording, a former student of mine reached out thanking me for our time together in my classes before she graduated 7 years ago.  That was a big uplift for me on this challenging day. Read the quote again from above - better days are coming for you too!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Well, I went back to back with today's thoughts - leaning on The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) again, because I saw an important need to share this. I know I need this reminder on a daily basis, and I know others do too.  This message is “Let It Go.  If you can't do anything about it then let it go. Don't be a prisoner to the things you can't change.” This is something that I've been focusing in on that if I'm looking back too often on things that I've done, not done, said, didn't say, etc., that I need to grab onto the lesson to help me be better & then move on.  Again, where are my feet at? I'm here. Right now, I'm where I'm at.  The choices I've made in my life have helped to guide me where I'm at today.  That's what I need to focus on, so that my day can be great and that helps my tomorrows be great too.  That way I will have a better connection to my past, a stronger one, one that has a more powerful & positive impact on my future, “todays”.  Again, this message hit me strong, so I figured that others might find it helpful too.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Found a great reminder - a simple reminder that I know I need and I think the entire world needs too.  It comes from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) and the message is:  “Being a good person does not depend on your religion, status in life, race, skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how you treat others.” So much of what we see on how some people treat others - it's a horrible lesson of what not to do. It seems humans have never gotten this lesson right. I, of course, am one of those humans that needs to work on this “skill”, “choices”, “habits”, etc. One thing I will be doing, every day - is to try and get better on how I treat others and this starts with me treating me, much better than what I've been doing. Hope this helps you too.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Found another post that I really thought was created just to show me. However, I didn't see my name attached to it, but it sure felt like it was. This came from Succeeded Mind (@SucceededMind) and here it is:  “Either you go after the life you want, or you settle for the life you get.”  This made me do a deep reflection on at first I still need to “go after” more and create more of what I want in life.  But then, while recording this episode, it hit me that I have AN INCREDIBLY AWESOME LIFE with my wife, kids, my family, along with my profession of being a lifelong educator and coach!! So for me to settle for my life (I'm in love with my life), but … I know I can keep getting better at this life I love so much, that's for sure.  I hope you can make a connection to some of these points for the life you want or already have parts of it. One thing for sure, we don't have as much time as we think we do.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

When I saw this post from Self-Care Canvas (@selfcarecanvas) it of course came to me as so many people are showing themselves to be the exact opposite (multiple times a day) of this quote: “Be humble and never think you are better than anyone else.  We all leave this world with nothing.”  It's both sad to me and also amazing how so many don't get this simple, yet valuable point.  I know / I believe that we do leave with the love & relationships that we had for others in our lifetime! We leave that behind for others too. Now, I also believe that the world has SO MANY examples of people living lives that are not humble, not serving others, not showing kindness & empathy, etc. So we have plenty of examples of what we don't want to be in life. We need to be the example for others as to a better way to live our lives. Again, sorry for getting fired up and emotional with this episode, but I'm beginning to see things with a bit more clarity every single day!!  I hope this helps you to do the same.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

I found a super strong & powerful post that got me fired up and it only has seven words to it. This came from the Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) “Strong people rarely have an easy past.”  As I got to thinking about this, I started seeing myself in a way that I usually don't see myself at all.  I realize I'm a lot stronger than I give myself credit for due to the “storms” I have been through.  It also occurred to me that I am a lot stronger and better because of the storms that my loved ones have gone through as well. This episode I got a bit fired up and emotional (I know, big surprise… LOL) as I really started to see myself and my loved ones in not only a different light, but a much stronger & clearer light too!! I hope this episode shows you about the true statement from Morrie Schwartz, from Mitch Albom's “Tuesdays With Morrie” - where he reminded us that “death ends a life, not a relationship.” If we keep working on our relationships in life, and not what the world tells us is important, we will keep getting stronger for sure.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

WOW.. this one hit me hard… right in the heart.  It came from liminal (@Liminal1988) and it's a note that is titled “Dear Younger Me.”  It starts out “You didn't know many things. You didn't know how life would turn out, or why certain things were happening to you. And that's ok….” and the last couple of lines “.... You're still learning, still healing. There's always something good in you. There was always something special about you. Then, and even now.”  This got me thinking about my younger self and how that part of me (all the parts of my younger self) is still with me. The saying of how our past is our best mentor still rings true. I think it becomes even more valuable and special, when we are able to connect it to the memories, feelings, emotions, etc., of our younger self(s). Make sure you look this one up & take it to heart to make changes that you can connect with for your life!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Found a  great post from Inspiration & More (@LifeWithJohn) where we were reminded that we always need to  “Always remember that there is a strength within you that is greater than any storm.” Since we all face storms, this is something we all need to remember - we have been through tough times & we will continue to go through them.  Since again, our Past is our best mentor, we can lean on those experiences that we have been through. As I thought about this more and more, I felt better about the storms that I have been through. Also remember that the storms never last!!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

This post hit home with me simply because I think we need more people pulling for others rather than hoping that others lose or have troubles.  I'm certainly trying to follow what the Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) shares here with this:  “Call me crazy but I love to see people happy and succeeding. Life is a journey, not a competition.” To me, this is a good kind of “crazy” to be - encouraging others to win in life compared to being a critic and wanting others to lose.  The world needs more people to look at celebrating others, instead of criticizing people.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Found a very cool post - another short one, but yet it's a powerful one for sure.  It has to do with the love of music. I hope I can say that just about all humans have a connection to music - ever since it's been around. This post came from Inspiration & More (@LifeWithJohn) “Kudos to music! Thank you for always clearing my head, healing my heart, & lifting my spirits. ~ A day without music is like a day without sunshine!” So many great memories came back when I saw this post and I hope this episode does the same for you. Do me a favor, reach out and let me know some of your favorite music too. Again, it's the great connector that all people have with each other.

This is something we all need at times throughout life:  liminal (@Liminal1988) “Read this when life feels overwhelming.”   There is a lot to this post where it gives us plenty of ideas on how to help ourselves to feel a bit better and more grounded when we are feeling a bit overwhelmed.  Let's face it, life can do that to all of us at any time. This post has many different connections for all of us to pay attention to.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Super reflective post here that I found from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) where we are reminded that “You can't change the people around you, but you can change the people around you. Read that again.” This reminded me that I can't change the people around me - what they say, what they think, what they do, etc. But, I can change the people around me as to who is around me, who I let influence me along with who I spend my time connecting to. In today's world, this is something I need to get stronger with for sure.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

I have been using Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) to share some of the thoughts and ideas that get posted on a frequent basis. I'm going with my heart and gut as to sharing thoughts & ideas to inspire and get people thinking about things that can make their lives a bit better. This post said this: “Humans were designed to create. This is why you get depressed when all you do is consume.”  This one connected directly to one of the biggest difference makers in my life, and I shared that in my repost comments for this:  “…  my first thought when I read this.. @MitchAlbom sharing the story of Morrie telling Mitch that taking from others made him feel like he was dying. Giving to others made him feel like he was living!!”  Things like this are what I need to keep around me as reminders for how I want to live my life!!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Coach Mark Hickie (@MPHickie)  shares his powerful thoughts  “A message for today … When it's meant for you, it brings a sense of ease. It doesn't leave you questioning your worth or peace of mind. Your soul recognizes what is right for you by how it feels when you're in its presence. If it costs you your inner calm, it's too expensive.” There are some good things to take with us from this episode for sure. It reminds us that if things cost us our peace in life, it's probably something we don't need to connect with.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

It's so easy to keep connecting with posts from great people - Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard) is someone who I keep leaning on for sure.  This one reminds us: “If you don't make time for your wellness. You will be forced to make time for your illness. Read that again.”  This one really got me feeling like I need to have that intentional focus for my wellness. It's true, it's one or the other as our choices really do take us towards our wellness or illness. Great focus post for sure.

Found a quick yet thought provoking post from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) which shared this:  “Nothing is scarier than avoiding your full potential.” A quick wake up and yet kind of hurtful reminder for me. It got me thinking about the thought of towards the end of our lives - even after we die, spending eternity looking into the “mirror of regret” for eternity, as to the person we could have been.  No way! No how,  do I want any part of that thought. I need to keep moving forward. Little steps. Action for sure is better than holding back!

Once again, it's funny (or by design) that I saw a posting for a connection of something that I went through this morning - any many other mornings. It was great advice for me to keep focusing on this, taking back control of what I was focusing on.  Our attention is something that is of great value and I know I need to keep looking to take care of my energy and where it's going along with what I let affect it too.

Saw a very “reflective” post that got me thinking about some things and as always, I hope it gets you thinking too. From Mind Essentials (@Mind_Essentials) where they share the thought that “you cannot see your reflection in boiling water.  Similarly, you cannot see the truth in a state of anger. When the water calms, clarity comes.”  This reminded me of the fact that there is much work I still need to do.  It's something that I choose to work on. Something I get to work on.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Simple message today, but not only did I need to see this, I needed to share it too. (@Loveandfear) shared this gem, what is called a Gentle Reminder: “Be someone who still tries. After failure, frustrations, and heartache - be a person who musters up the courage to try and believe that good things are yet to come.”  Yep… I needed to be reminded about simply trying. Not giving up. Not getting stuck inside my own head and not getting in my own way of doing things, going after my dreams, etc. It sure is easy to let the world get in the way. I am choosing to try and keep moving forward despite all the obstacles life (and myself) throw in my way. I can work on what I throw in my way & I can work on how I react to what life tosses around at me.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Score another great post from liminal (@Liminal1988) where we are reminded about a very simple thought:  “Do a good job.”  With this thought, it's all about no matter what we do in life. Whatever calling / profession we have, simple & powerful… do a good job! It's something that I know I need to work on for sure.  One part really stuck with me: “Fully invest yourself in the things you're tending to.”  I got to tell you. Here I am, in my very late 50's in age and I know I still have so much more to do & accomplish. This is helping me to not only see a future podcast episode or two, but also it's inspiring me to keep sharing these messages. Wow.. morning reflections as I'm putting this show together - with my morning coffee… all equals out to some good stuff.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Saw a remarkable post from Steve Harvey (@IAmSteveHarvey) where he said “I came across a quote that said: ‘The most valuable math you can learn is how to calculate the future cost of your current decisions.' Think about that.”  Well Steve, I am thinking about this.  It all balances in with doing things today, right now, so that my future self will be proud AND for me to keep being in the moment (where my two feet are) and doing my best in that moment. I just want to (and need to) keep making good choices, to build the kind of life that I can be proud of. If I do this, I know those that are around me will benefit as well.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Found a great reminder for me to go a bit easier on myself along with having some gratitude thrown my way from a couple of good friends - Denyse and Erica.  The post came from Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) “When things go wrong, take a moment to be thankful for what's going right.”  A really small & not any type of emergency mistake happened… caused by me, but I quickly found a solution AND I made a quick adjustment about not beating myself up about it either. Offering myself some grace when needed, on top of fixing the goof that I caused, helps me to get back on track with my day. Hope this helps you and I hope you don't mind me having my co-host (our dog), help with a lesson during the recording.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Since it's spring, this post from Mind Essentials (@Mind_Essentials) sure stands out for all of us to take a look at. It caught my eye for sure. It said: “Some days you bloom, some days you grow roots. Both matter.” This got me thinking that I simply need to keep doing things in my life to grow my roots. To become stronger. To keep improving in all areas of my life. People don't usually see our “root system".” They do see our “bloom”. Our bloom is great as it's what helps us to make connections to others. However, if we don't take care of our roots, our blooms will not last. Interesting post that got me thinking differently and I hope it helps you to pick up something that can help you out too.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

I saw this post that I shared with some students I'm working with, mainly because it made me think about how I needed this reminder too.  Also, I keep telling students, the earlier they grasp onto some of these lessons, they will have so many opportunities come their way that many adults never, ever see. This came from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) where it was shared -”Punctuality is not about being on time, it's basically about respecting your own commitments.”  Sure being on time is important, but what's even more important is us to see that it is directly connected to how we see ourselves as being worthy of the effort. The things & people that we need to connect with, those take time.  If I value who I am, where I want to go, what I want to build my life to be, who I want to add value to, etc., I will make sure I will be “on time” for those things. For many of those things, it's a simple matter of “I'll actually do those things”. I will follow up with myself because I promised myself (and others) that I'd do something. I need to think of myself with such value that I'll find a way to see that it's really something we need to & get to, DO… for our own goals and dreams. Why keep “showing up late” in our own life??  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

After a great phone call with my buddy, and fellow podcast enthusiast, Coach Dave - I saw this posting that reminded me of so many things.  Once again from Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) ”There's a story behind every person. There is a reason why they're the way they are. Think about that before you judge someone.”  So many simple reminders for me to not only stop judging people who I may not agree with, have said and done things that I may not like - and especially not judging myself so harshly!  We have opportunities every single day - in fact many moments of every day to judge less, as we all have so many reasons why we do what we do. One thing for sure is that I know I have plenty to work on to keep trying to improve, every day I have!!

Good one that I picked up from Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) “Life is like a book. Some chapters are sad, some are happy and some are exciting, but if you never turn the page, you will never know what the next chapter has in store for you.” This has been something on my radar a bit lately - when I'm in a funk, beating myself up, in a bad mood, etc., I have been trying to turn the page a bit quicker, instead of reading the page over and over.  My book has plenty of “old chapters” and they are meant to help with sharing lessons of my past so that my present day can help me with my future. So many times I have not turned my page and I know I need to do it. I think we all can pick up some ideas from this one.

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.

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 that are outside of us, things that the world may throw at us - even other people throw at us; we can't get caught up thinking those things are more important.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

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 trying to be our best in so many areas of our lives. It's something that I know I need to do more of for sure. Hope this helps you in your journey too.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

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. When it comes to cheating, we can't put anything over that person that is always with us.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

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!!

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 more grace - as I keep trying to move forward. Little wins mean a lot each and every day!! That's all we need to focus on, or at least try.

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 cost for success is always increasing.” He shared a quote too that connects with his thoughts and again, remind all of us that we have some choices that we can make for ourselves that will tremendously help ourselves too.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

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 had to pull over in the car to record this as I was not home to do this.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

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 got me thinking about a lot of things to get excited about in my life. A cup of coffee, doing this podcast, spending time with my wife and family & friends, etc. This also got me thinking about John O'Leary's interview with Carlos Whittaker - where they have a great conversation on the lost art of having a real connection to our lives! A big part of being happy is discussed in this episode. Find it on John's site HERE. You can also watch it live on Youtube HERE. Amazing connections in this episode with this post that I found. I urge you to take some time to listen to this episode from John O'Leary and also to follow him - the man is an authentic difference maker.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

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 and continue to focus on my burn / purpose for getting things done and creating things to help others (along with myself.) An overwhelming feeling and connection to this post, was from Mitch Albom's book, “Tuesdays With Morrie”, where Morrie (Mitch's college professor), shared this (paraphrased) thought: “Why would I take all the time? Taking makes me feel like I'm dying. Giving makes me feel like I'm Living!”  I want to keep becoming unstoppable and things like this thought, helps me to at least have my best shot at doing just that!  Join me in not jumping in any mud-pits today!!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.
