Podcasts about Life Lessons

“Send Coach John a message”I always enjoy finding things being shared from Duke Women's Basketball (@DukeWBB) head coach, Kara Lawson. This one is titled  “I'm for me” and it is shared out there from: (@thepivot)  She's right - this may sound like it's coming from a place of arrogance, when it's really coming from a place of self-confidence.  This is something that I found a strong connection to because as of late, I'm working hard to not worry about others' opinions of me.  I need to get a better (and stronger) opinion of myself to myself!!  Other people are always going to have opinions (they are like people's “back sides” … everyone has one).. But someone else's opinion of me, doesn't have to be mine for me!! Same for you as well my friends!  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 would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”I always find posts from Inky Johnson (@inkyjohnson) to be powerful reminders for anyone willing to pay attention and listen along with really connecting to his words.  I find myself getting emotional at this one, since I know I have plenty of adversity in my life - but also realizing that there are so many people with far worse things going on than what I am facing.  I also am seeing the fact that I need to be better and do better with what he's sharing here in this short clip.  It's all about  “Adversity reveals character….”.  What are some things you can connect with from this that will help you to become better??

“Send Coach John a message”This is continuing on a journey of things I know I need to work on to keep trying to be my best.  This comes from a true All-Star, Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) I love his thoughts on this post:  “What we give is always a REFLECTION of who we are. l've learned that even when I don't receive the same reciprocity, kindness, or love, I refuse to become cold or because someone didn't know how to appreciate me. Their actions reveal their character. Mine reveal mine. Stay kind!”  What can you do with the audio file from (@LISEHAPPY_FIT)  Things like these - what can we take from them in order to keep being our own best version of us??  Lot's of work for sure - but WOW… totally worth it!!   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 would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

This week's episode is a quick one — under 10 minutes — but don't let the runtime fool you. Registered Dietitian Shanon Safi reads straight from her own journal, sharing 12 life lessons that keep surfacing every time she takes herself on a solo trip, whether that's Sedona, Hawaii, or (yes, truly) New Jersey. These lessons cover trusting your own gut, using your voice instead of shrinking in conversations, releasing responsibility for other people's emotions, setting boundaries without guilt, and knowing when a relationship isn't right before you're ready to admit it out loud. Shanon also connects the dots between "trusting your gut" as a life lesson and interoception — the literal, physiological skill of reading your own body's signals — and why rebuilding that trust matters just as much for your relationship with food as it does for your relationships with people.

Anne Jacyntha is a prominent Malaysian radio announcer, content creator, and emcee. Known for her crisp, lively voice and high-energy personality, she made history as the first female radio presenter featured on the HITZ Morning Crew which happens to be one of Malaysia's flagship English language morning breakfast radio shows. She appears on this episode of the Hello Mentor podcast to discuss: ◼ Her Unconventional Route to Radio and Having a "Fallback Plan": She explains how she fast-tracked into radio after entering an announcer search at 17, which led her to pursue a Law degree as a safety net. She shares why she briefly worked as a paralegal and legal secretary before returning to media full-time. ◼ The Mental and Physical Realities of the Breakfast Show: She opens up about the demanding lifestyle behind a 6:00 AM radio show, including daily 4:00 AM wake-ups, dealing with daily direct performance feedback ("air checks"), and the pressure of breaking into a historically male-dominated morning crew slot. ◼ Her Complex Relationship with Social Media & Privacy: Despite having a strong digital footprint as a beauty and lifestyle creator advocate for deeper skin tones, she reveals that she actually dislikes social media, avoids oversharing her personal life, and prefers consuming long-form content like documentaries. ◼ Overcoming Internalized Standards of Beauty: She reflects on growing up with societal and cultural colorism in Malaysia, how she unlearned the belief that "fair is pretty" to embrace her skin tone, and her shift toward creating content that builds representation for deeper skinned women. ◼ Life Lessons from Law School and Navigating Career Anxiety: She breaks down how studying case law gave her a realistic perspective on how fast life can change, why no experience goes to waste even if you change careers, and her advice to young Malaysians about learning to trust the process over constantly worrying about the future.

#341 Today's show is like no other. I sat down with my longtime client and friend Morris Tuchman, who has trained with me for over 25 years. To say Morris has influenced me would be an understatement. In Part 1, we talk about how we met when I was a young, inexperienced trainer, what helped Morris stay consistent for decades, and how he approaches health and aging with both realism and grace. We also get into what makes a successful life, and why family deserves more than whatever time is left over after work. In this episode How Morris and I began working together more than 25 years ago Why flexibility and commitment helped our training relationship last What has kept Morris consistent with exercise for decades How to adapt workouts to your current abilities without giving up Morris' perspective on his stroke, heart attack, and recovery Why people often take their health for granted when they're young How to make room for family instead of letting work define your life Why it matters to stop and ask yourself what you really want Morris' closing advice on appreciating the good in your life

For many Christians, the command to "pray without ceasing" feels more intimidating than inspiring. After all, most of us already struggle to maintain a consistent prayer life. We know prayer matters. We know we need it. Yet if we're honest, prayer often feels difficult, awkward, or disappointing.   Maybe the problem isn't our effort, but our understanding of prayer.   In this episode, our Lead Pastor, Whit George, and Spiritual Formation Pastor, Casey Shirley, explore what it really means to bring ourselves before the Lord.   Show Notes: Listen to the Weekend Message: How to Pray Without Ceasing   In this episode, they reference the book Eternity is Now in Session by John Ortberg

“Send Coach John a message”No post to share today, just a phone call that inspired me & encouraged me from good ‘ol Coach Dave.  In our conversation this morning, I think we both got inspired and encouraged with some new perspectives.  It changed my entire day talking with him along with helping me to see that I need to check in with others in my circle to do for them what Dave did for me.  We all need it for sure.  Before I recorded this episode in my mobile studio, I was driving without the radio on and no podcasts playing.  I was driving in silence and thinking about things. That is when this connection came to me.  I hope this helps you make connections to some people in your life that you need 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.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Dr. Jackie Ogden is a behavioral psychologist who spent her career working in leadership positions at world-renowned institutions like the San Diego Zoo and Disney's Animal Kingdom. In this episode, Jackie tells Sarah what animal behavior can teach us about grief and mortality, and why it's critical for conservation efforts to be about people, in addition to animals. Then, Jackie talks candidly about much more personal topics: the humor and daily practice required to care for a spouse with Alzheimer's disease, and what it was like for her to recently receive her own early-stage Alzheimer's diagnosis. Jackie reveals her desire to be intentional during her final chapter, and what she thinks it truly means to make peace with the end of life.

But it also reveals the unwavering faithfulness of God.

“Send Coach John a message”I found a fabulous thought from a difference maker that I've connected with many times before.  Damon West (@damonwest7) mentions this:  “Your beliefs are heard in your words, but they're proven in the way you live. #BeACoffeeBean”  The post he connected to was this:  “Don't just talk about what you believe; live it.  Let your faith show up in how you treat people, how you respond when life gets hard.  Your beliefs are heard in your words, but they're proven in the way you live.”  This is such a powerful reminder for me to put more action into my life and have that back up who I am, what I believe, how I want my life to impact others, etc.  Again, every single human being - all throughout history - has times when life gets hard.  I want to be able to be ready to better respond to those moments, to people when they need help and to keep getting better in all that I do!  Again, please check out “The Coffee Bean” - it's a wonderful book co-authored by Damon West with Jon Gordon. That book will help make a difference in your life!  Keep looking to be a Coffee Bean my friends.  The world needs more coffee beans!!  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 would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”Another incredibly simple, yet powerful post came my way from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) which said this:  “Work hard.  Dress well.  Eat well.  Talk less.  Stay humble.  Avoid drama.  Chase goals.”  This list is something for each of us to go over with the person in the mirror and see how you connect with each and every part of this “To-Do” list.  I know I need to make it part of my every day list of things I need to connect 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 would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Before Trace Gallagher became one of Fox News's most recognizable faces, he was a professional water skier at Six Flags Marine World, where he once taught Jimmy Buffett to ski. A knee injury ended that career and sent him on an unexpected path through announcing, local television, and eventually Fox News, where he has been a fixture since the network's launch in 1996. In his new memoir, Turns Out They Were Right All Along: Life Lessons I Learned Eventually, Gallagher reflects on the detours, setbacks, and unlikely breaks that shaped his life and career. Newt sits down with Gallagher to explore the wisdom that only comes from living it, the moments that tested him, and what three decades in breaking news have taught him about perseverance, purpose, and getting it right.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever wondered whether your soul chose your parents, family, and life lessons before you entered this world? In this episode of Porch Conversation with CJ, CJ and I continue answering your questions about the soul's journey before birth. We explore CJ's personal spiritual beliefs about pregnancy, different lifetimes, choosing parents, soul tribes, intuitive gifts, and why certain souls may enter challenging family circumstances. We also discuss the influence fathers have on their children and why healing your love blocks before choosing a partner can affect more than your romantic life—it can shape the emotional environment in which your children grow. The lesson is simple but powerful: Your relationship choices do not affect only you. When you heal the beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors influencing whom you choose, you become better prepared to build a safe, loving, and emotionally healthy family. You cannot control every experience your child will face, but you can take responsibility for your healing, strengthen your discernment, and create a healthier foundation for the family you are building. — Shay Founder, Bonding Biology Institute™

“Send Coach John a message”John O'Leary comes up with an amazing post (like he always does), again, get connected to John HERE and check out the amazing things he is doing to make a difference with others.  His thoughts on his post were these:  “My friends, peace is not found in knowing exactly how the story ends. It's found in refusing to let the uncertainty of tomorrow steal the possibility of today.”  This was all connected to this quote from Trent Shelton:  “Peace is something you'll never experience if you keep letting the things you can't control, control you.”  There is not a more true statement and yes, it seems like he was directing this at me as I'm working hard trying to control this every day - including overnight too when I'm trying to sleep.  I'm getting better at it, but I'm not where I want to be, that's for sure.

"Who puts us in the best situation to win each night...I'm here for all the smoke!" Kara Lawson Kara Lawson joins Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder and Fred Taylor for a powerful conversation about the journey from elite athlete to one of basketball's most respected leaders and coaches. Fresh off a Gold Medal win at the 2026 FIBA World Cup, Coach takes us inside her experience with USA Basketball and the challenge of coaching a roster loaded with some of the greatest talent in the world—including Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers—and finding the balance between individual greatness, different personalities and one shared mission on the international stage. Not afraid to ruffle feathers or cave to criticisms, Coach explains her approach to leading and winning at the highest levels. She opens up about the leadership lessons that have guided her, the impact of legendary coach Pat Summitt, and the stories and wisdom she carried forward from her time around one of the most influential figures in women's basketball. Lawson also reflects on her experience with the Boston Celtics and how working inside the NBA sharpened her understanding of leadership, culture and team-building. Lawson takes us from her childhood, where her father introduced her to football and helped shape the toughness, discipline and competitive mindset that would define her life, to becoming a top-tier basketball player and eventually a prominent coach. Now at Duke, Lawson discusses the challenge of restoring a historic women's basketball program to powerhouse status, building a culture that demands excellence, and developing players beyond what happens between the lines. From playing football with her dad to learning from Pat Summitt, from the Celtics to Duke, and from elite player to elite coach, Kara Lawson shares the leadership, sacrifice, resilience and life lessons behind her remarkable basketball journey—and what it takes to lead the best talent in the world.

This is a story about how a bad jar of peanut butter reminded me of some basic life lessons. The ones we say we know but don't implement.  It is like when Cab Calloway sings St. James Infirmary Blues.  Cab gets ahold of a note and pitches it to the heavens before bringing back to earth. You might need to do your own pitching. Maybe it will come back to you. Maybe not.    Take a deep breath, reassess and carry on.   I like both the cartoon animation and him singing it in person. If you need a mind balm, you can't go wrong watching either version.   Resources Mentioned and Implied   National Peanut Board with information about how long peanut products last.   From the 1947 movie Hi-Di-Ho Cab gives a spirited performance of St. James Infirmary Blues.   The Fletcher Studios used Cab Calloway as the template for Koko the Clown dancing in a segment of their 1933 version of Snow White. Basically the filmmakers traced Cab and his dance moves onto Koko the Clown.    Emergency Resources   The Trevor Project: Provides crisis support specifically for LGBTQ+ youth through phone (1-866-488-7386), text (START to 678-678), and online chat.

Fall feels like a fresh start this year. After a difficult summer, I'm settling into a new home and figuring out what this next chapter looks like. So I invited Papa Robertson back to talk about starting over and finding your footing when life doesn't go the way you planned.We talk about what my 98-year-old grandmother has taught us about staying connected, taking care of yourself, and enjoying the simple things. Papa shares some of his favorite ways to lift your spirits, from getting outside and spending time in Sedona to visiting the library or sending someone a handwritten card.It's a little bit of fall, a lot of Papa wisdom, and a reminder that even in the middle of change, there are still good days ahead.@rickrobertsunTheo of Golden: A Novelby Allen Levi, David MorseThe Book of Virtuesby William J.

“Send Coach John a message”Saw a gem of a post this morning from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) which was a quote from David Goggins that he shared.  The quote was this:  “The only way to achieve greatness in life is to have patience, consistency, and discipline.”  WOW.  I shared this when I reposted it:  “Coach John Daly (@coachtosuccess) Good stuff for each of us to make our own…”  It is up to us to take these types of truths & great advice and make them our own in our own lives!!   Each of these 3 principles can be applied to relationships, careers, finances, fitness, etc.   As I said, I know for sure that I need to have that look come back to me from the guy in the mirror that I know, I am doing well in these three areas.  I need to keep at this, making it a habit that I connect with each and every day.  I hope you are able to do that as well my friends.  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 would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. ** 

“Send Coach John a message”I found so many posts today and here is the winner that I wanted to share with you. It comes from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) and this is once again something that the world needs more of.  The post was this:  “Be the kind of person who makes cashiers smile, makes waiters laugh, and who makes lonely people feel seen.  In a world so obsessed with being important, being kind, present, and wonderfully human is its own kind of extraordinary.”  As I shared in this episode, I ran into a former student of mine working at a store I go to frequently.  She reminded me of the value and belief she had in me as a teacher.  I was reminded that I was “seen” by her and plenty of my students throughout the 34 years as a teacher and coach.  My response to this post was this:  “Coach John Daly (@coachtosuccess) Just imagine for a moment if more people did this... and like so many other things... the world needs more of this for sure!!”  Let's take this challenge on and look to be this kind of person wherever we 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 would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”A profound post came to me today and of course it's from a bigtime difference maker that I lean on just about every day.  It's from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) and he's “Reflecting this morning on that thing about ‘cracks'” … “Maybe the cracks in your life aren't where you're breaking, maybe they're where the light gets in and maybe those cracks don't need fixing.  What if they're opening you up to what comes next?  Sometimes the cracks are where life rebuilds us so something new can shine through.” ~ @JulieChin.  Today I got to thinking about a few things. First of all it's the 6th anniversary of us losing my father-in-law and it reminds me (like every day truthfully) how much we all miss him. That is for sure a crack in our world.  Losing two other family members a few months ago, my aunt and an uncle - again, another crack that hurts for sure.  I met with two former colleagues for lunch today and it reminded me about missing them and so many others that I used to see every day for a very long time.  Yes, cracks in my life that still kind of hurt.  But - the key is that yes… there is light, inspiration, hope, energy, purpose, strength, etc., that come from each of these moments in my life - that for sure help me to keep going to see what is next and to have these “cracks” help me do great things in (and with) my life.  We all have these cracks in our lives - job losses, people passing or leaving us, hurtful moments, medical issues, financial issues, the list can go on and on.  But what if we look at these for what can come into our lives from going through it in the first place?  Wow… very powerful perception for us to have and to have the “cracks” benefit us somehow.

In a world of extremes, it's easy to believe that power is bad. Our cultures tendency is to reject words like "dominion," or "authority," but those words are in scripture, and they're a part of our lives. So, what do we do with power? How do we use power and how do we interact with those in power? In this episode, Whit George, Lead Pastor of Church on the Move and Seth Swindall, Senior Pastor of Church on the Move West, discuss power dynamics and how we steward authority with Biblical wisdom.   Show notes: Whit's Message: https://youtu.be/xVx1lAi8LDU Seth's Message: https://youtu.be/2pf1yCwrxA0

What's actually worth spending your money on, and what's just a waste?In this solo episode, Christina breaks down the upgrades, experiences, and investments she believes are truly worth the splurge, from house cleaners and first-class flights to anything that saves time, reduces stress, or creates more joy. She also gets real about what isn't worth the money, including spending to impress others, overspending on appearances, and investing heavily in a business before you have paying clients. With plenty of personal stories, strong opinions, and a few controversial takes along the way, this episode is a fun reminder that how you spend your money should ultimately reflect what you value most: your time, your experiences, your peace, and your happiness.If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating and leave us a comment on iTunes CONNECT WITH CHRISTINA!InstagramLinkedInChristinalecuyer.comBook a Free Clarity CallBook Christina For Your Next Workshop

Beyond money, status, and attractive partner where do we find meaning, and happiness? Across 34 unconventional life lessons, we explore the inner machinery behind a meaningful life: why status can behave like a sugary breakfast cereal, why exercise is cheaper than many illnesses, and why some of our finest ideas arrive only after we stop staring aggressively at a blank page. Along the way, we consider discipline, creativity, money, identity, empathy, confirmation bias, and the possibility that society is held together with rather more metaphorical duct tape than anyone would like to admit. We all have enough heroic checklists for self-improvement. My aim is to make familiar ideas seem strange enough to re-examine properly. That and to leave you feeling slightly more optimistic about being human. Treat mistakes as tuition rather than evidence of failure. Make room for rest, curiosity, and unplanned opportunities. Build beliefs carefully instead of inheriting them wholesale. Listen in and discover why a less certain life may be a happier one.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I sit down with Jo Groves to revisit one of the most unconventional commencement speeches of the last decade: Tim Minchin's 2013 address at the University of Western Australia.Minchin offered nine life lessons that are funny, provocative, and occasionally counterintuitive: you don't have to have a dream, don't make happiness your goal, remember how much of life is luck, exercise, be hard on your opinions, be a teacher, define yourself by what you love, respect people with less power than you, and don't rush.Jo and I unpack each of these ideas and explore why they still resonate more than a decade later. Along the way, we talk about ambition, uncertainty, humility, health, curiosity, power, purpose, and the strange pressure we place on ourselves to have life figured out.It's a conversation about taking life seriously without taking yourself quite so seriously, questioning some of the advice we're usually given, and perhaps discovering that a meaningful life doesn't require a perfect plan.Visit us at:www.theselfhelpantidote.com

“Send Coach John a message”Great connection from Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) for any day, but especially on a Motivation Monday Game Plan day!!  “#MindsetMonday Positivity doesn't ignore reality.  It gives you the strength to face it.”  Again, so many people think that having a positive outlook or attitude is bad.  Some say it's not a good way to face reality.  All I know is that having a positive attitude towards life and everything it can throw at us, is SO MUCH better than having a negative attitude.  A positive attitude doesn't mean we will never face obstacles or problems.  It does help us to solve them and get through them for sure. In today's mixed up world, I think more people having positivity in the way the deal with things would be much better for themselves and others, compared to negativity.  Too many people have that and we can all see what “good” that is doing for society.  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 would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **
