“Send Coach John a message”I found a great reminder for me and for you and it comes from:  Jaime Boswell (@JaimeBoswell2)  “Champions Know… Our excuses aren't  special. Everyone is busy. Everyone is tired. Everyone has obstacles. The difference isn't the circumstances, it's the mindset. Winners find a way to get it done. Everyone else finds a reason why they can't. Decide which one you are.” What a powerful reminder for all of us and the person looking back at us in the mirror!  I know I have plenty of excuses … way too often and I'm trying to work on them for sure! In today's world, I think this is one of the best things we can do, is to take this mindset 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.  ** 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”Saw an amazing reminder today to always carry around with us, from: Alan Stein, Jr. (@AlanSteinJr) “Always give without remembering. Always receive without forgetting.”  There has been many historical lessons from many different sources throughout life - this is one of the main ones for humans to connect with, and yet we seem to struggle with this.  We don't keep score of who owes us, but yet, we should always remember those that help us for sure.   Again, easy to see on paper but more challenging to put action behind it in our everyday lives!  It was also echoed from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) just a few posts before Alan's.  This one shared this thought: “The happiest people are the givers, not the takers.” Both of these remind me of what Professor Morrie Schwartz said to Mitch Albom - from the book “Tuesdays With Morrie”: “When I give to others, I feel alive. When I take from others, I feel like I'm dying.”  The world needs more givers. This is something that I'm trying to do more of for sure. Morrie was right. The world also needs more examples to learn from on how to give more too.

In this episode of The On Purpose Podcast, host Jerrod Hardy sits down with Dave Fullmer, creator of the Becoming Seven (B7) Superhuman Rhythm, to explore why rhythm beats motivation when it comes to lasting change. From the start, Dave challenges the idea that you can rely on hype alone—and breaks down how building daily disciplines creates momentum you can keep, even when life gets hard.Dave shares his remarkable story—an unpredictable childhood, hard lessons in identity and anger, and a life-changing turning point through forgiveness. He explains how releasing resentment can lighten the “backpack” we carry, and introduces Forgiveness Friday as a weekly practice for healing, boundaries, and emotional freedom.They also unpack the full B7 weekly framework—Motivation Monday, Tracking Tuesday, Whisper Wednesday, Thankful Thursday, Forgiveness Friday, Satisfaction Saturday, and Supplication Sunday—designed to reduce chaos, strengthen self-awareness, and help you live with purpose. Along the way, Dave explains why intuition is a skill, gratitude fuels leadership, and why community and honest self-evaluation are essential for growth.If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or inconsistent, this conversation will give you a practical structure to reset your mindset, build stronger habits, and stay aligned with the life you want to create.Connect with Dave on Instagram @becomesevenofficialThank you to our sponsors Dr. Elise Rigney and Missions PurposeREWIRE Ad code: dreliserigney.com/offers/9CoeA2oD?coupon_code=PURPOSE — and use code PURPOSE for $100 off.Missions Purpose: direct link to the skool community: https://www.skool.com/missionspurposeFuel all of your long runs or rides with Never2.

“Send Coach John a message”I found this post and it connected with me right away. I didn't have to read it again (although I did), but it's one that I hope each and everyone of you connect with and remember the truth from this post. It comes from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) “You become truly unstoppable when you invest in what no one can take from you: your character, your habits, your mindset, your discipline, your resilience, and your attitude.”  This is something that empowers me to do more, to keep getting better and to keep putting my focus and energy into these things that I truly do control. The big time key is that you can do the same for yourself. You don't need anyone's permission to work on these areas. I don't either - other than myself. I need to get out of my way to take care of these things every day. I'm fired up about it. Hope you are too for you! Speaking of being Fired Up - Here is the link to the John O'Leary interview with Rudy Ruettiger - from the movie, RUDY.   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 this gem from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) and it is a short, yet powerful thought… “Consistency is the silent engine of extraordinary results.” Every day. Every way to just keep going!!  It's one of those things that again, nobody has to know about what you are doing or how often you are doing them. Those that love you will know without you even telling them. It's a reminder to me to keep doing what I have to do every day. It's a choice to keep showing up to do the things I know I have to do. It's my honor to keep being my best in being a dad, husband, son, uncle, brother, etc. I can't take any of those roles for granted. Wow.. love this thought!  Something to carry with us 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. **

On today's Motivation Monday, we're discussing how to bring your dreams tonight.

Send us a textIn today's episode of Evolve Ventures Tech, we sit inside one of the most uncomfortable truths of modern life: certainty is gone, and pretending otherwise is quietly draining our stability. We examine how nonstop information, digital volatility, and collective fear reshape the nervous system, distort perception, and weaken emotional grounding. This episode does not offer false reassurance or easy fixes. It names what it actually feels like to live in a world where safety feels conditional, and the future feels unstable.Through a clarity-forward, psychologically grounded lens, we reveal why so many people are dysregulated without realizing it, why resilience is harder than ever, and what it takes to stay anchored without disconnecting from reality.Here are the related episodes, each one builds on today's conversation:#291 | Motivation Monday: 3 Simple Conflict Resolution Tools You Need to Know - https://apple.co/4rnXvHP #473 | The Tools You Need to Stop Emotionally Numbing - https://apple.co/46impk3Learn more about:

“Send Coach John a message”Found a fired up thought from Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard) where it's a simple & powerful reminder that I know I needed to see.  “Everything you do, comes back to you. Do good, be good.”  I need to keep doing good. Being good. Doing better. Be Better. In EVERY THING I DO! So much of my life is changing (heck, all life is changing, all the time, every single day).  But since I have a front row seat on my roller coaster in my life, these are the things I know I need to keep working on. Hopefully you see the opportunities to work on things while you are riding your roller coaster.  Remember how motivation is not permanent, that is why we need to keep working on it every day! This thought helps me for sure to do that and I  hope it offers you some help 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 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”Love finding things that help keep my soul on fire… these posts that I find are really things that fire me up! From Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_)  Its a reminder for all of us to “Trust the process. Always remember that… You can have the worst days of your life and a few weeks later you can have the best day of your life. Keep pushing through.”  This is something that hits me hard when I reflect on it - and truthfully I do have a bit more time to reflect now a days. It get me thinking about how proud of my little 8 year old self would be of my 59 year old self.  That 8 year old is part of me and has been since I was that age. I do have plenty to be proud of that I have pushed through and not given up. It helps me to also connect with Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) that shared this: “Hardest thing right now is, finding people with pure intentions”  Part of our process needs to keep focusing in doing the right thing. Not only for our lives and the people we love, but our communities / country / the world!  My little 8 year old self has been in the front row seeing all the good and bad I've done. I need to do more of what is right in living my life. Great stuff for all of us 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.  ** 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”Today being the day that we are honoring Martin Luther King, Jr., I found a post from Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11)  and his #MindsetMonday thoughts shared this quote:  “If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” What a powerful reminder for every single day, but especially today! I found this catching my eye for many reasons - one for sure is that I need to keep moving forward in my attempt to not let negativity, anger, hatred, etc., enter into my heart and mind. Too much of the BS out there that I unfortunately let into my life and I can't let it go. This morning was no exception. People I know, like and thought I respected, keep putting stuff out there that simply sets to tear apart and cause trouble. I will keep moving forward, however I have to, so that I can keep encouraging others, putting out things that help people on their life's journey, along with trying to balance out the “crud” that people put out there.

only the distant city noise filtered in.Hu: Zoltán középszerű menedzser volt egy multinacionális cégnél, de mostanában úgy érezte, elvesztette a lelkesedését a munkája iránt.En: Zoltán was a mediocre manager at a multinational company, but lately, he felt he had lost his enthusiasm for his job.Hu: A vállalat éves konferenciát szervezett Budapesten.En: The company organized its annual conference in Budapest.Hu: Zoltán nem volt különösebben lelkes, hiszen úgy érezte, hogy az ilyen események nem adnak sok újat.En: Zoltán wasn't particularly enthusiastic because he felt these events didn't offer much new.Hu: Azonban valahol legbelül remélte, hogy talán mégis történhet valami fontos.En: However, somewhere deep inside, he hoped that perhaps something important might happen after all.Hu: Az irodájában Katalin, a segítőkész asszisztens, és Péter, a fiatalos informatikus kolléga, igyekeztek motiválni őt.En: In his office, Katalin, the helpful assistant, and Péter, the youthful IT colleague, tried to motivate him.Hu: "Zoltán, talán találkozol valami új izgalommal!En: "Zoltán, maybe you'll encounter some new excitement!"Hu: " mondta Katalin mosolyogva.En: said Katalin with a smile.Hu: Elérkezett a konferencia napja.En: The day of the conference arrived.Hu: Ahogy a taxi elindult az iroda elől, Zoltán a magával hozott programfüzetre pillantott.En: As the taxi set off from the front of the office, Zoltán glanced at the program booklet he brought with him.Hu: A hó hangosan ropogott a kerekek alatt, és Zoltán megpróbálta összeszedni a gondolatait.En: The snow crunched loudly under the wheels, and Zoltán tried to gather his thoughts.Hu: Úgy döntött, hogy részt vesz a hálózati ülésen, annak ellenére, hogy nem igazán hitt az ilyen kapcsolatok hasznosságában.En: He decided to attend the networking session, even though he didn't really believe in the usefulness of such connections.Hu: A konferencia helyszíne impozáns volt.En: The conference venue was impressive.Hu: A résztvevők sorra érkeztek, és Zoltán akaratlanul is belefeledkezett a lüktető életbe.En: Participants arrived one after another, and Zoltán found himself absorbed in the pulsating life.Hu: Az emberek élénken beszélgettek, és ő elkezdett érdeklődni az előadások iránt.En: People were chatting animatedly, and he began to show interest in the presentations.Hu: Egy inspiráló hangulatot árasztó terem várta őt.En: A room exuding an inspiring atmosphere awaited him.Hu: A csúcspont az egyik kiemelt előadó beszéde volt.En: The highlight was the speech of one of the distinguished speakers.Hu: Ahogy a szónok belekezdett, Zoltán először csak félszívvel figyelt.En: As the speaker began, Zoltán only half-listened at first.Hu: Ám ahogy a szavak áramlottak felé, egyszer csak teljesen magával ragadta a téma.En: But as the words flowed towards him, he suddenly became entirely captivated by the topic.Hu: Az előadó szenvedélyesen beszélt a munka és az élet értelmének megtalálásáról, és arról, hogyan alakíthatjuk ki a hivatásunkat, hogy az valóban tükrözze a belső vágyainkat.En: The speaker talked passionately about finding the meaning of work and life and how we can shape our careers to truly reflect our inner desires.Hu: Zoltán megdöbbent.En: Zoltán was astonished.Hu: Ekkor döbbent rá, miért is kezdte ezt az utat évekkel ezelőtt.En: It was then that he realized why he had embarked on this path years ago.Hu: A konferencia végére Zoltán úgy érezte, mintha új emberré vált volna.En: By the end of the conference, Zoltán felt like he had become a new person.Hu: Amikor visszatért az irodába, azon dolgozott, hogy projektjeit a saját érdeklődési körei szerint alakítsa.En: When he returned to the office, he worked on shaping his projects according to his own interests.Hu: Kollégái, Katalin és Péter csodálkozva látták, hogyan változott meg.En: His colleagues, Katalin and Péter, were amazed at how he had changed.Hu: Zoltán egy új tervvel állt elő, ami még a főnökeit is lenyűgözte.En: Zoltán came up with a new plan that even impressed his superiors.Hu: Zoltán újra lelkesedéssel vetette bele magát a munkába.En: Zoltán threw himself into his work with enthusiasm once more.Hu: Már nem csak egy menedzser volt, hanem valaki, aki tudatosan formálja a karrierjét és az életét.En: He was no longer just a manager but someone who consciously shaped his career and life.Hu: A hó tovább hullott Budapest felett, de Zoltán szívében már a tavasz ígérete élt.En: The snow continued to fall over Budapest, but in Zoltán's heart, the promise of spring lived on.

“Send Coach John a message”Found this huge connection to some things that I've been thinking about lately - the people in my life that have made a huge impact on me. It comes from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) and it reminds us to “be the things you loved most about the people who are gone.” I am thinking about so many people and I'm trying to take what not only they meant to me, but the lessons they taught me and live my life with them in mind. I just shared this image with a friend who tragically lost a family member. It sure does help take what's wonderful from people and keep it going in “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.  ** 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. **

On today's motivation, we're talking about the importance of rest.

“Send Coach John a message”I just came across a post from Kobe Bryant Stories & Motivation (@kobehighlight)  where there is a clip of Kobe sharing a thought that made a connection to a really good 2026 mentality: “Always keep going. The storm eventually ends.” - Kobe Bryant.  That whole idea of persistence is one that seems to keep popping up to remind me as to how important it is to have - it seems now more than ever in so many ways.  I'm working on this as I found this post. Trying to focus (my One Word for 2026) on doing little things better, all throughout my day. I want to focus on many of the areas that I know I need to put more effort in my life. The key is to zero in on one at a time. Reading, fitness, learning new skills, educating myself in different areas, relationships, my health, my attitude & responses to things, etc. Kobe is right - the “storm” does eventually pass and then there is usually a new one coming on the horizon. Just. Keep. Going.  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 us a textFound another series to share for you. When I ran across this from the book: “Coach Wooden's Greatest Secret: The Power of a Lot of Little Things Done Well”, by Pat Williams with Jim Denney. It's all about building healthy habits.  Find a link for the book HERE. (you can find it in many different places)  It starts off by reminding us that the best way to replace a bad habit is to replace it with a good habit.  These  eight parts remind us that it's tough to try and simply get rid of a bad habit by willpower alone.  What I'm sharing with you starting today is all about principles to keep in mind as we replace unhealthy habits with good habits.  The first is to focus on little things.  Instead of making huge changes in our lives, find small manageable tasks to focus on that lead us to the changes we want. I have always looked ahead a bit too much to the ending that I want. Then it becomes difficult, challenging and frustrating because my focus is not on the first step I need to take, but what's at the finish line. The more I read these, the more fired up I got. I hope this happens to you as well during the next few episodes.   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 an awesome post from Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) and it's a powerful and much needed reminder that all of us have the ability to be a leader in life. Find his site HERE.  In case you have not noticed, the world needs us more than ever! He reminds us: “You are a leader!”  You may not have a title. You may not have people report to you. Maybe you never thought of yourself as a leader. But I'm here to tell you that if you live a life of integrity… If you show others what discipline, consistency and devotion look like… If you encourage someone today… If people know you believe in them… If you lend someone a helping hand… If you lift someone up with your words… If you coach a friend through a challenging situation… If you solve a client's problem… If you guide a customer in the right direction… If you hold your friends accountable… If you get a child to eat their vegetables… If you love, serve and care…If you impact the life of another human being… You are a leader!  Lead well! Lead Positive!”  Such a powerful post with powerful examples for all of us.  I shared this post with this thought:  “Amazing truth here … many so-called / self-described  “leaders” are out there needing to take lessons from real leaders, real people… integrity / character shine so brightly for those that “… love, serve and care…”! We need more of this!”  It astounds me that we have so many people with titles that think they are leaders, yet they simply make things worse for others and certainly don't look to serve others. Once again, that's why we all have the ability to make a difference in this world.  The funeral service I went to this past weekend… a 19 year old girl… was a difference maker on so many levels!  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.

Classic post from Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) where he shared a “Mindset  Monday” thought. “Replace “Have to” with “Get to.”  Jon shares with us: “Shift your perspective and realize it's not about having to do anything. Life is not an obligation. It's a gift. Focus on gratitude and you'll find yourself feeling blessed instead of stressed.” This was something that I needed to connect with and remind myself how important my mindset is.  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.

Welcome Back to the "I won't keep quiet" series! Crystal Williams opened the Career Prosperity Prayer Call with worship and welcomed attendees to "mic drop Monday, Motivation Monday," acknowledging National Career Development Month and the need to "futureproof your career" by focusing on faith during times of uncertainty, continuing the "I Won't Keep Quiet" series to encourage attendees to declare the goodness of God. Williams shared a personal experience from "The Boy is Mine Tour" to illustrate the importance of putting on "spiritual spectacles" and "spiritual ears" and derived spiritual revelation from song titles to encourage attendees about God's ability to heal and change their status. Williams discussed the concept of being "God's referral," meaning being "positively recommended or endorsed by God" through a life of integrity, diligence, and faithfulness, and referenced Acts 2:1-4 and 1 Corinthians 7:17 to support the idea of career elevation and generational blessings before concluding with a prayer and encouragement to "go forth and conquer."

I found an awesome post from Aaron Babicz '93 (@DETROITCCAD) who is the Athletic Director at my high school Novi Detroit Catholic Central. He shared this post after our football team won the State Championship here in Michigan.  He titled this  “ALWAYS CLIMBING”, and it describes this quote - “How Lucky We Are To Wake Up And Try Again.” First of all there are plenty of people that didn't get to wake up today. The same will happen tomorrow and every day.  What are you always climbing towards? This is way more than athletics (as much of sports is = Life Lessons). What do we get to try again with today? I know there are plenty for me to choose from, with gratitude that I get to look to work on today. Love this reminder! Take it to heart and see where you can connect with what @inkyjohnson reminds us too. “What fulfills me?” Powerful question to tie into what we get to do (choose to do) each and every day!!  Stay fired up 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.

On this week's Motivation Monday, we're discussing what voices are worth listening to, and which you need to tune out.

I found a great reminder for all of us when it comes to creating something special in our life and the fact that there are tons of distractions out there that we need to filter through. From Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) he shares this thought from his book “The Carpenter” - “To create something special you have to care more about what you are creating than the distractions vying for your attention.”  Well, seeing that there are tons of distractions for all of us in our world today - I wanted to get this out there so we can start to maybe find ways to focus on what we want more than we focus on those distractions. For me, it's always challenging, but I'm working toward getting better with this. 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.

On today's Motivation Monday episode, Pamela Jett reveals research showing that the happiest people in organizations aren't lucky — they're intentional. Drawing on the Foster & Hicks study, she explains how these “spark” people consciously choose happiness each morning, use the brain's most receptive hour for positive programming, and build resilience despite life's challenges. Her message: happiness isn't accidental — it's a daily decision.Source: Breakthrough: Overcoming Obstacles and Breaking Barriers in Business and Life Hosted by Sean CroxtonFollow me on InstagramSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
