Podcasts about no complaining

I found a very inspirational and thought provoking post from a former student, and I've leaned on him plenty of times before. Coach Ray Ostrowski (@CoachRayO3313) is an amazing teacher and football coach, where he goes out of his way to share things just about every day with his students and players, but also the rest of the world too.  This long-time educator and coach recognizes the importance of learning all of the time and that's one of the main driving forces behind this podcast and just about everything that I do.  Coach Ray shares this:  “1st & 3rd - Life is not fair. The only thing in life that is fair is a ball hit between 1st & 3rd. We are promised adversity in life. Everything you achieve - everything you do, you'll have to overcome difficulties. Your integrity & your character are what will define you. How you handle the adversity?”  In today's world - especially here in our country, we have way too many examples of those that DON'T have much character and integrity and we can see where that gets people in life.  There are so many reasons and examples for us to keep working on these two success ingredients.  The world needs us to step up and put these into action 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.

Reading the new book from Mitch Albom called “Twice” (click HERE for the book info.) It gets us thinking about what if we got second chances to do things over? But we would have to live with that new choice. Also, it can be used for Love either. So many thoughts here that this is helping to see things in my life just a bit differently. I understand that what I have in my life, I would not risk changing things in my past to have what I have today.  It's also taught me a little bit, that at times, we do have a second chance - to say I'm sorry. To fix something at that moment that just got broken. The key is in the moment.  I hope this book gets you thinking about your life like it has for me. Make sure you check out all of Mitch's books HERE. Would love to hear about your thoughts if you are able to get this book or any of his books and what you thought of them.

I saw something recently that gave me a motivational lift along with a reminder too. This comes from UpSkillYourLife (@UpSkillYourLife) and it's this: “Forget your age. If you have dreams to achieve, you are still young.” I do have dreams to achieve - still!!  I also think of my current age and I am reminded through this post and other things, that yes I am still young. I'm still that 15 year old boy that I was 44 years ago with dreams and thoughts of a future that I could not touch yet. Well, that future has been here and is now my present. As long as I have dreams to work toward, all the ages I have been in my life are here to help me keep going after things.  The longer I let this thought simmer, the more emotional I get. Part of it also is that I'm in the middle of reading Mitch Albom's new book “Twice” which just came out recently.  I'll share more from the book in my next podcast. I still have dreams and I still can work towards them, no matter what my age is today! That's true for all of us. Just keep working towards them - little steps or big ones, doesn't matter. 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.

Found a post from Overmind (@overmind01) where a very simple statement got me thinking about a few things. The post was this:  “Education isn't for employment. Education is for enlightenment.” A key point that I always made to my students was that education happens all throughout our lives. Education was not meant (in my opinion) simply to help us get a job. It's for living our best lives and we need to realize that we can keep learning from reading, watching, listening, etc. Also tied into this is the fact that as part of the enlightenment that education offers us, is that we should always look towards those things that fire us up. Those things that light us up. Those things that we feel that we are called to do. Just remember to not stop trying to be your best. Keep looking to get better. Remember, it's not just you that benefits from you being your best!!  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 was on the road again - nothing big, just a grocery pickup and I was listening to The Daily Coach Podcast - Getting Comfortable With Failure.  It was another of so many incredible sources of hearing stories from people who have been through failure, rejection, tough times, tragedy, etc. My connection point today is for all of us to find those sources of lessons that we can learn from.  It certainly doesn't have to be the same source for all of us. Just keep learning & keep getting better!  Find more from TheDaily.Coach  Another fantastic source of lessons is John O'Leary's movie - Soul On Fire! It's a must see movie for lessons for all of us to be the heroes for others (and ourselves).  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.

Now, this post that I saw from Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) is all about raising our standards, but when I saw it - I knew this post was directly pointing at me. I don't want you getting offended by the title. I'll use something else in my thoughts about these thoughts in this episode. But, it is easy for me to see that this is a formula for me to get things better in my life and I hope you can take a few things from it to add value to your life.  Face it, we all have standards for ourselves that we can get better at 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.

Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) comes through with another reflection for all of us.  “A reminder: Your life is nothing but a reflection of how you spend your time.” WOW!!  Talk about an eye-opening thought, especially when you read this while looking in the mirror!! If we don't like things going on in our lives - look how we spend our time! I've been reflecting on my life … wow.. Now that I think about it… ever since I can remember. All this reflection and I don't think I've thought of the easy connection of how I spend my time. I have thought about my habits, what choices I make, my actions, my thoughts, etc., but it really is all about how I spend my time. Knowing this - it's something totally under my control of course, which simply means that I can not only do something about, but that I can't blame other people or circumstances.  More great stuff for all of us to keep improving! When we add value to ourselves, good things can happen.  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 was listening to a podcast from “The Burn Podcast” by Ben Newman where he was having a fabulous conversation with Inky Johnson —  the same Inky that I keep leaning on in so many of my episodes. Listen to it HERE.  We are reminded about Inky's career-ending injury and how it changed his entire life.  This helped to remind me how humility, discipline (it's been a recurring lesson lately), focus and he speaks about having a strong faith where he transformed pain into purpose. I love the connection to his pain, setbacks, problems and obstacles reminds him (and all of us)  why it's important to remember that success comes from action, not just words. The idea of “reframing suffering into meaning” comes up in this amazing conversation between these two GIANT difference-makers. They shared how they are viewing their suffering, adversity, problems, etc., as growing into a powerful strength in their lives. Well, since I have plenty of adversity and stuff (and WE ALL DO), this can hopefully help me and you find some way of connecting to our own strength to help us become better throughout life! It's all about the mindset to keep showing up, no matter what is going on in our lives!!  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 connected with someone new recently when I saw this post from Gary Hensel (@gary_hensel) and it's a powerful reminder for all of us. We can all have this superpower, in fact we already have it. But if you are like me, I need to have it a bit more often everyday and that's exactly what I plan on doing.  This thought here means a lot: “Calmness is a superpower. The ability to not overreact or take things personally keeps your mind clear and your heart at peace.” ~ Idil Ahmed  In today's crazy and mixed up world, keeping calm is a necessity for living our best life. Anything that can help keep our mind clear and our heart at peace, is something worth going for. Remember, when we are better, it helps everyone around us be better 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 found this quote (from unknown) that said - “I fell in love with this quote: ‘Discipline is remembering who you said you wanted to be.'”  This is short, yet so powerful. As soon as I saw it, read it and it sunk in - I was reminded instantly about doing things to help make myself be better in order to not only go after the things I want to do in my life, but also to help those that I love be their best too!  Let this quote sink into your heart and then see what you are feeling & thinking.

I found an interesting post that got me thinking a little bit where Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) showed this image of glass where there was a line in the middle.  Above the line, it said “People who wonder whether the glass is half empty or half full, miss the point.”  On the bottom half of the glass, it says “The glass is refillable.” I've always been a self-described “glass half full” kind of guy. What I guess I was missing was the fact that the glass (my glass, my life, me, etc.), was always still there to be refilled. All parts of life are part of this “keep pouring” mentality. The one thing that isn't - it's time. Once it's gone, it's gone. Now, we can do things to help us maximize our time, and help ourselves to make time for the things we want to do in life. Great lessons here for me and 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.

Found a great reminder Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard) where this thought was shared: “The quickest way to succeed is to start now and figure it out as you go. You can't learn how to drive in a parked car.” So many thoughts came to mind when I saw this. I think it's easy to imagine sitting in a parked car, sitting on a bike, on a skateboard, a motor cycle, etc., and it's not going anywhere. Or maybe it's not even running or turned on. When it comes to acting on ideas or projects, starting to move forward is a good thing. Finding out new information or getting help along the way instead of being too afraid to even put the car in drive. I've done too much sitting in a parked car at times or maybe even too afraid of unlocking the car and getting in.  What about you? Anything you are hesitating about to put your car in drive? Or peddle your bike? Or simply taking a step forward  to start going in the direction you want to go in?  Yea… me 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 found one of the simplest pieces of advice that I need help with and maybe others need this too. From Overmind (@overmind01) this thought is shared:  “Don't blame the distractions, improve your focus.”  There are so many distractions in the world and in front of us, now more than ever before it seems. As stated in this episode, I clicked on a “distraction” right before I hit the record button. My focus is something that not only do I need to work on improving, I'm the only one that can do it! Again, this is on a long list of things that I know I need to keep working on. For me, there will never be a day where I don't have something to 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.

As if I needed another rule to follow. This one is something you will want to connect with I think and it's not that difficult to understand. From Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) where this is shared:  “The Rule of 100 - If you spend 100 hours a year in any discipline, (which is only 18 minutes a day), you'll be better than 95% of the world in that discipline. Consistency is everything.”  This is something that anyone can connect to any discipline or more than one discipline. Just think of the great things you can do, not to say your #1, but to make a difference with others. To have a service, product, idea, etc., that can help others - just because you had the faith and effort to have consistency in doing what lights you up! The world needs this - more people to share the things that light that spark within them.   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 always seems, sad as it is, that we humans tend to not only learn lessons from others more so when they are gone, but humans have a sad track record, that looking back throughout history - we don't learn these lessons too well. Now of course this does not mean every single human being throughout history - tons of great people for sure that know and live these lessons. One of the best was Jane Goodall (look her up) and here is a quote from her that really hits home now that she just recently passed. She reminded us that “You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”  A conversation that I had with my buddy Coach Dave Ruekert recently, reminded me about the choices we have both made to help others through teaching and coaching. Really got me thinking about how much I need to stay on the journey I'm on and maybe look for different ways of continuing to connect to students and teachers along with athletes and coaches. We all have the ability to make “the world” better, right where we are at. The world needs us to do that 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.

Saw an interesting list from Book Therapy (@Book_therapy223) where they shared these six items. “Discipline is not hard. You just don't know these secrets: 1) Find your why, 2) Routine is Important, 3) Mindset Matters, 4) Celebrate Small Wins, 5) Visualize, and 6) Reset, Don't Quit. These items got me thinking about a lot of things that I want to keep working on so that I can be at my best. I keep reminding myself that when I'm at my best - so many other people benefit too.  Remember, this list is something you can totally take on yourself - you and the one in the mirror of course.  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.

Today there is no shortage of information out there - the key is to find the good stuff in order to keep getting better. Out of the many things that I listen to so that I can invest in myself, and try to keep the spark going for myself. Tons of stuff for you to connect to, here are three of the many that I lean on.  First, John O'Leary! You've heard about him many times on my podcasts. Here is his link to his Website. This is a BIG DEAL right here. The movie Soul on Fire - John O'Leary's life story… the movie comes out October 10. Find out more info HERE. It's a must see movie as my wife and I got to see one of the special previews, back in August. It's a powerful & emotional movie that has tons of life lessons. Please, check it out!!   Secondly - Mitch Albom!!  I have been connected to Mitch for more than 40 years starting with his newspaper columns. His book Tuesdays With Morrie was a life changer for so many people, including Mitch.  His new book comes out Oct. 7 - Check out some info about “Twice” - click HERE for more information about his new book plus all the other items on his website.  Finally, the recent episode of Ben Newman interviewing Inky Johnson. Amazing conversation with so many inspirations and ideas for us to keep getting better. Whatever you connect with - keep finding them in order to keep getting better.  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.

Mike discusses the importance of maintaining a positive work environment, referencing a book by John Gordon, 'The No Complaining Rule'. They distinguish between complaining and problem-solving, emphasizing that complaints are about issues beyond one's control, while problem-solving involves addressing issues that can be resolved. Mike outlines their commitment to not tolerate negative energy or gossip in the workplace, sharing an example of firing an agent who was a constant complainer. They encourage employees to voice their concerns directly to them, as they value their input for improvement. Mike's goal is to foster a culture where employees can thrive without being hindered by negativity.

I came across a couple of great posts that really got me thinking about something we all do and the importance of realizing that there is a ton to learn from this event.  What I found from Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) was a great reminder as to what failure is all about. Here it is: “F = Fall, A = Acknowledge, I = Investigate, L = Learn, U = Understand, R = Realign and the E = Evolve”. Some great reminders for us to always connect with, since we all have Failure as part of our everyday lives! The second thing that I remembered to share came up as I was recording this episode. It came from Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard) where this was posted for us to remember too: “Be loyal to your future, not your past.” Powerful words to connect with learning from failure in our lives.  This was truthfully, a great start to my day that I needed for sure. Hope (as always) that 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.

I came across a powerful post from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) where this African Proverb was shared: “No matter how sharp your teeth are, you can't bite water.  Meaning - Each problem comes with its own solution. Take time to understand the nature of the situation before taking action. Powerful thoughts here that I never really thought about before. Chewing water (yes I tried it), gets you nowhere. Chewing water should not be a problem because we don't need to do it. I do appreciate the connection to problems that have their own unique solutions AND I know for sure that I don't want to cause a ton of problems for myself, since the world & other people seem to do enough of that for all of 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.

Found this post that is connected to The Ryder Cup (currently going on at the time of this recording - the USA team has a lot of work to do to get closer to the European team.)  But this clip came from DAILY HOVI (@dailyhovi) - where Viktor Hovland says about his plans to  just laugh off comments from the crowd while playing the match in New York City (notorious for the jeering of visiting opponents) because they can't be worse than his own thoughts that he has going on in his head. This clip from Viktor is so powerful as it simply is not just about golf, but more importantly about life. Side note: Europe did win the Ryder Cup.

Still hanging onto John O'Leary's podcast that I shared yesterday. If you need the link again to check out this episode - click HERE. It's a great episode to listen to again and I'm zeroing in on one of the questions that John asks all of his guests. They are called the Live Inspired 7 and I'm focusing in on is #2:  “What is a characteristic or trait that you possessed as a child that you wish you still exhibited today?” You heard what DeVon's answer was.

Found a post from a relatively new source and I'll make sure you understand what this is about and what it's not. The source was Philosophy of Ages (@PhilosophyAges) and what they shared was this: “A millionaire once said: People don't have the patience to dedicate 3 years to building their own business, but they do have the patience to work for others for 40 years.”  Now one thing for sure, it's not about making a ton of money. It's all about having the patience to dedicate to yourself. To keep investing in yourself. To become the best you can become. It's something to keep working on all the time. Plus, another thing… you want to spend 40 years doing something for a career, make sure you love getting up for it every day!! Find whatever lights that spark inside of you. Have the patience to do just that!  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 great post that ties into something else that I saw this morning and it all centers around the importance of always learning. Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) shared this thought:  “Those who keep learning will keep rising in life.” ~ Charlie Munger. This was also connected to another post that I saw this morning with a quote (even though I butchered the thought) from Brian Tolentine, M.Ed. - “Students need to read books. Entire books. Our society is distracted, unfocused, and in a hurry. A curriculum that rushes through content perpetuates the anxiety of our time. Reading a book (slowly and leisurely) is a countercultural act.” We are all students in life and life is always a teacher. Keep investing in yourself. When we are at our best, those around us benefit too. The world needs us to be our best!  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.

Leaning on this guy a lot lately and his message today is one that all of us can make a personal connection with.  It comes from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) and he shares these thoughts about the quote he connects this with. Mark's thoughts are: “A message for today … Success isn't always instant or visible. It's built in the quiet hours, when no one is watching. Every bit of effort, every act of dedication adds up. Even when recognition seems distant, keep showing up—your breakthrough is closer than you think.”  There are so many things that we are doing in life that don't get noticed by others. Remember, that's not what we are looking for. What we are looking for, I think, is that WE notice the little things we are doing AND we understand that we just need to keep working on them, keep doing them, keep learning new things to help us to keep going. Also remember that when we keep at the things, the habits, we keep getting better. To me, that is success. You being at your best means you are able to make a difference for others. When we are not working to be our best - we are not able to help others that much.  Keep working on ourselves my friends. Keep bringing the effort, the thought, the energy, etc., each and every day. That is success 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.

Sharing some great thoughts with you today from the legend, Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) where he reminds us in his “Mindset Monday” post, that “It's better to give than receive.  Yet some people are reluctant to give because they don't feel like they have enough. That's a scarcity mindset. When you give, you find abundance. The more you give, the more you receive to give away. Be a giver! Live generous today!”  The more we keep working on ourselves to be our best, we will have plenty to give away. Remember, it's not just money. It's our time, our listening, our laughter, our smiles, our help, etc. Things like this get me so fired up because I've seen it happen for me - especially lately. I'm glad I'm finally learning how important this is. I've had glimpses of it before throughout my younger years, but not the clear understanding on how awesome this is. Keep at it my friends. The world needs you at your best!!   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 had a start to my day where I was trying to connect with something better than what was swirling around in my head. I let the “doom and gloom” stuff going around in the world today, get to me. But like before, I knew it was happening and I set out to choose to do something about it.  A gratitude walk sure did help this morning along with a couple of other things. First came from Coach Ray Ostrowski (@CoachRayO3313) - a former student and now an outstanding teacher and coach himself. He shares this: “New Day - New Opportunity - Today is a new day. It does not care about what happened last week. It does not care what you plan to do next week. Today is a new day & a great opportunity to get better. Always be thankful and grateful for a new day. Make the best of your opportunity.” Perfect for me today! Next up was a post from Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) “Stay hopeful. You never know what tomorrow may bring.” Again, a message to help me readjust my day, which we all need once in a while.  Another couple of items  came from a teaching post that I got some very uplifting feedback from three former students and a couple of former colleagues, that once again, helped me readjust my day!! It's also probably time for a readjustment of my social media intake as well. So many more things to help me with where I want my days (and ultimately my life) to go in a more positive direction. Hope this helps you when you need a readjustment of your 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.

Found a powerful post from Mind Essentials (@Mind_Essentials) where the quote was shared on the side of a building.  (like it's that important for us to see it)  The quote? It's right here:  “Life's already hard, I don't wanna be around anyone who makes it worse.” )The quote comes from @bestmemory.)  This point has already been on my radar for as long as I can remember. I've always said that life and other people will make life hard - why would I make it any harder for myself. Now that doesn't mean that I have it all figured out and I haven't always listened to this quote. I struggle too.  I just hope and plan to not keep struggling with this.  I will still work on not letting myself help the world and others that cause troubles!! Then I will also be working on not causing myself problems 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.

It's been awhile since I have shared something from John Maxwell's “Daily Reader.”  This is from September 16 and it deals with Significance over Security.  It gets us thinking about settling for security (and in today's world, that sounds great with all of the crazy things going on), but it also gets us thinking about how significant we are in our lives.  It's a mind shift to our purpose and our life's mission. Doesn't matter our age or where we are in our lives, we can always make the shift he shares in this. This has been on my heart, on my mind and in my actions for a long time. I just need to turn up the heat of me going after this now in my life.

Saw a post that was funny, sad, but (to me) very true! It was from “Echoes of the Past” and the quote was an image of an older cowboy sitting on a horse with a slight smile and he is saying: “I guess they had to invent artificial intelligence since real intelligence is running out.”  My first thing I did was have a little smile and chuckle, but then quickly went  to a kind of sad feeling. But, I do feel the part of “real intelligence” disappearing quite fast. My thought is to invest in yourself in “human skills”. Those skills that (I think) technology cannot replace. For sure, learn about AI and other intelligence things, but don't let them replace your human skills. That's the key!  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 gave me this idea to put these two powerful things together.  First from Dear Self (@Dearme2_) where it was shared that “Consistency looks like nothing is happening, until everything changes. Awesome piece to hold onto and to keep being consistent every day we can. The second piece came from Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard), who I have connected with many times before and today's message was this:  “Discipline will carry you to places motivation can't.” These two connections to our success are there for us to connect to and make a part of our own success formula!  Make them your own!! Keep at it! Don't give up! Don't give into the crud happening in the world today!!  Oh… sorry… those things were directed at me.

I found a great connection with some understanding and uplifting items that I needed today, and it all came from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) where he shared his introduction to post today: “A message for today … Life isn't always fair — but that doesn't mean you have to give up. Refuse to be ruled by negativity. Stay strong, stay positive & keep moving forward. You are capable of achieving far more than you believe.” This got my attention right away as I saw that I was letting life beat me up a bit lately. The post that went with his intro, solidified why I needed this today. Check this episode out a few times as the more I spoke, the more things I started connected to it and people that provided some of those great connections!!  I found some awesome reflections here with this one and I hope it helps you reflect and make some deep-rooted connections to what you need to do in your life.

Just looking to be better my friends and I start with the man in the mirror, that's really the only person I can help get better.  We all have choices to make. One point for sure, is that we are all more alike than different.  Short and sweet with the show notes here.  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 post that I found that I know I have to work on each of these points and I dare say, others need this too. Deep Psychology (@DeepPsycho_HQ) shared this thought: “Your competition isn't other people. Your competition is… Your bad habits, Your distractions, Your insecurities, Your fear, Your ego, Your procrastination, Your lack of discipline!”  I can add so many other items to this list for sure.  This is a great discussion to have with yourself and keep battling, every single day, to focus on getting better in all of these areas. Again, the world needs us to keep getting better so that we can be difference makers for others. One thing I know for sure (and some days I need to remind myself frequently) that it's all 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.

The Daily Coach Newsletter / Podcast always has wonderful and life-changing lessons. It's not just for sports either - they are of course for life! This was right from the notes on their podcast:  “In this episode of The Daily Coach newsletter in audio form, we revisit and spotlight the incredible journey of Erin Matson — from four-time national champion at North Carolina to Head Coach of the UNC women's field hockey team at just 24 years old. Her story reminds us that leadership isn't about age or tenure, but about passion, knowledge, and the ability to elevate others.” I have heard about this coach and watched some news clips about her and the great part that jumped out to me was that leadership is for any age - but it needs to have these parts: passion, knowledge and elevating others. I think you mix in hard work, humility and the ability to connect with others with being authentic and great things can happen.  The podcast you can listen to HERE.  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.

A very inspirational lesson that I connected with from John O'Leary (@johnoleary.inspires - On Instagram) or his website: https://johnolearyinspires.com/) he shared this post that came from his podcast episode yesterday - find it HERE, where he reminded us: “Today, I invite you to say yes to invitations and interruptions you may not have planned for. Because the real gift we bring for others isn't our resume, achievements, or awards. The real gift is our presence.”  This got me thinking of so many things about me saying YES to more things that will benefit others along with myself. The other part I focused on with this episode was what John mentioned towards the end of the podcast. It's also about us saying NO to those things that distract us, that hold us back, our fears, those negative things around us, etc. To me, that is something that I need to do even more. Let me know how you connect with these things - especially after you listen to John O'Leary's podcast, episode 809. One last thing - PLEASE check out the movie about John's life and the lessons for all of us. Check out “Soul on Fire” when it comes out October 10.  Here is the official trailer for the film.  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.

More lessons from Coach Al Fracassa along with the connection to this post: Gratitude HQ  (@gratefuledu64)  Who shares this thought: “Let's make miracles happen today!” Where it goes on to share - “Sometimes miracles are just good people with kind hearts.” Coach Al was one of those good people that we can learn lessons from. Make sure you check out Brad Galli (@BradGalli) and find out a little bit more about his story. But you can also check out his story on Ch. 7 here in Detroit. Same link I had in the previous episode.

Powerful lessons from a coach of a bigtime rival of my high school. But this man, Coach Al Fracassa was an indirect difference maker for me through others that he connected with during his long journey at Brother Rice High School (@BroRiceWarriors). Big shout out to my friend Matt and his wife Jennifer and to Dr. Joe DiPonio too! Check out this link HERE for a bit more about Coach Al Fracassa. The message here is to simply find the lessons from people like Coach (those people with their lessons are all around us) and find what you can put in your tool belt to be a difference maker for others in your own way. The world is crying for people to have real leadership skills to help others! Here is the link to my post from 11 years ago too.

(This recording was from a Facebook Live video.)  Found a great reminder for all of us and it came from a quote that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. shared so long ago. I found this to be so true for me and then, as I remembered it's not all about me - I knew that each of us have things going on in our lives, that we simply must keep moving forward and do what we can do. The quote said: “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.”  It reminded me that I have so many reasons to not give up along with simply just keep moving forward with the things I have to face, get to do, in my relationships, everything! How about you? Just keep moving forward with things going on in 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.

I found a very simple post, but yet it reminded me how powerful this can be for all of us. We have to work at finding this a little bit more in today's crazy world, but it's worth it. Kylie Riordan (@mindfulheal) reminds us to “Listen to silence. It has so much to say. ~ Rumi.  There are times where I do connect to silence, in fact recently I have done this. She's right. There is plenty to connect with from being in silence. The older I get, the more I know that there is plenty to learn in silence along with plenty of other times where I do want to fill my time with music, “noise”, etc. I do love this reminder that it doesn't have to be awkward all the time.

Another gem tossed out from Coach Mark Hickie (@MPHickie)  and his thoughts on the quote he shared was this: “A message for today … Don't settle for less. Look at your life today. Identify what needs to change & take action now. It's never too late to start, no matter how tough it may seem. Keep pushing forward. You've got this!” I needed this reminder (as I usually do when I share things like this on my episodes.)  This has some really good points for all of us to take to heart, along with taking some action on 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 had a great start to my day this morning and it wasn't just the coffee! First my reading this morning from the book “Starting Your Day Right” by Joyce Meyer (short daily devotions for every day of the year). Today's reading reminded me about what we reap, we sow. What we put out there into the world, comes back to us - many times over!  Along with the reminder not to grow weary doing good. This worked in perfectly with this “Intention Card Deck” my wife and I got from going to a very early premier of “Soul on Fire” - it's the amazing story of John O'Leary. One that you are going to want to watch. Check the official movie site HERE.  The first card I saw in the deck was this one: “Can you find purpose in your day that is bigger than just your routine tasks? Is it possibly that one of your purposes is to share kindness with all those you interact with each day?”  That got me thinking about all the little interactions throughout a day that I see, that have kindness written all over them - despite what the world shows us on those days. The other side of the card had this direct quote from John O'Leary - “Indifference kills. But purpose breathes life into others, into our work, into our relationships, and into our existence.”  This got me thinking that there are still too many times that I do act indifferent and I need to lean onto my purpose more and more (being an educator, coach, husband, father, son, uncle, nephew, brother, neighbor, friend, an encourager, etc.) Each and every day we can connect with these thoughts - each of those days will be the best they can be.

I found this post that really made a connection with me as this is really for everyone. I shared it out there on Twitter / X and I mentioned that this “shoe fits for everyone” as we are all Champions!! It comes from Greg Berge (@gb1121) and the quote is:  "If you really want to be a game changer out there, be a master observer." - Peyton Manning   He goes on to connect that “Champions don't just play the game; they study it. Observation creates anticipation. Anticipation creates advantage.”  No matter what we do in life and who we are doing it with - we want to become Champions. This one got me fired up for the bigger picture it represents for all of 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.

This once came from Saturday and a fantastic lesson shared by Kirk Herbstreit (@KirkHerbstreit) and Coach Lee Corso. They have been working together on College GameDay (@CollegeGameDay) for nearly 30 years. The love and admiration that Kirk (a former football player) has for Coach Corso - there are so many lessons for all of us to pick up on from him. Do me a favor, check him out a bit to find out what some of these lessons are that they have shown. It's hard not choking up watching these two go through a bit of their journeys together.  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 great reminder from Inky Johnson (@inkyjohnson) where he reminds us that “Commitment is staying true to what you said you would do long after the mood that you said it in has left.”  This is one of the many stories of my life that I must always try and work on.  Keeping promises to myself so that I can try and be my best -it's a tough job, but worth it for me (and all of us) to keep trying.  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.

My friend John O'Leary (John O'Leary Live Inspired and @soulonfiremovie) came through with another powerful lesson for me (and you too).   He is always able to share things that help others in many amazing ways. With time flying by for him and all of us, John shared a powerful way of looking at the changes and pivots we all face in life. For him he thought back to a friend's passing, his dad losing his battle and his kids growing up. It's a profound and emotional podcast he shared and you can find it HERE. John got me thinking about the pivots in my life and the reframing of my feelings and thoughts about these changes. He really did help me to connect with some amazing reflections that helped me a ton. Good stuff for all of us, all throughout life!

Saw this post that helped me to wake up - along with my coffee - to remind me that I need to focus in on how I want my day to go!!  It's from Kevin DeShazo (@KevinDeShazo) shares this gem:  “Your future self will either bear the burden of your inconsistency today, or reap the rewards of your commitment today. You get to choose. Show up on purpose.”  This hit me this morning (morning of this recording) and it really changed my perspective of the day for me. I was also listening to “The Daily Coach” podcast - latest episode HERE, where it was shared about the “rule of thirds” which is coming from an Olympic coach and it basically says that during your days of working towards something, you will have a roughly each a third of good days, average days and crappy days. All three of them are to remind you that you are going for something great and to not let whatever day you are having get in the way of success.  Especially the crappy days - they are telling you the great thing you are going for, is not supposed to be easy - but it's worth it! I needed that reminder as well this morning. It's my choice as to how I will show up! (and I will show up!!)   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 true statement from one of the best at putting out difference-making posts. Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) shared this one that I found plenty of examples of the second part of the quote (sorry to say): “You'll never be criticized by someone who is doing more than you. You'll always be criticized by someone doing less. Remember that.” ~ Denzel Washington.  Those that know how things are done correctly - with class, character, hard work, etc., will usually always encourage rather than criticize. Those that have no character and have a title, have a lot of money, have status, and all that, and they maybe gained it by lying, cheating, stealing, etc., they usually are the ones that criticize (and even make fun of, put others down, etc. I think all of us need to go back to looking to do things in our lives to tilt the playing field back to kindness, encouragement, compassion, etc.  Go back to podcast episode #1648 - the Ripple Effect!!  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 and of course I've seen it before, but this time it's voice was a little louder when I came across it. This came from Gratitude HQ (@gratefuledu64) -  “The ‘ripple effect' means that #KindnessMatters ! A single act of kindness, like offering help to someone, can inspire that person to be kind to others, creating a chain of positive interactions. WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!”  This thought that all of us can tap into goes along with this post - “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” ~ Mother Teresa.  In a world where action is needed to help others and make a difference with all of the injustices going on around us, we all can “cast a stone” of kindness, empathy, love, speaking up, reaching out to others to share thoughts and ideas, along with making sure we keep investing in ourselves to be our best selves. Just like the previous podcast - if we keep “our lamps lit”, it helps our journey and also the journeys of those around us. Making a difference for ourselves and others, should be something we all strive for.  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 found one that really hit me hard as there is a lot of connection to this one for me.  It comes from another one from my “All Star” lineup starters, Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) reminds us of this important life point: “Your laziness is disrespectful for the people who believe in you.” Looking back throughout my life, dang, I've been so guilty of this so often. This goes deeper as I'll share some of those thoughts here 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.
