This is something that I found very interesting and very true! Again, something I need to work on in a bigtime way! It’s a great way to remember not to let someone’s brief negative thought or action towards us, and let it ruin an entire day (or even longer). This is something that I have let bother me overnight at times, and ruin a decent night’s sleep. That can’t happen any more. Let me know if you have ways of dealing with this better than I do. Another home run by Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) and I think this is someone you should look up to find more about. Thanks for listening.

Sat down with a couple of wonderful guys that have a lot to share and to more importantly help others. Coach Dave Ruekert is someone that you know through my show for sure. He’s got a longtime good friend in Coach Ryan Mills and Ryan reached out to Dave a while back, wanting some way of telling his story in order to help others. Ryan has many things he is dealing with and he wants to share some insights, thoughts and ideas as to how we can handle the things we have going on in our lives. Now, remember, this in no way is meant to be professional help. In fact, Ryan and Dave remind us all that we need to reach out to professionals if we find ourselves needing help with our mental health for sure. A couple of things I was reminded about in our talk - everyone has battles that we are fighting with and dealing with AND there are good people out there that want to help. Understanding others is key, all throughout life and since life is all about relationships, listening to stories that Ryan shares can help us all become better people for ourselves and for others. If you want to reach out to Coach Dave - (davidruekert@gmail.com) or Coach Ryan - (ryanpaulmills23@gmail.com). This is something that I found very interesting and very true!

History teaches some wonderful lessons, if you are willing to pay attention. This one comes from Wisdom (@Wisdom_HQ) and they are connecting with a big-time historical figure, Winston Churchill who said “Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.” Since we all stumble, fall, fail, get distracted, etc., having an attitude of enthusiasm to get through life with, it will pay off for sure. I love this reminder and I need to keep looking to be fired up about figuring things out, learning new things, overcoming failures, realizing that our attitude does make a difference. I need to remember, I can have enthusiasm about all things in my life, I might as well choose to get through the tough times as best I can with a decently positive attitude. Thanks for listening.

Found a great connection to Thanksgiving here from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) and it really got me thinking about how grateful I should be each and every day! Here was my intro to the post I shared on Twitter / X: “Powerful reminder … even when I’m thinking / feeling that I’m having a “horrible” day… there are so many people throughout the world that would be smiling and consider that same day as a great day or their best day!” The actual post was this: “Your “normal” day is someone’s dream, so be thankful everyday!” I forget many times that even my worst days, that would still be someone’s dream day!! How so many people in this world would do anything to have one of our “bad” days. This day of gratitude (and it’s been said all the time) should not be celebrated just on one day. This is something for me to work on for sure. I know this helped me in a bigtime way. I hope it does the same for you. Thanks for listening.

Found another great reminder from a longtime connection that I have had to finding successful clues. Alan Stein, Jr. (@AlanSteinJr) brings up this very important point that we all can use in life. “Blaming, complaining, and making excuses will never move you forward or make your situation better.” There have been times in my life where I thought that one of these 3 (usually all 3 together) would make me feel better, help me in some way, etc. But I usually found out later that it caused me more trouble for sure. I think we all know plenty of people that blame, complain and make excuses all of the time! Those people I usually separate myself from in some way, since I don’t want their behavior and choices, having an effect on me. I make enough trouble for myself that I certainly don’t need others doing it for me. Thanks for listening.

Saw a smart little reminder from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) where they shared this powerful reminder - “Accept both compliments and criticism. It takes both sun and rain for a flower to grow.” That’s something that not only life throws at us - both the sun and rain, but we also do it to ourselves. I think we need to make a conscious choice to watch how we do this with ourselves but also, who do we have around us filling our heads & hearts with things that might lean us towards one way more than another. I’m working on complimenting myself more than putting myself down. Not always successful with this battle, but I’m getting better. Hope you are too. Thanks for listening.

Found some great advice that has been echoed so many times from Gary Vee (@garyvee) but it’s connected this time to: Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) “Never wish them pain; that’s not who you are. If they caused you pain, wish them healing.” There seems to be “mud” being thrown all over the place these days. Bad-mouthing others, blaming others, gossiping about others, putting out false information about others, etc. I’ve been focusing on not getting caught up in things like this. I have been finding that there is truth to the statement, “where focus goes - energy flows!” For me, I have too many things to accomplish, build, go after along with helping those I love to do great things living their lives; and I don’t have time to go after people to cause them troubles and problems. Life is way too short for sure. This is really a no-brainer for me. Hope it is for you too. Thanks for listening.

Going a little deep emotionally on this post as I found one that really has connected to some other things that I have found lately. This one comes from Kylie Riordan (@mindfulheal) where she shares a quote from Terri St. Cloud and here it is: “And if, when it is all over, I’m asked what I did with my life, I want to be able to say “I offered Love!”” WOW! Since we are getting closer to the end date in life than we were yesterday, I really feel this is a very powerful mindset to have. Look ahead to how you want your finish line to look! Have the end in mind. Then build your days to connect with that. John O’Leary has that as one of his “Live Inspired 7”, a set of questions he asks each of his guests from his podcast - one of the questions is: “It’s been said that all great people can have their lives summed up in one sentence. How do you want yours to read?” First of all, I love looking at myself as being a great enough person so that I can have that shot of having my life viewed like that. Again, one sentence… that’s a powerful thought. For me it will have to contain something about being a life-long educator & coach, who loved his wife & family, friends and being a difference maker for his students, players, coworkers, etc. I think I need to zero in on this one sentence for sure and then continue to build my life around that statement. What would yours be like? Thanks for listening.
