Got a great reminder for one of the important lessons in life - coming from Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) “Life's so short. Spend it with friends who make you laugh and feel loved.” It’s a great time of year to reflect on things like this and then try to put them into action each and everyday, not just during the holidays. I am also reminded that I need to be this person for others as well. Once again, the world would be a lot better if more people took this to heart & the world needs anyone and everyone to take this to heart. Thanks for listening.

Saw an amazing post that I also used to put together a little video presentation for some basketball coaches / teams, and the message was something that all of us can use - especially me. I found this from Coach AJ Mental Fitness (@coachajkings) who I find so many great ideas to post, podcast about, create things from, and generally find a great amount of inspiration. In this message that he posted, Coach Kara Lawson (@karalawson20) said, "Preparation doesn't guarantee a result. It just guarantees growth." She brings up four thoughts that help us even more. “Preparation matters because: • You are your habits, • It builds your foundation, • It's where growth happens, and • Details make big differences.” I love these reminders because this is for everyone that pays attention, not just if you play for Coach Lawson. I hope you find a few things from this that inspired you to reflect a bit differently in your life as it has helped me to keep looking to get better in my life. The key is for me to take this approach every single day!! Thanks for listening.

Saw this one when I needed it - which usually happens that way as the things I stumble across always seem to make a connection to me. Hopefully they do with you too. This is from Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) “Stop using your energy to worry. Use your energy to believe, create, love, grow, glow, manifest, and heal.” I’ve been worrying a bit too much over the last couple of days - and other times over the last few years and I loved this for giving me some reflections on what I should be doing with my energy. I hope it helps you find some things to think about how you use your energy. Thanks for listening.

Saw this great post and an even better reminder for all of us about bouncing back. Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) comes back with another great thought: “Flowers grow back even after they’ve been stepped on. So will you.” All of us have so many things going on in our lives where we feel that we’ve been stepped on, pushed around, knocked over, etc. The key is to always try and pick ourselves up and to keep going. Good thoughts here that I share with you - or I at least think they are good ones…. Remember, not the only ones out there, but these hopefully will be good for you to think about and share with others. Thanks for listening.

Found an amazing reminder this morning from Inspiration & More (@LifeWithJohn) where he shared a powerful, yet simple reminder for us all about our health. He shared: “Health does not always come from medicine. Most of the time it comes from peace of mind, peace in the heart, peace of soul. It comes from laughter and love!” I needed this reminder for sure as most days get a little crazy and I need to keep reminding myself that this is one of the things that I need to keep building my life with. As always, I’m hoping it helps you too. Thanks for listening.

It’s been a little while since I was reminded about some important life lessons from Damon West (@damonwest7) and he reminds us that: “Here are some ways to be a coffee bean and keep your momentum up especially around this time of year! Remember, you are capable of much more than you think.” There are 4 areas he shares about how we can become a Coffee Bean: 1) Fuel your life with purpose, 2) Be humble and hungry, 3) Make life a mission trip and 4) Remember when you succeeded (click HERE for the video on Damon West’s story). This is something each of us can connect with and take with us wherever we go. Go out and get his book “The Coffee Bean”... it’s one worth keeping a copy all throughout life and giving them away to others too. Thanks for listening.

Another fantastic and powerful post that just got delivered to me from the one and only, Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_). Listen to this one, “You become unstoppable when you work on things that people can’t take away from you.” This post really got me fired up and looking to continue to work hard and make changes that I know I need to make in my life. I know that I need to simply keep working on these things a little bit every single day and things will keep getting better (maybe not easier), but they will improve. Amazing to think that others - even though they will try, they won’t be able to take these things away from us. Very cool stuff!! Thanks for listening.

Found myself watching a clip that I have seen & watched before and again, it’s a message that I needed to hear & see again - it’s got that much value for sure. Coach Kara Lawson (@karalawson20) is the head women’s basketball coach at Duke University. She’s one of the best out there as a coach and a leader and of the reasons why she is - she played for the legendary coach and leaders, Coach Pat Summitt at the University of Tennessee. Kara’s website. Watch this video first - this is where Coach Lawson shares her thoughts on “handling hard better.” After that video, please check out the clip that ESPN did about this speech and it goes into a bit more info on who Coach Lawson is. I think it was a masterful video - check it out here. Life gets better when we learn how to handle hard better. This message (lesson) is like many, it’s not just about sports…. It’s about life!! Please… share this episode of mine (and hers too) and reach out and let me know what you took away from Coach Lawson’s messages. Life-changing stuff… only if you take it to hear & apply it to your life. I know I need to do this for sure and as always, I’m looking for help on how to do that. Go back and listen to my episode 1167 where I connect other lessons to Coach Lawson’s message about handling hard better. Thanks for listening.
