With the recent WNBA draft that I was watching, I caught a post from The Winning Difference (@thewinningdiff1) where they shared a video clip of a partial interview full of wisdom and advice that all of us (especially me) need to connect with.  “Just win every day that’s in front of you. Don’t worry about the future, don’t worry about the past, don’t worry about your mistakes. Don’t worry about anything but what you’re doing in that moment. Winning that day, conquering that day and just be where your feet are,” - Paige Bueckers (#1 overall pick)  Again, connecting with life lessons - not for basketball, but for life - is so important throughout our journeys through life.  Worrying is something that I’ve always done in my life and I’m finally figuring out I don’t have to choose to worry, nor do I have to spend my time on it as much as I’ve done. This is something that I need to keep working on.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rat

Watching some TV yesterday I was connected to MLB celebrating Jackie Robinson Day.  There was a special on MLB channel, called “Letters from Jackie” and I was amazed at the many things that he not only did for the great sport of baseball but for our country and really the world - when it comes to race relations and the things that people were willing to fight for. These things are what we are still dealing with in our world today. I was actually in tears, much like I was last year listening to Reggie Jackson sharing what he went through as a young baseball player trying to get into the big leagues. This all connected with me as to a message about perspective that I got from one of the posts from Rory Mcilroy winning the masters. Perspective from different sources - sports have it all the time - sure can help us in our regular 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 f

What a tremendous weekend of healing and watching The Masters golf tournament. The healing part - hand surgery this past Thursday. The golf part, the emotional roller coaster was so special & memorable for many reasons.  I saw this post from Shane Lowry (@ShaneLowryGolf) who was not only a competitor in the tournament and he was playing well enough for times to be looking at a possible victory, but he is also great friends with the eventual champion, Rory MciIory.  We all need friends like this, where Shane posted this:  “The Masters is one of the greatest weeks in golf. I was so disappointed with my performance Sunday but I gave it everything and that’s all I can ask for. I’ve never been happier to watch someone else achieve something that I want so badly myself. Rory deserves every bit of this and I was so happy to be there to watch him make history.”  Remember, if you want friends like this in your life, be this type of friend for others. The world needs more of this for sure. More people encouraging &

I found something recently that I think we all need to see. From Gratitude HQ (@gratefuledu64) #KindnessMatters “Let’s take action!”  The main thought shared is “The world is changed by your example not by your opinion.”  I think we all can agree there are way too many opinions flying around out there - especially on all forms of social media. So many of them are not really doing much good. More positive examples are needed and each of us can do a few of them here and there. The world needs this change 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

Found a great little quote here for all of us to focus on with trying to help others. Art of Thinking (@Art0fThinking)  mentions this great reminder: “Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.” - Plato. The world needs more encouragement, even when someone is going slower than what we think they should. Their journey is not ours, remember that. This also goes with any and all conversations that we have with the person staring back at us in the mirror. The world needs more encouragement 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.coachtoexpec

Saw this image of a poster on a city wall - it came from Drew Maddux (@DrewMaddux) and before that quote, he asks: “Are you willing to outlast the wait?!”  The quote on this poster: “The ‘win’ is coming, don’t let the ‘when’ worry you.”  The key is to just keep working hard. Good habits over and over make a difference.  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

This is probably a repeat but I wanted to remind myself of this too… great stuff from Alan Stein, Jr. (@AlanSteinJr)  -“Blaming, complaining, and making excuses will never move you forward or make your situation better.”  I have found myself still doing all three of these, but I’m catching myself sooner when they pop up. I’m also noticing others that do these a bit more too. At those times, I need to not join them in doing these. Unfortunately I think we are seeing way too many examples of this all around us in today’s world. Plenty of lessons of what not to be like for sure.

I think so many people, at different times in life, get caught up with this one. I found it from Motivational Quotes (@motivational) and it was simply titled,  “Don't worry”. It’s all about how we need to not worry about what people are thinking about us, or not liking us; when really they are working on liking themselves.  As we get older I think we see the truth in this and I know that I wished that I had learned this earlier.  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 l

I watched the NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship the other night where the University of Connecticut won their record 12th national title. This comes from one of their stars and it was posted by The Winning Difference (@thewinningdiff1)  and this was shared: “Just responding to life’s challenges and trying to fuel them to make me a better person, a better player. Continue to grow in my leadership abilities, being a great teammate and just staying who I am and standing firm in who I am”. - Paige Bueckers Winners know the difference.  This connects to all of us, in our own lives, whether we are playing any sport or not. That’s what I love about things that people do in life where there are lessons for ALL of us to learn, without doing what that person does.  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/coachtoexpects

I found this powerful, yet simple reminder about what growth is not connected to.  Motivational Quotes (@motivational) reminds us that:  “Anyone who has grown mentally, physically, or spiritually knows that growth is not found in comfort.”  Don't get me wrong, there are times to be comfortable for sure. But, I know I can’t spend most of every day looking to simply be comfortable. I need to put action behind things that I must do, get to do, want to do, etc.  Talk with that person in the mirror to see what’s next for you to tackle.  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.coach

Found a reminder for all of us - comes from Greg Berge (@gb1121)  where he shares this with everyone:  “You are who you hang with. Surround yourself with the following people… - They are happy for your success - Driven and goal oriented - They make you better - Positive energy givers - Respectful of others - Resilient mindset - Kind hearted - 100% ers.  You owe it to yourself.” Of course I know this is what we all should strive to be for others too. I think it’s a great reminder in what to look for around us in others and for the person in the mirror staring back at us. We have so many examples of WHAT NOT TO BE in today’s world - here is a great reminder on a few things we need to put out there in the world, a bit more often.  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”:  @c

I don’t think that I can (or should) go too far away from mentioning the importance of Gratitude. I found this post from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) where this reminder is shared - “Gratitude… Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.” - Eckhart Tolle.  It got me thinking about how there are many days that I do connect with gratitude, especially on my walks with our dog - but I need to have a bit more intentional focus on connecting with them more often every day!  It helps to inspire me to continue on, to work hard, to keep overcoming setbacks and obstacles, along with reminding me to connect more with the people in my life that I love and care for.  I feel good about my day when I connect with gratitude 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:  h

I came across a post from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) that shared a much needed reminder (at least for me) to “do more things that make you forget to check your phone.” It’s been on my mind lately as to making more of an effort to stay off my phone / computer more and do things that I used to not think twice about before all of this technology came into our lives. It’s something that I know I need to do a bit more often and it’s probably true for all of us.  Seeing that there is more and more technology in our lives and even more coming in our futures, I think it’s something …. No, I know it’s something that I have to do a bit more of. Life is so much more than the technology we carry around with us all the time.

I found a gem this morning that really has a great change in mindset for all of us. This came from Sam Rothman (@samrothman_) who is a sports reporter and she shared this:  “Danny White saw Kim Caldwell as a rising star. He was right, and now she is staying through 2030.” In this press conference Coach Kim Caldwell (University of Tennessee women’s basketball coach) was talking about the Athletic Director at Tenn. who offered her a contract extension. She said -  "I will spend every day trying to prove him right. I spent a lot of this season trying to prove people wrong, but you have to prove the people that believed in you right." #LadyVols  I think it’s a very positive mindset shift, to view why we do things in life to prove our encouragers correct rather than focusing on the critics. I think it also reminds us to be that encourager for others too. Awesome post here for sure!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on

I found a very simple thought today from Clint Hurdle (@ClintHurdle13) “Be a friend. Be a helper. Be kind. That's it.” A very simple and easy to understand message that all of us need to hear. The world needs you to be a bit more like this and I’m talking to myself in the mirror right now my friends. We don’t know what others are exactly going through, but we can say that everyone is taking on some type of battle where they need us to be a friend, a helper and to be kind. Hope we can see it from our so-called “leaders” 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.coachtoexpec

I found a couple of posts here with some important reminders that I needed and hopefully you can connect with them too. First up was from Mind Essentials (@Mind_Essentials) where we are reminded about Joy and the importance of us making the choice to have more of it in our lives!! I know I need to focus on not only creating it, but hanging onto it! The second one that connected with me on this episode was from Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) where this was shared about the importance of having these 4 Important Words In Life...Love, Honesty, Truth and Respect! So again, for me, I need to keep working on things that have these “anchors” in my life. In today’s world and with some of the people in it, both famous and not so much - we need to make more choices (maybe it’s just me that needs to do this) that brings these items into a permanent part of 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 ITune

I found a great list of self care tips from Roseann | Keep On Going Motivations (@Motivateme247) and they really caught my eye due to the fact that I need to do these a bit more - consciously do them.  In today’s world, investing in ourselves is so vitally essential - it still is true today, our best investment is in ourselves. There are so many ways to invest in ourselves and this list sure does help.   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

Found this powerful and peaceful reminder from Mind Essentials (@Mind_Essentials) which shares this: “The greatest wealth you could ever have is having a healthy body, calm mind, and good people in your life.” I guess I’m still working on this formula. I am blessed with having so many wonderful and awesome people in my life. The calm mind I seem to have here and there, it’s not permanent for sure, but I’m working on that every day. The healthy body part - that’s the tough one for me as I’m living with different forms of pain every day. Some days are better than others and one thing for sure, this will be with me the rest of my life. I just need to keep finding ways to deal with it and not make it worse. My first thought for sure - I am a very blessed person for the life I have. I will keep that gratitude going every day along with the other things I want and need 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 an

A long time basketball coach and someone who I’ve watched from afar for a long time, Tom Crean (@TomCrean) put this post out recently and I think it’s right on target:  “You can never “escape” all the drama and negative people around but you can “avoid” them if you really try. Wasting time on people with ALL the answers or ALL of the negativity takes work but it’s well worth it. Your energy is always up for grabs. Don’t let the naysayers in.” This has been on my radar for a long time, but it seems like the light has been turned up on this for me lately. I think it’s one of those things that distractions for the world seem to be at an all-time high, but that’s only if you let it. But now, it simply takes a bit more focus and energy to make that happen & it’s entirely up to ourselves to pull it off. That’s what I’m trying to do a bit more now. One thing for sure, I’m going to keep trying to focus on the important things in life & not get caught up in the crap that seems to be all around us.  Thanks for
