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

I stumbled upon some thoughts about failure recently from a couple of great sources of learning about failure. Gary Vaynerchuk (@garyvee) recently shared a post where he reminded us that since we are human, we are indeed terrible at some things - but that doesn’t mean we are terrible as a person. When we lose at something - meaning we fail at something, that doesn’t mean we are a loser or a failure. The mindset and perspective on this is HUGE! It’s temporary. It’s an event when we fail, it’s not something that defines us as a person. A clip that is shared by Coach AJ Mental Fitness (@coachajkings) where he shares this video from Coach K where he says, "In order to get better, you change limits." "When you change limits, you're going to look bad and you're going to fail." Failure isn't a destination, it's a checkpoint. It means grit, courage, and choosing to endure. Listen to the confidence in Coach K’s voice here as he is explaining from the little bit that I am sharing. This is a great reminder for all of us when we fall down. Thanks for listening.

A little different episode today, right from the heart. The story today is about the power of relationships and the times throughout our life where they come back to us so that we can continue learning and growing. BIG shoutout to an incredible former student and player that is connected to this story and the powerful & inspiring lessons that she is still teaching me today! This one is one of many lessons that connect each and every one of us to each other. Sorry for the emotions and trouble talking - that’s one of many things about who I am that I’m proud of. Share with me any connections that you have to this as I need to keep learning, getting stronger and have the ability to be inspired to keep teaching others. Thanks for listening.
