I came across a great post that had an interesting connection of things that people connect to gratitude. From Roseann | Keep On Going Motivations (@Motivateme247) shared this thought: “If you can’t find joy in a cup of coffee, you won’t find it in a yacht. Gratitude treats all things the same.” I love my coffee and I have always found joy, solitude, peace, etc., with my coffee. For sure, I don’t want a yacht or anything that can be labeled as fancy. No problem if that gives you incentive for life, but that’s not for me at all. A few good thoughts (I thought) in this episode. Thanks for listening.

I found a couple of posts that really focused on some points that I think we need to have more examples of in our world. The first one was from Motivational Quotes (@motivational) where we are reminded about some things that really “Speaks loudest” when it comes to helping to make a difference with others. This post goes on to share these things that do have a “loud voice”: “It’s not your wallet, your title or your status. It’s how you treat others that speak the loudest.” The second connection came from Coach AJ Mental Fitness (@coachajkings) where he shares this classic reminder from one of the greats of any sport and all of history - “John Wooden said, “Helping others is perhaps the greatest joy! You cannot have a perfect day without helping others with no thought of getting something in return.” Acts of service enrich our lives. It means selflessness, kindness, and serving. Serving is a reward by itself.” Awesome thoughts for all of us to be better for ourselves and for others too! Thanks for listening.

This one stood out to me because I know I have fears and I know they are getting in the way of me living my life to the fullest. It comes from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) and it’s a short but powerful reminder: “The fears we don’t face become our limits.” - Robin Sharma. I have had things getting in my way for 20 + years and to top that off, not only do I know about them - a few of my best friends know it too. You see, they have been around me that long, always encouraging me that I can do these things, but the final decision needs to come from me. Another key element. Since it’s been 20 or so years, I look ahead to another 20 years. Yikes!! I’ll be just around the corner (if I’m blessed enough to see this corner) from turning 80 years old!!!! Time waits for nobody!! I don’t have all the time in the world where we think we do sometimes. I will continue to try and “talk to myself, rather than listen to myself” in going after whatever I have to do to get through these fears. When I step back a bit, they really are not that big of a deal for sure. Thanks for listening.

Again, it happened again. A message that not only I needed to see, but that I have been reminded about it from different places. This time it came from Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) where this message was shared: “You will never hear another person's voice more than you hear your own. Be intentional about the way that you talk to yourself.” It’s an old saying that I have heard for a long time, but since I needed it as recently as this morning, I needed to share it with you. It’s connected with - “talk to yourself rather than listen to yourself.” Most of the time when I’m feeling down about things in life, I start listening to the critic inside of me, instead of the coach and cheerleader! I know I need to continue to tap into that coach & cheerleader, without me having to wait for this quote coming back into my life. It’s something I know I need to do, want to do, and will do!! How about you? Thanks for listening.

Found a post about some really good advice that I have heard shared from others too. This one came from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) where they shared: “The best weight you will ever lose is the weight of other people’s opinions of you.” I have always remembered the line that reminds us that opinions are like people’s backsides, everyone has one. The world seems to be never short of others' opinions and it can be tough to not only filter through them, but to also not let them get to us. Having confidence in ourselves in things we want to do helps to focus on what we can control and not worry so much about the opinion of others. Our lives and our troubles can lighten up a bit when we get rid of those opinions from others. Thanks for listening.

Saw another great post that had a very simple, yet powerful reminder for all of us and it came from POSITIVITY (@PositivitySaid) “Just enjoy life. You will never be this young again.” I sat back to let this sink in a bit and it reminds me to try and do the most with every day that I have. The things that I want to do, need to do, get to do, etc., and as I get older, some of those things (and many others), will only get more difficult with age and time adding up. It’s true for all of us - make sure we remind ourselves of this point every day! Thanks for listening.

Love getting reminded about things that I can keep working on. Things that I know I need to keep working on. Thanks Coach Ray Ostrowski (@CoachRayO3313) “The true test… even when things aren’t going your way, find a way to make it happen anyway.” These were his thoughts and there is much more to this as you will hear in this episode. These are things that we all can work on. Not much more important things in life than our character. Something to guard for sure, all throughout life! Thanks for listening.

Found a great post from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) “A reminder: Bigger dreams call for healthier habits and healthier habits require more self discipline.” This is something for sure I needed to see, read, hear, think, do, etc., more of in my life. I love the simple fact that we can work on our dreams, work on our habits along with working on our self-discipline. This is, of course, easier said than done. But at least, we can for sure control these three. We are for sure better off taking care of these ourselves, instead of letting others or the world make those decisions for you.
