As I continue to read Jon Gordon’s new book, “The 7 Commitments of a Great Team”, I continue to pick up so many life lessons. In part 2 of 5 Ways to Stay Positive, this one is titled “Inside Out.” Remember there is the acronym of LIGHT for these 5 steps and this one is the “I”. Jon reminds us that the real truth and power of our lives comes from inside us, not from the outside world. I love this point that he brings up that as we create our life from the inside out, it’s all about our spirit, our soul, our passion, and our power from within us. This is why it’s always so important to keep working on ourselves,all throughout life! Keep improving, it’s the way to go!! Thanks for listening.

I just got started reading Jon Gordon’s new book, “The 7 Commitments of a Great Team”, and it’s got some powerful lessons in it. Since teams are always a part of life, and it’s not just sports, I wanted to share these 5 parts of Staying Positive. Over the next five days I’ll be sharing some of my thoughts from his book. He’s all talking about “living LIGHT.” I’ll explain what that means throughout this coming week. To start us off, part 1 is all about “Love instead of Fear”. He brings up a couple of great points. Jon reminds us that Love puts a shadow on fear and helps to get rid of it. Fears are out to weaken us, put limits on us and strikes doubt all around us. Remember, Love is a choice! Contrary to what some people think - love is a big-time strength, not a weakness like some people think. I feel bad for those people that think it’s a weakness. Thanks for listening.

From a classic difference maker that has helped millions of people, this longtime golden advice comes from the great Jim Rohn and it’s shared by Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) where Jim reminds us to “Go for the pain of discipline, it weighs ounces. The pain of regret weighs tons.” Every time I hear or read this quote, it hurts. I have let things go for a long time where regrets are starting to get bigger. I’ve known it for 25 years or so on things that I wanted to create, go after, build, try, etc. All I can do - all any of us can do, is to use today to do something about those things. The discipline to do something today will be for sure easier than to try it later as we get older. Lot’s of personal reflections for me here in this one. Hope it helps you too. Thanks for listening.

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.
