A recent revelation came while washing dishes. I have been working with my 12 year old to be more thorough in this task. There have been frequent occasions where he has placed a dish in the rack to dry that he believes is clean only to be inspected by me or mom to find fault in his effort. As I was washing my dish this morning I found myself paying close attention to detail to ensure that any dish I wash is the prime example for him. I clearly see that holding him accountable for the level of cleanliness we expect I am paying more attention to my thoroughness with this task. If you want others to follow, you first must lead. Love Always - Coach J If you want to live a productive and happy life stop measuring yourself to others successes. Start logging your progress and be scaled relative to your accomplishments. Now that you have proper proportions and balance in your life dream big, shoot for the stars because you are well defined and self sustained. You can sky rocket after your wildest dreams - again NOT looking to others for what they have done. In the beginning get yourself right. Once you are strong internally, you build externally to achieve the heights that you desire, and nothing can stop you! Love Always - Coach J When it's Showtime it's lights, camera, TEAMWORK! The most impressive displays are a team that is in synch and executes to the highest standard. Yesterday we talked about the reviewing your game plan. Today is the execution. Know your role in the situation, master your craft, and then you can support others when needed from a place of strength. Know your assignment to the point where it is second nature and you do not have to think but simply react. Now you are ready to win the game. Love Always - Coach J When the time comes and you are preparing to execute the plan. In that brief window between finalized plans and hitting the "go" button take a moment to perform a high level review of the game plan. You are not diving into the details, you are looking at the project from start, check in, to completion. Familiarize yourself with the pillars, the challenges, the players, and the game plan. Now you're ready to go! Love Always - Coach J There are many works of art right in front of you. Slow down and look around. Experience the craftsmanship that went into the blanket you wrap yourself in, the mattress you lay on, the home you reside in. Do you see the intricate details or have they faded over time? Do you see the brilliance in your teenager like you did when they were a toddler? The radiance of your wife like you did the day you met her? Take a moment to behold the remarkable beauty right in front of you. Love Always - Coach J Reflecting on James Allen's As A Man Thinketh - he mentions a mans mind is like a garden. The mind/garden will grow whatever is placed there. If you are intentional about what you plant and carefully clear the growth your life will be what you make it. If you let it run wild, anything can and will grow there. Plant carefully and diligently. Love Always - Coach J When the day is long and you have done your best there is one thing to know - the sun must always set. When there is more to be done and you are not sure where to stop there is one thing for sure - the sun must always set. The sun must set on every day just as it does on each interaction, each experience, they all must have a stopping point. The inverse is true as well so rest your mind, body, and soul and know the sun rises again tomorrow. Another chance to rise and shine! Burn bright today, and rest easy tonight.
