You Can - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Wed. 6-19-24 #1276

June 19, 2024 11:00 - 6 minutes - 4.81 MB

Looking around for good stuff as always, and I came across this post from Kevin DeShazo (@KevinDeShazo) who brings up these connections of these things that we are totally capable of doing. He says:  “You can get stronger or weaker. You can get better or worse. You can grow or be stagnant. You can move forward or retreat. You can be healthy or unhealthy. You can be positive or negative. It’s 100% up to you. Take ownership.”  I know I need to do a better job at these things for sure.  Thanks ...

Focus On Improvement - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Tue. 6-18-24 #1275

June 18, 2024 11:00 - 6 minutes - 4.64 MB

Found a super short, 5 word powerful reminder for all of us.  It comes from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) and it simply says, “focus on improving, not proving.”  I think too many people today want to and need to “prove” to others something, instead of realizing everything they should look to do is to concentrate on improving themselves.  When we focus on self improvement, we benefit everyone in our life by simply looking to get better. It's a life-long pursuit, every single day!  Thanks for...

6 Luxuries - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Mon. 6-17-24 #1274

June 17, 2024 11:00 - 8 minutes - 6.03 MB

Found this post that went right to my heart as what I want to go after having in my life - these 6 luxuries in life are time, health, a quiet mind, slow mornings, ability to travel, and a house full of love.  It got me thinking about a few connections to each of these and how I want to create each of these in my life a bit more.  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 w...

Simple, But Not Easy - Motivation Monday Game Plan - #1273

June 17, 2024 04:00 - 9 minutes - 6.54 MB

Saw this post and not only did it make perfect sense to me, but I also needed to see this advice too!  Now the key is for me to implement it into my life.  The Winning Difference (@thewinningdiff1) - "To be successful at anything, the truth is, you don't have to be special. You just have to be what most people aren't: consistent, determined, and willing to work for it. No shortcuts." @TomBrady  The path to greatness is simple, but it's not easy.  Whatever it is that we want to go after in li...

One Leaf - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Fri. 6-14-24 #1272

June 14, 2024 11:00 - 6 minutes - 4.17 MB

I stumbled upon another great quote that got me thinking.  I found it from Bob Starkey (@CoachBobStarkey). It’s a quote from Chuck Page:  “A single leaf working alone provides no shade.”  I take that as each of us is like a leaf and we need to work together to provide “shade” (help, encouragement, support, love, etc.) I have a few more thoughts too about this idea of what a “leaf” is all about.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also lea...

Be Selective - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Thur. 6-13-24 #1271

June 13, 2024 11:00 - 7 minutes - 4.85 MB

Saw a powerful post from Holly Mattson (@Holly_Mattson1) “What we give attention to, we give power to. Be selective.” It reminded me of what Sam Crowley has said for awhile, “where focus goes, energy flows.”  It’s something that I’ve been connecting with more and something that I’ve been trying to get better at - FOCUSING on things that help me get things done along with helping me go in the direction I want (and need) to go in, instead of getting in my way and causing me problems.  There ar...

Don't Dim Your Light - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Wed. 6-12-24 #1270

June 12, 2024 04:00 - 14 minutes - 9.87 MB

Just got into a group with Ben Newman - host of the “The Burn Podcast”, so many powerful episodes for you to check out.  His coaching group that he just started (for free) is something I just connected with too.  Find more info here:  The Mental Toughness Academy.  This group is something that has some inspiring topics for helping me to focus on and to hold myself accountable. This also shows that there are things out there that don’t cost any money, that can help you to keep getting better ...

Daily Routine - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Tue. 6-11-24 #1269

June 11, 2024 11:00 - 8 minutes - 5.55 MB

I found a great post that got me chewing on some thoughts - this is from Philosophy Call | Modern Stoic (@Philosophy_Call) and it’s all about our Daily Routine and it’s from John Maxwell, who is someone for sure that you want to connect with.  He reminds us that we will never change our lives until we look deeply at our daily routines.  I found a lot of thoughts to connect with this one.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 ...

Lots To Say - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Mon. 6-10-24 #1268

June 10, 2024 11:00 - 4 minutes - 3.12 MB

This might be the most obvious quote that we can all understand, from Self-Care Canvas (@selfcarecanvas), “People have a lot to say about lives they’ve never lived.”  In today’s world of division, anger and hatred - we all have a choice as to what we “speak” about into the world.  I know what I want to choose to put out there. How about you? 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 othe...

Two Takeaways From A Coach - Motivation Monday Game Plan - #1267

June 10, 2024 04:00 - 10 minutes - 7.1 MB

Saw another great post from Coach AJ - Mental Fitness (@coachajkings) on a few points that he shared from Coach Luke Fickell and some important life lessons he learned while he was head football coach at Ohio State.  So many reminders lately of both of these points from things that I’ve seen lately - be our authentic selves along with learning from our mistakes.  A powerful story here that we all can relate to in our lives.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & sha...

Once Is Not Enough - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Fri. 6-7-24 #1266

June 07, 2024 11:00 - 8 minutes - 5.79 MB

Awesome new connection I found to picking up some good lessons.  This one comes from  Coach Lewis Caralla (@LewisCaralla) and he reminds all of us that “Once will never be enough.”  So many things in life that we do, especially those things that are connected to goals, projects, relationships, building our lives, etc., are not just done one time.  Great poem here (if I’m correct in labeling it that?) It’s all about the consistency that we need to have in life and the good habits to be consis...

When We Give Power - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Thur. 6-6-24 #1265

June 06, 2024 11:00 - 4 minutes - 3.12 MB

Damon West is doing some teaching… as he did when he and Jon Gordon wrote “The Coffee Bean” book - a great read by the way!  Damon reminds us “Coffee beans only control their “controllables”. Focusing on what you can control versus what you cannot control puts the power back inside of you.”  I needed this reminder (as I do with all the things I share with you) and I hope this connects with you too.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also...

It's Supposed To Be Challenging - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Wed. 6-5-24 - #1264

June 05, 2024 11:00 - 10 minutes - 7.11 MB

I’ve been reading my “Arete” book, by Brian Johnson and it’s full of HUGE lessons for helping me to become the person that I know I can be and I want to be.  This lesson reminds us that life is supposed to be hard.  It’s never going to be easy and without challenges.  The great “human connection” as I like to call it, and it  reminds us that EVERY SINGLE HUMAN that has ever walked this earth, has had struggles, obstacles, challenges, tough times, problems, etc.  The other part for me was to ...

Be A Moment Changer - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Tue. 6-4-24 #1263

June 04, 2024 15:00 - 11 minutes - 8.18 MB

If it’s Tuesday, it must mean that a new Mitch Albom “Tuesday People” podcast came out and I’m not even done listening to it, but it inspired me for today’s show. Listen to “The Moments That Change Everything” and hopefully you will get inspired with what is shared on this episode from Mitch and his good friend & producer of the show, Lisa Goich.  My first thought about these “moments” in life, were the people that helped to change my life.  That is what my message is to you today - be a “mo...

Hard Choices - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Mon. 6-3-24

June 03, 2024 20:00 - 3 minutes - 2.52 MB

Found a great post from a new source - 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐝𝐨𝐦 (@RealmofWisdom_) shared a few thoughts about “hard” choices.  So many things are hard / difficult / challenging, etc.  These thoughts start out with the reminder that Marriage is hard. Divorce is hard.  It comes down to life is hard and it’s up to us to choose which of the “hard” things in life we are going to focus on.  Some of these things, maybe we don’t have a choice of the event happening to us.  But we do get to choose our res...

Crappy Attitude - Motivation Monday Game Plan - #1261

June 03, 2024 18:00 - 4 minutes - 2.83 MB

Alan Stein Jr., throwing out a bigtime tip for all of us - especially me today!!  He shared "You can’t have a good day with a bad attitude!" Look this guy up and follow him - (@AlanSteinJr).   I found myself having a crappy attitude earlier today and I was beginning to let it create a crappy day for me.  Well, at least for now, I'm not letting that happen.  Simple reminder for a simple minded person like me.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with so...

We All Need This Voice - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Fri. 5-31-24 #1260

May 31, 2024 11:00 - 5 minutes - 3.61 MB

A good old post came up about what discipline is and it all has to do with a voice that each of us has.  Someone new that I just started following - Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard)  The key is to listen to that voice - but then it would involve some action behind listening to it too. This is a great mindset to let yourself connect with.  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 serv...

Look Up In The Sky - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Thur. 5-30-24 #1259

May 30, 2024 11:00 - 7 minutes - 5.5 MB

I’ve been going to Physical Therapy lately - all from my recent surgery & it’s been a tough go, but I’m realizing a few things.  First - I’ve come a long way from where I was before the surgery.  I’m older now (of course) and there are things that used to come easy to me, but now I need to focus and work harder at.  I also was able to have a new “view” while on the table at PT getting treatment. They have these couple of skylights in the ceiling where I get worked on. While laying on my back...

New Doors - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Wed. 5-29-24 #1258

May 29, 2024 11:00 - 3 minutes - 2.59 MB

Good stuff here from Todd Whitaker (@ToddWhitaker) where he mentions about opening new doors.  He shares a great reminder for all of us to take with us - “old ways won’t open up new doors.”  It got me thinking about the old adage that if I keep doing things the same way all the time and I expect a different result, that’s really a pathway leading towards losing my mind.  I think it’s something I need to take to heart a bit more and look for ways of learning new information about getting thin...

A Secret Ingredient - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Tues. 5-28-24 #1257

May 28, 2024 11:00 - 3 minutes - 2.21 MB

Saw this post and again, it caught my eye.  Looking at this statement, reminds me that I go out of my way to find things like this.  I think it’s part of what being a lifelong learner is all about.  I found this post from a Steve Collins (@TeachHoopsBBall) and he said: “The Secret Ingredient to a Winning Attitude: 1.) Humility - be teachable at every step 2.) Optimism - Believe in the win, even before the game starts.”  I like this combination - not just for sports but for all of life.  Take...

Good or Bad - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Mon. 5-27-24 #1256

May 27, 2024 11:00 - 3 minutes - 2.45 MB

I saw this post that caught my eye as not only it had a great & simple thought, but the artwork that went with it was awesome!!  It’s from Mindful Maven - (@mindfulmaven_) and it simply says “good or bad, you will get what you give.” The artwork is a picture of someone throwing a boomerang. Easy to understand and much more important to implement into our lives. What we put out there, does indeed come back to us in many different ways.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subs...

It's The Process - Motivation Monday Game Plan - #1255

May 27, 2024 04:00 - 7 minutes - 5.34 MB

I stumbled across Alan Stein Jr.’s newsletter HERE - and he had a post there about something we hear about all the time… The Process.  He reminds us that for what we want in life, it’s all about “… the mindsets, habits, routines, discipline, approach, outlook, and ACTION STEPS that matter most.”  Those are things that we control and have a say in for ourselves. There are two powerful questions that I need to start asking myself, one in the morning and one at night. I’m glad you are listening...

One Step Behind - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Fri. 5-24-24 #1254

May 24, 2024 11:00 - 5 minutes - 3.87 MB

I found this post from a former Lion - Dan Orlovsky (former Detroit Lion QB) - (@danorlovsky7), who shared the simple thought:  “People who copy will always be one step behind.”  HUGE reminder for me of my days as a young student, cutting corners… not doing my own work and I knew at the time it wasn’t the way to go, but I eventually learned the value of doing my own work.  Today - it’s about building our own authentic life. We see “copy cats” all the time and we know that’s not the way to go...

Be Patient - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Thur. 5-23-24 #1253

May 23, 2024 11:00 - 3 minutes - 2.5 MB

I found this great post - awesome & simple reminder from (@selfcarecanvas) - “Be patient. Sometimes you have to go through the worst to get the best.”  This goes hand in hand with me going through my physical therapy right now and I’m working on teaching myself (and getting help from the PT guy too) to get back to basics on being healthy and strong again.  It’s hitting the reset button to get this done and to move onto better things.  Which is a great reminder of everyday life.  Thanks for l...

Every Act of Kindness - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Wed. 5-22-24 #1252

May 22, 2024 11:00 - 4 minutes - 3.31 MB

It’s been awhile since I shared something from Melanie Korach (@melanie_korach) and today I found a great reminder for all of us.  Here is what she said:  “Everyone is fighting a battle, and a little kindness makes these battles easier to fight. For fighting battles alone is never easy, but every act of kindness is a reminder that someone is not alone after all. It could be the one thing that encourages them to hold on and keep going.”  Just about every day I see and hear examples of people ...

Take A Good Look - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Tue. 5-21-24 #1251

May 21, 2024 13:00 - 7 minutes - 4.91 MB

Getting reacquainted with one of the long-time experts in the Personal Development & Self Improvement area - John Maxwell shares some powerful reminders here.  This is from his “Daily Reader” - where I have it on my Kindle App., and this comes from May 20 - “Taking A Look In The Mirror”.  He helps to remind us that “all the significant battles are waged within the self.”  To take this on, we need to look at ourselves (in the mirror helps) to realize we are the ones that actually can do somet...

Define This Key - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Mon. 5-20-24 #1250

May 20, 2024 11:00 - 6 minutes - 4.57 MB

Multiple levels of teaching coming from Alan Stein Jr. here. (@alansteinjr).  First of all he reminds us that we are responsible to define our own success.  Success looks different to different people.  It’s not a one size fits all.  The second one he shared is directly connected to success.  Life is all about looking for our inner peace and connecting the things we hold near and dear to our hearts, those things we really do value.  Don’t forget to start looking at the distractions that keep...

Motivation vs. Discipline - Motivation Monday Game Plan - #1249

May 20, 2024 04:00 - 10 minutes - 7.51 MB

Connecting with one of the masters in the are of personal development - Mr. Ed Mylett (@edmylett).  One of his latest posts got me thinking - some deep and reflective thoughts, hope they do the same for you.  Ed mentions “Discipline is critical because it allows you to… 1) See the BIGGER PICTURE, 2) Develop the right skills and talents, 3) Focus on the PROCESS, not the outcome, 4) Be insanely CONSISTENT, 5) and minimize impacts on your output when you’re not motivated.”  So much of this remi...

Gifts To Give Away - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Fri. 5-17-25 #1248

May 17, 2024 11:00 - 6 minutes - 4.73 MB

I recently found this list of some of the Greatest Gifts you can give away - from Coach AJ (@coachajkings) and he starts it out with this: “14 of the greatest gifts that you can give today.  The smallest acts of kindness can make the biggest differences.  Generosity is the habit of giving freely without expecting anything.”  These 14 sure do get me thinking about things I can do for others, but also for myself. It also reminds me of the fact that I need to keep working on these gifts too.  H...

Heart & Soul Are Key - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Thur. 5-16-24 #1247

May 16, 2024 11:00 - 9 minutes - 6.25 MB

Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11)  comes out with great content every single day.  Someone like him who is devoted to making a difference with people with not only the 28 + books he has written, but also what he’s building with others - he’s one that you want to be connected with.  In this post, Jon puts the question out there - why are we here?  I love this point he brings up in looking to answer that question: “To go through the motions and be average or put your heart and soul into your work and ...

Life Will Reflect - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Wed. 5-15-24 #1246

May 15, 2024 11:00 - 5 minutes - 3.92 MB

Saw a few powerful posts from Alan Stein Jr. (@alansteinjr) and this one is a gret reminder for all of us.  “Your life will reflect what you emphasize daily.”  As we all get older, we need to remind ourselves that what we focus on, that’s where our energy flows.  It’s up to us.  Nobody else to choose what we focus on.  Another reminder for us that our 6 inches between our ears, is the most valuable space there is.  Guard it!!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & s...

The Older I Get - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Tue. 5-14-24 #1245

May 14, 2024 11:00 - 9 minutes - 6.52 MB

A good friend and mentor of mine, Coach Rich Popp came through with another thought to chew on a bit - “The older I get, the simpler life is.  1.  Get along with others.  2.  Give 100% in all you do.  3.  Make well thought out and educated decisions.  Yes, simple. Life is good.  Peace.”  Simple for sure to understand, yet I (maybe you too) still have to put effort into these and it’s not always easy, since other things always seem to get in the way.  I think that is what makes us all human. ...

Powerful Discovery & Reminder - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Mon. 5-13-24 #1244

May 13, 2024 11:00 - 5 minutes - 3.71 MB

Found another great post and it goes with a recent theme, about always looking to get better.  There are tons of great lessons out there for us to learn from, be reminded of, and to implement into our lives.  This one is from a big voice from the past, William James reminds us about the importance of the fact that we get to choose our own attitude.  This is for all of us.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on A...

Good People - Motivation Monday Game Plan - #1243

May 13, 2024 04:00 - 5 minutes - 3.9 MB

I saw a post recently from Coach AJ (@coachajkings) where he shared some thoughts from George Kittle, and he said, "I'm a big believer that you surround yourself with good people which brings the best out of you." Surround yourself with people who: • Want what's best for you. • Believe in you. • Challenge you. • Support you. • Inspire you.  This is something we all can not only learn from, but also we can look to be the same for others too. Imagine having a bunch of people in your life, wher...

Aggressive Patience - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Fri. 5-10-24 #1242

May 10, 2024 11:00 - 11 minutes - 8.02 MB

I recently got the chance to listen to another fabulous & powerful podcast from Ben Newman - The Burn Podcast.  Click HERE for this episode.  He was sharing some golden coaching lessons where for him was having Ed Mylett asking the hard questions to him and wondering am I doing the right things.  Ben said  “...we are never finished. It’s an “own it” mentality every day!  It’s understanding that your success in life is long obedience in the same direction with aggressive patience.”  The impor...

Let These Go - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Thur. 5-9-24 #1241

May 09, 2024 11:00 - 10 minutes - 7.39 MB

Alan Stein Jr. (@AlanSteinJr) comes through again with a list of things for us to just kind of let go of.  He’s right, when you start looking at some of these things he brings up - it does change our “game” and how we play it.  This is a powerful Top 10 style list - find the image over on my Twitter / X feed and on my Facebook page too.  If you start with only one of these, I think you will find some peace and joy a bit more often.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscri...

Shift Our Focus - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Wed. 5-8-24 #1240

May 08, 2024 13:00 - 5 minutes - 3.73 MB

Alan Stein Jr. (@AlanSteinJr) had a couple of things posted that caught my eye. This first one is right on target about being aware of where our focus is going when dealing with people.  He mentions: “When you can shift your focus to what you want FOR people instead of what you want FROM people, it's an absolute game changer.” One of his famous sayings is here too:  “A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.”   It’s powerful to imagine more people focusing on these points and the gr...

T.O.U.G.H. Enough? - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Tues. 5-7-24 #1239

May 07, 2024 14:00 - 7 minutes - 4.89 MB

I found this post from The Winning Difference (@thewinningdiff1) and it really hit home for me.  It’s asking are we T.O.U.G.H. enough with each of the letters standing for something connected to the skills and abilities that we need throughout life (and in sports too).  These got me thinking as I looked in the mirror as I’m standing in my living room recording studio.  Things like this help me to keep striving to get better and improve and I hope the same is for you.  Thanks for listening.  ...

Pile Up Wins - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Mon. 5-6-24 #1238

May 06, 2024 19:00 - 5 minutes - 3.92 MB

Powerful Monday thought coming from Jon Gordon (@jongordon11) and it is under his “#MindsetMonday” marker.  He shares this thought about winning the day!  “Don’t worry about tomorrow.  Just win today and the next day and the day after that. That’s how you win the future. Day by day.”  I shared this on Twitter / X for being a simple formula.  “Pile up WINS.  Even the little ones that nobody sees or knows about - but you will know.”  Taking care of things every day, little things matter too… w...

Fingerprints - Motivation Monday Game Plan - #1237

May 06, 2024 18:00 - 3 minutes - 2.76 MB

Listening to John O’Leary’s Podcast for today and it sure got me thinking about some things.  If you have followed me for any length of time, you know that John’s “Live Inspired Podcast” connects with me in a powerful way.  Listen to this episode titled, “Fingerprints Don’t Fade” - find it HERE.  He reminds us about his story and the “fingerprints” that healthcare workers (namely nurses) leave on their patients as far as the care & love shown to them in their time of need.  He recalls the st...

Extreme Accountability - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Fri. 5-3-24 #1236

May 03, 2024 11:00 - 9 minutes - 6.38 MB

Saw a great post from Damon West (@damonwest7) - remember, he’s the co-author of “The Coffee Bean” with Jon Gordon (@jongordon11).  This powerful reminder comes with a video too… check it out HERE.  Some reminders for all of us that we all can take “extreme ownership” in our lives that can help us to own our mistakes and to get us thinking better.  Awesome lesson to not only remind ourselves about, but to also share with others.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe ...

Have A Decided Heart - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Thur. 5-2-24 #1235

May 02, 2024 13:00 - 8 minutes - 6.11 MB

Leaning on “The Traveler’s Gift” by Andy Andrews again.  I know that I lean on things like this a lot when recording these episodes, but to me when I read one of the lessons - I’m in a different spot in life and the message I get hits me differently.  That different reason is something that I usually need to think differently about and maybe you do too.  Having a decided heart is something I need to work on every day, not just Thursdays.  Creating a new habit of facing problems or issues and...

A Great Conversation - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Wed. 5-1-24 #1234

May 01, 2024 14:00 - 10 minutes - 7.53 MB

I had a great conversation yesterday with a very good friend Jodie, and we got talking about some reflective thoughts that we both have been dealing with. The posts that I saw online today fell hand-in-hand with it. And it inspired me to share these with you to hopefully find a way where we can give ourselves a little more grace and compassion, with doing the things we need to do in life. Hope you enjoy it. Make sure you check out the show notes below, so you can connect with the posts I was...

The Value of Wisdom - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Tues. 4-30-24 #1233

April 30, 2024 13:00 - 11 minutes - 8.15 MB

Very cool morning today (not just temperature wise), where I found 3 connections to a message I wanted to share with you. First came a post that I saw on Twitter / X, where Bri Lewerke  (@brilewerke) shared a clip about how “The way Erica Wheeler is looking out for Caitlin Clark is everything.” It’s about an older, more experienced player helping a younger player and where both of them put ego aside to be their best for each other and their team.  I then listened to Mitch Albom’s “Tuesday Pe...

Focus On The Trail - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Mon. 4-29-24 #1232

April 29, 2024 11:00 - 5 minutes - 3.62 MB

Picking the brain of Jon Gordon again (@JonGordon11) and he shares a story about going hiking and some of the things his guide shared with him about how important it is to focus on each step.  Only how Jon can do, taking that message and being able to apply the lessons to everyday life.  Here is just a sliver of what he posted:  “What a great lesson for all of us! When you are on the trail, only focus on the trail. When you are with your family, focus on them, not work.  When you are at work...

April 29, 2024 04:00 - 9 minutes - 6.33 MB

From the book “The Traveler’s Gift” by Andy Andrews - from the 3rd Decision for Success - “I am a person of action”, comes this important reminder about Leadership.  “As a leader, I have the ability to encourage and inspire others to greatness.”  I have some notes written all over this book and the note near this underlined sentence that I wrote is “it’s really a duty to do this. I must also encourage myself.”  Another note that I wrote is that “there is a HUGE need in the world for leaders ...

Past Mistakes - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Fri. 4-26-24 #1230

Learning from others is key in life and for me, it’s added joy that I always learn from many of my former students.  A recent post from one of them caught my eye, mainly because I probably needed to apply it to my own life.  She posted a very true statement:  “Your past mistakes are meant to guide you, not define you. Love yourself a little extra today.”  I needed that lesson again and it came at a great time too.  Also once again, the teacher became the student.   Thanks for listening.  Ple...

Define Your Own Success - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Thur. 4-25-24 #1229

I caught a couple of posts from Alan Stein, Jr. (@AlanSteinJr) that got me reflecting on a couple of things.  The two posts were:  “Define your own success” and “A key to inner peace is figuring out what you truly value and disregarding everything else.”  Both of these are connected since we have the control over our own success (and what that definition is) along with what we really value in life.  So much of the world wants to define these for us and then make us feel horrible when we don’...

Got To Make This Choice - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Wed. 4-24-24 #1228

Reading my daily dose of John Maxwell and from a couple of days ago this message was one that I had to share with you.  It’s all about the reminder that growth is a choice for all of us.  The big thing is that change happens all the time, every day, whether we like it or not and whether we want it to or not.  Everyone has to deal with it.  Now growth, there is something that we all have a choice about.  It’s totally optional.  It’s totally up to us to choose to look to grow and get better.  ...

You Are A Coach - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Tue. 4-23-24 #1227

I did a little bit deeper reflecting on what "The Daily Coach" is all about and this caught more of my attention to share with you.  “The most important person you’ll ever coach is yourself.  The goal of #TheDailyCoach is to provide a daily hands-on approach to becoming a better leader.   Whether you’re an executive, teacher, or parent... EVERYONE is a coach.”  This is total truth.  We do indeed “coach” ourselves for sure.  The more we can connect to things in our life that mean something to...
