I look back at so many 2nd Chances that I've been blessed to be given and I know you will find plenty in your life too that you have been given. Great discussion for grounding us and helping us to make sure we give others the 2nd Chances they deserve too. Thanks for listening.

Sharing another passage from "How To Be A Coffee Bean", #49 to be exact and it's all about being kind. The world needs this more and more and we need it too - especially remembering we need to be kind to ourselves too.
Reading an entry from "How To Be A Coffee Bean", point #37 about using your gifts for a bigger purpose. It's not just about us keeping our gifts to ourselves, for our use only. The world needs people to share their gifts to help others. Jon Gordon & Damon West are great examples of doing just that - with their books. :-)
"How To Be A Coffee Bean" is the new book from Jon Gordon and Damon West. They were the co-authors of "The Coffee Bean". Powerful messages in both books and I wanted to share one with you from their new book that just came out on February 1 and I ordered in a pre-order. Stuff like this book is part of what I'm trying to feed my brain. So many things that we choose to let affect us - I need to keep working on my mental diet. I think we all do. Thanks for listening.

Amazing topic that got me connected to three different items - all of them fantastic examples for us to learn from. We all have our own prison(s) that keep us "locked up" and stops us from doing things we want to do in our lives. It got going for me by listening to Ben Newman interview Damon West - please check out "The Burn Podcast" HERE.
What a powerful story that we all can learn from. The second piece came from Dan Miller's podcast - Find that one HERE. From his podcast Dan shares with us the link for Earl Nightingale's "The Strangest Secret". Find it HERE.
I think these 3 resources are so HUGE, so important for all of us to connect with. I'd be so interested to get your feedback about this episode for sure. Thanks for listening.

This is a replay of a previous meeting, meeting 21, with Damon W. Sentenced to sixty-five years in a Texas prison, Damon once had it all. At 20 years old, he was a Division 1 starting quarterback, after a career-ending injury, Damon was by all outside appearances, very successful. It all came crashing down when he turned to hard core drugs to cope with disappointments of life. After a fateful discussion during his incarceration with a seasoned convict, Damon had a spiritual awakening. He learned a lesson about a single coffee bean that changed his whole perspective. Armed with a program of recovery, a renewed faith, and a miraculous second chance at life, Damon emerged from over seven years of prison a changed man. His story of redemption, grit and determination continues to inspire many today, and I know it will inspire you.

QUOTES:
“The key is using stress and being able to adapt to it and improve. That’s what high performance is to me, the ability to adapt rapidly so you can achieve your potential. There are five key pillars to creating the conditions for adaptability: sleep, exercise, mental resilience, nutrition, and community/relationships.” Dr Erik Korem
“I maybe have a different concept on leadership. To me, leading is a verb. If you’re leading, you’re a leader. If you’re swimming you’re a swimmer, if you’re driving you’re a driver. If you’re leading you’re by definition a leader. I define leading as being looked to in a particular moment to make a decision or perform an action based on your unique gifts and abilities. So by that definition, everybody is a leader. All rank and role really describe is how many people are hoping you get it right when it’s your turn to wear the weight.” - Clint Bruce
John Danaher on high performance mindset and resilience:
“Whenever you are sparring, your mind will have a given direction of focus. The most basic division is between self focus and focus on the opponent.” - John Danaher on high performance mindset and resilience
Blue Print host Dr. Erik Korem on high performance mindset and resilience:
“In sport, our goal is to develop the most adaptable athletes with the most resilience who can consistently obtain their high performance mindset and potential.” - Dr. Erik Korem on high performance mindset and resilience, host of The Blue Print
John Danaher on high performance mindset and resilience:
“Philosophy was crucial because it is among the best means of developing a problem solving mindset.” - John Danaher on high performance mindset and resilience
Blue Print host Dr. Erik Korem on high performance, performance mindset, and resilience:
“The key is using that stress and being able to adapt to it to improve. That's what high performance to me is: the ability to adapt rapidly so you can achieve your potential.”
- Dr. Erik Korem on high performance, performance mindset, and resilience, host of The Blue Print
John Danaher on high performance mindset and resilience:
“The greatest determinant of the outcome of your matches over time by a landslide is your training and lifestyle mentality. This is the high performance mindset you carry every day as you train and progress.” - John Danaher on high performance mindset and resilience
