About this episode
“Send Coach John a message”I found first thing this morning a post shared from a favorite person of mine, Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) who is again, someone I connected with online and not in person… yet.. Who knows, maybe someday I will get a chance to meet face to face. Mark shared some thoughts before his post - “We have no idea what anyone is really dealing with. We have no idea of the battles they have faced & are still facing. Everyone is going through something so why not be kind. Why not offer compassion & gentleness knowing that we have no idea what someone is really going through.” This hit me hard as this morning, only after seeing some things online for 10 minutes or so, I got really sad and down as to what people continually do and say to others that simply don’t do any good at all for anyone. I’m thinking about what Gary Vaynerchuk (@garyvee) says all the time. The people spewing out all of the hate, negativity, anger, blaming others, etc., are all simply showing the pain and anger they are trying to deal with in their lives. It’s really a look into who they are, what they are thinking (or hiding) and they know no different as to how to deal with others. My thoughts on Mark’s post was this: “Everyone … every single human being goes through tough times, battles, pain, fear, doubt, tears, etc. - To me it’s the Great Human Connector to all of us! Throughout history this is something we’ve all had to deal with. For those always piling on, putting others down (1 of 2) - Making fun of others, intentionally causing trouble for others, causing others pain, etc.; Please figure out we are WAY more alike than we are different. View things from their perspective. All of us have been through the tough odds of even being born! It’s not that difficult!” I’m continually getting down, sad, upset, even angry at all of this crud going on in our world. I refuse to jump in and start bashing the “bashers” or spending tons of time looking up evidence to prove them wrong. I have chosen my voice and actions to make a difference with others and to try and offer hope to anyone willing to try and do the same. Life should be better than what we are creating it to be. We can (and must) do better and be better for ourselves, our loved ones and for the good of others. Thanks for listening.
