Be Willing To Give Yourself Permission - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Mon. 10-26-26 - #2018
“Send Coach John a message”
This powerful post found its way to me from The Winning Difference (@thewinningdiff1) where they shared this thought before the quote: “Be willing to be bad at something you want to be great at. Give yourself permission to struggle. Then give yourself a reason to improve. Success takes more attempts than most people are willing to make. Be willing.” I love this reminder that we need to give ourselves permission.. To struggle… to keep going… to work hard… to have passion, etc. Love the ending of this thought too “be willing!” WOW!! I needed this. ...
I Need To Work On That - Motivation Monday Game Plan - #2017
“Send Coach John a message”
I found an incredible post from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) that reminded me about something important for me to work on. It said: “Always remember to be someone who says “I need to work on that’ in a world full of “that’s just the way I am.”” Amazing reminder for me that helps me to step back and own the things that I can change and get better at. I don’t want to stay the same in anything as I want to keep growing and getting better at living my best life. Remember t...
Understanding Comes From This - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Fri. 10--23-26 - #2016
“Send Coach John a message”
I found something that is so spot on, so important to connect with and it comes from Clint Hurdle (@ClintHurdle13) where he shares this life lesson for all of us: “Understanding comes from taking the time to listen, not waiting for your turn to talk.” Taking the time to really connect with others to understand them - it’s missing in almost all aspects of life. I know it’s missing in my life because there are plenty of times where I’m not listening too well. I could blame it on getting older a...

“Send Coach John a message”
Once again, Coach Ray Ostrowski (@CoachRayO3313) comes through with a gem for all of us. His intro to his Quote of the Day is this: “If your dream is to become something special, the road can be humbling from time to time. Stay the course, remain persistent and face the storm - No time for PTP’s” The quote he shared with his students and players - I feel awesome to see the same thoughts and lessons he’s sharing with them… is this: “Sacrifice & Discipline” - “The greatest things in life take sacrifice and...

“Send Coach John a message”
I found a new connection to thought-provoking things. It comes from Jeff Moore (@JeffMoore__) and on FB: (JeffMooreEP) who shared this golden gem: “Your inner voice becomes the atmosphere you live in every day. Make it honest, encouraging, and worthy of someone you care about. Keep going.” What a powerful thought that I have not seen put into these terms. His post that went along with his thoughts were “Talking to yourself like you respect yourself is a game changer. Keep Going.” Love this!! I do have an atmosphere that I...
Make Difficult Decisions Easier Before They Arrive - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Tues. 10-20-26 - #2013
“Send Coach John a message”
Another powerful item to take some time to get connected to - this one comes from the great Zig Ziglar (@TheZigZiglar) and he shares this reflection: “Good habits reduce the number of times you have to rely on motivation or willpower. When discipline, preparation, integrity, and responsibility become part of your daily life, making the right choice begins to feel more natural. The decisions you practice today prepare you for the challenges you will face tomorrow. Build habits that support the person you want to become.” WOW… just reading this again helps me to...
A Mystery Of Our Existence - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Mon. 10-19-26 - #2012
“Send Coach John a message”
I am continuing the international connection with good things to share to help all of us out a bit in our lives and this one comes from Gregg Vanourek (@gvanourek) where this deep quote was shared: “The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.” -Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov. Now I know I must apologize for my brutal attempt to say these names correctly, but I do appreciate the fact that I found this post along with attempting to say the names righ...
"Kaizen" = Improve Continuously - Motivation Monday Game Plan - #2011
“Send Coach John a message”
I found an international connection to something great to connect with and it came from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) which shared this: “Kaizen: A Japanese concept of improving continuously. Kaizen is a Japanese concept of continuous improvement through small, consistent steps. It emphasizes patience, discipline, and steady progress over sudden change. Rather than seeking perfection overnight, Kaizen is about getting a little better each day.” WOW - what a great game plan of life! It got me thinking about also slowing down the “baby steps” of messing up and going backwards. Catching it sooner...
3 Things That Bring Peace - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Fri. 10-16-26 - #2010
“Send Coach John a message”
I found an amazing post from Kylie Riordan (@mindfulheal) where she shared this: “Three things will always bring peace: Gratitude for what you have, acceptance of what you cannot change, and hope for what’s yet to come.” Amazing and powerful reminders for all of us. These really got me thinking about many things that are going on in my life now and for me to keep striving to find more peace. This really does help and I hope it helps you too. Thanks for listening. Please take a few moments to subscribe & s...
The Starting Point - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Thurs. 10-15-26 - #2009
“Send Coach John a message”
I found an incredibly powerful post from Jim Rohn Official (@OfficialJimRohn) “Jim Rohn: nobody is coming to develop you. That’s your job. Owning your growth is the first act of personal responsibility.” There was an article link about this - found HERE. This was the beginning of that article: The Starting Point of All Achievement - Somebody asked me once — this was at a seminar in Phoenix — they said, "Jim, what's the first step to becoming successful?" I said, "Take ownership." They said, "Ownership of what?" I said, "Everything...
Live Like A River - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Wed. 10-14-26 - #2008
“Send Coach John a message”
I came across an incredible post from Book Therapy (@Book_therapy223) that reminded all of us to “Live Like a River.” It’s a long post that has many things for each of us to focus on. With that, I put it into the show notes as I also read it on this episode recording. This is a powerful reminder for all of us to not only keep going in the face of challenging times and events, but also to keep smiling. Stay positive. Keep moving forward. Keep looking to have the mindset of...
Our Environment - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Tues. 10-13-26 - #2007
“Send Coach John a message”
I found a very interesting post from Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) that got my attention for all the crazy things going on around us. This post made a lot of sense: “An environment that is not safe to disagree is not an environment focused on growth - it's an environment focused on control.” It is a very powerful reminder that we (me for sure) need to do a much better job of talking more even if we disagree on things. It comes down to the fact that we have way more ways that we...
Be Good - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Mon. 10-12-26 - #2006
“Send Coach John a message”
This gem came from Real Marsha Wright (@marshawright) where this reminder was shared: “Never stop being a good person because of bad people.” Wow! What a simple, yet difficult thing to do. Letting others influence us - especially in negative ways - is something we don’t have to let happen. It’s having the mindset that no matter what people do, what they say, how they act, etc., they will not change who we are. Once again, in today’s world, we certainly need good people to stop being influenced by bad people. Tha...
Comparison Steals Joy - Motivation Monday Game Plan - #2025
“Send Coach John a message”
I have been long overdue to share something from Gary Vaynerchuk (@garyvee) and this is a gem for all of us to take to heart: “Comparison is destroying your joy 🥹Please understand the most important truth in the world 🌎… the world 🌎 is filled with love and riches … no one’s success is taking yours away and no one’s success should make you feel like you’re behind and most of all …. How do you define success ? Because it better not be money and numbers and bulls#@^ metrics ….” He is so right on with this take on life...
Some Good Choices Here - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Fri. 10-9-26 - #2004
“Send Coach John a message”
My man Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) had this great reflection on his post that he shared for today. “A message for today … Choose to live in joy. Life is too short for anger, worry, or negativity. Focus on the good, embrace each day & make the most of every moment. Spend less time worrying & more time being grateful for the people who love you & life’s many blessings.” Now I know many of these thoughts are “cliche”, but they still carry merrit with great lessons for all of us. Listen to the post a few times over if...
Life Is Messy - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Thur. 10-8-26 - #2003
“Send Coach John a message”
I found a great post idea from a wordfind puzzle game on my phone. Here’s the quote and it comes from Jonathan Lockwood Hule: “Sometimes we need the fog to remind us that all of life is not black and white.” It’s a great reminder for all of us to realize that life and things in life are not 1 or 2, right or wrong, black or white, good or bad, etc. This one connected to a lot of what’s going on in my life lately. Some good thoughts here, I hope. Thanks fo...
Where The Real Fortune Is - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Wed. 10-7-26 - #2002
“Send Coach John a message”
One of the masters of life lessons shared another gem for us to take to heart. Jim Rohn Official (@OfficialJimRohn) shared his thoughts in his post: “The fortune is in the extra effort nobody asked for.” His thought was on the post: “You have to do more than you get paid for because that’s where the fortune is.” Not too many people understand this timeless truth. If we work harder on ourselves than we do at work - we will help ourselves to start creating a life that will be of such value, that...
Actions Do Indeed Talk - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Tues. 10-6-26 - #2001
“Send Coach John a message”
I found a gem of a post from Coach Ray Ostrowski (@CoachRayO3313) - Remember, Ray is a former student of mine who is a bigtime difference-maker as a high school teacher & football coach. He shares his quote of the day with everyone and it’s the same he puts on the board for his students and players. His thoughts about this one: “Let your actions do the yappin’. You find so many today that want to post about it. Make sure if you’re ’about it’ you back it with action & not just noise”. So...
It Goes Fast, Really Fast - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Mon. 10-5-26 - #2000
“Send Coach John a message”
I found a really good life reminder for every human and I think it’s totally true too. It comes from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) and the quote is this: “The only thing an old man can tell a young man is that it goes fast, real fast, and if you’re not careful it’s too late. Of course, the young man will never understand this truth.” — Norm Macdonald. Now of course this covers all of us… both men and women! I do indeed remember older people that I looked up to, telling me the...
You Are The Greatest Project You'll Ever Work On - Motivation Monday Game Plan - #1999
“Send Coach John a message”
I came across a powerful post from Gary Hensel (@gary_hensel) which shared this: “You are the greatest project you’ll ever work on. Restart. Reset. Refocus. As many times as you need.” I love the mindset that we are the greatest project that we will ever work on! What a powerful reminder as to how special we are in our own life! Keep going. Don’t stop getting better. Never stop being a life-long learner!! Those three “R’s”: Restart. Reset. Refocus. Easy to remember these three R’s and to make them part of our day. Thi...
I'm For Me and You're For You - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Fri. 10-2-26 - #1998
“Send Coach John a message”
I always enjoy finding things being shared from Duke Women’s Basketball (@DukeWBB) head coach, Kara Lawson. This one is titled “I’m for me” and it is shared out there from: (@thepivot) She’s right - this may sound like it’s coming from a place of arrogance, when it’s really coming from a place of self-confidence. This is something that I found a strong connection to because as of late, I’m working hard to not worry about others’ opinions of me. I need to get a better (and stronger) opinion of m...
What We Give - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Thurs. 10-1-26 - #1997
“Send Coach John a message”
This is continuing on a journey of things I know I need to work on to keep trying to be my best. This comes from a true All-Star, Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) I love his thoughts on this post: “What we give is always a REFLECTION of who we are. l've learned that even when I don't receive the same reciprocity, kindness, or love, I refuse to become cold or because someone didn't know how to appreciate me. Their actions reveal their character. Mine reveal mine. Stay kind!” What can you do with the au...
Adversity Reveals So Much - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Wed. 9-30-26 - #1996
“Send Coach John a message”
I always find posts from Inky Johnson (@inkyjohnson) to be powerful reminders for anyone willing to pay attention and listen along with really connecting to his words. I find myself getting emotional at this one, since I know I have plenty of adversity in my life - but also realizing that there are so many people with far worse things going on than what I am facing. I also am seeing the fact that I need to be better and do better with what he’s sharing here in this short clip. I...
Checking In - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Tues. 9-29-26 - #1995
“Send Coach John a message”
No post to share today, just a phone call that inspired me & encouraged me from good ‘ol Coach Dave. In our conversation this morning, I think we both got inspired and encouraged with some new perspectives. It changed my entire day talking with him along with helping me to see that I need to check in with others in my circle to do for them what Dave did for me. We all need it for sure. Before I recorded this episode in my mobile studio, I was driving without the radio on and no...

“Send Coach John a message”
Another incredibly simple, yet powerful post came my way from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) which said this: “Work hard. Dress well. Eat well. Talk less. Stay humble. Avoid drama. Chase goals.” This list is something for each of us to go over with the person in the mirror and see how you connect with each and every part of this “To-Do” list. I know I need to make it part of my every day list of things I need to connect with for sure. Thanks for listening. Please take a few moments to subscribe & share th...
How We Respond - Motivation Monday Game Plan - #1993
“Send Coach John a message”
I found a fabulous thought from a difference maker that I’ve connected with many times before. Damon West (@damonwest7) mentions this: “Your beliefs are heard in your words, but they’re proven in the way you live. #BeACoffeeBean” The post he connected to was this: “Don’t just talk about what you believe; live it. Let your faith show up in how you treat people, how you respond when life gets hard. Your beliefs are heard in your words, but they’re proven in the way you live.” This is such a powerful reminder fo...

“Send Coach John a message”
John O’Leary comes up with an amazing post (like he always does), again, get connected to John HERE and check out the amazing things he is doing to make a difference with others. His thoughts on his post were these: “My friends, peace is not found in knowing exactly how the story ends. It’s found in refusing to let the uncertainty of tomorrow steal the possibility of today.” This was all connected to this quote from Trent Shelton: “Peace is something you’ll never experie...

Saw a gem of a post this morning from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) which was a quote from David Goggins that he shared. The quote was this: “The only way to achieve greatness in life is to have patience, consistency, and discipline.” WOW. I shared this when I reposted it: “Coach John Daly (@coachtosuccess) Good stuff for each of us to make our own…” It is up to us to take these types of truths & great advice and make them our own in our own lives!! Each of these 3 principles can be applied to relatio...
Cracks In Our Lives - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Wed. 9-23-26 - #1990
“Send Coach John a message”
A profound post came to me today and of course it’s from a bigtime difference maker that I lean on just about every day. It’s from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) and he’s “Reflecting this morning on that thing about ‘cracks’” … “Maybe the cracks in your life aren’t where you’re breaking, maybe they’re where the light gets in and maybe those cracks don’t need fixing. What if they’re opening you up to what comes next? Sometimes the cracks are where life rebuilds us so something new can shine through.” ~ @JulieChi...
Be This Kind of Person - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Tues. 9-22-26 - #1989
“Send Coach John a message”
I found so many posts today and here is the winner that I wanted to share with you. It comes from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) and this is once again something that the world needs more of. The post was this: “Be the kind of person who makes cashiers smile, makes waiters laugh, and who makes lonely people feel seen. In a world so obsessed with being important, being kind, present, and wonderfully human is its own kind of extraordinary.” As I shared in this episode, I ran into a former stude...
Life Moments - Daily Thought With Coach Daly -Mon. 9-21-26 - #1988
“Send Coach John a message”
I found a simple gem for today’s message and it comes from Inspiration & More (@LifeWithJohn) and here it is: “Life is full of unexpected turns. Some will break you, Some will bless you, but each one will shape you.” So much happens to us in life and each and every moment can make an impact on us. It’s up to us to choose how these things affect us and how it changes us too. We always have a say as to how we respond to things for sure. I need to look at...
Positivity Helps - Motivation Monday Game Plan - #1987
“Send Coach John a message”
Great connection from Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) for any day, but especially on a Motivation Monday Game Plan day!! “#MindsetMonday Positivity doesn’t ignore reality. It gives you the strength to face it.” Again, so many people think that having a positive outlook or attitude is bad. Some say it’s not a good way to face reality. All I know is that having a positive attitude towards life and everything it can throw at us, is SO MUCH better than having a negative attitude. A positive attitude doesn’t mean we will never face obst...

“Send Coach John a message”
Another great post came across my “news wire” this morning and it came from Drew Maddux (@DrewMaddux) “WAKE UP! If your vision for your life doesn't include impacting the lives of others then you should create a bigger, bolder vision.” Amazingly true and powerful to let this come into our hearts.” ~ Jon Gordon (@jongordon11) There is another piece to this that said: “Purpose is an incredible alarm clock!” LOVE THIS! This doesn’t need an age either to connect with it. The sooner the better is probably a good thing to connect with this, but wow...
You Don't Have To Fix It All At Once - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Wed. 9-16-26 - #1984

I found a great post that directly connected to my last couple of days. I hope you can connect with this too. It comes from Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) and it’s this amazing reminder: “You don't have to fix everything today. Just focus on what's in front of you right now.” This got me grounded a bit as to deal with the things going on right where my feet are. Helping my parents out for a few days really helped me focus on things in life right now. Once again, I need to take t...
The Calmer We Are - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Tues. 9-15-26 - #1983
“Send Coach John a message”
Another key thought from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi): “The calmer you are, the clearer you think. Let your decisions come from a place of peace, not from reaction.” This is fitting in with me and my recent awakening to focus on more things that I can control. Too many distractions have been rearing their ugly heads lately and I need to do a better job at filtering them out along with the emotions that put me off balance. Great reminders like this are out there and we need to keep connecting with them to...

“Send Coach John a message”
I found a great connection from Roy T. Bennett (@InspiringThinkn) where this gem was shared: “Value yourself enough to let go of what no longer enriches your life or brings you peace.” ~Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart. Amazing connections here for me and hopefully you too. Our world today has so many things that really do not enrich our lives and certainly don’t bring us peace. The key is to filter through all the items that get in the way and filter those out and replace them with things th...
The "80 - 8 Rule" - Motivation Monday Game Plan - #1981
“Send Coach John a message”
Found an amazing post from Greg Berge (@GregBerge): “The 80-8 Rule is one of my favorites. Only two people you really need to impress: • The 8-year-old version of you and • The 80-year-old version of you. Keep the joy. Live with no regrets.” This made so much sense to me. The 8 year old me is in the past and it’s really a general spot in most people’s life where we have good memories from. I look back to my 8 year old self a lot and I am still working hard to make that little gu...
Be The People We Were on Sept. 12 - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Fri. 9-11-26 - #1980
“Send Coach John a message”
A very solemn date in history today. I saw this post that I shared: “The Best Way to Honor Those Lost on 9/11 is To Be the People We Were on 9/12.” I remember that day of 9/11 and indeed the day after too! This is so right on target. Sept. 12 was a day of patience, empathy, kindness, less hostility, realizing we were way more alike than different, etc. There is an amazing and powerful reminder that we need to connect with this again… and not just one day a year when we remember the entire world...
Remember These - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Thurs. 9-10-26 - #1979
“Send Coach John a message”
I found a post from Coach the Coaches (@WinningCoaches) that gave us a few items that would be good for us to remember. “Rember that… Hard Work is a Choice, Attitude is a Choice, Discipline is a Choice, Doing Extra is a Choice, and Excellence is a Choice.” ~ Allistair McCaw. When I saw this post, I was connected to it right away in that I’ve been having more and more moments where I’m connecting more and more to my mental awareness with things I need to do.
