“If you are resisting something, you are feeding it. Any energy you fight, you are feeding. If you are pushing something away, you are inviting it to stay.” — Michael Singer

Respect the Accomplishments, Don’t Envy the Person: The title, and the quote from the article below, say it all.

Coaching Coaches: David Shaw. Former Stanford football head coach David Shaw is/was up for multiple NFL head coaching jobs right now. I spoke with him 3 years ago about his approach to deciding whether or not he’d accept a job, and why an NFL GM told him he wanted to hire him in the past. [March 2021 - 28 minutes] Apple | Spotify
The Daily Dad Podcast. This short, daily podcast by Ryan Holiday used to be my must-listen everyday when I was a foster parent. And looking back, I’m so happy I listened to it - it really helped me appreciate every little moment and not get (as) caught up in the tough times. Whether or not you’re a parent or a Dad, it applies to coaching & life. Apple | Spotify

Warren Buffett on a Successful Life
“Basically, when you get to my age, you’ll really measure your success in life by how many of the people you want to have love you actually do love you. I know people who have a lot of money, and they get testimonial dinners and they get hospital wings named after them. But the truth is that nobody in the world loves them. If you get to my age in life and nobody thinks well of you, I don’t care how big your bank account is, your life is a disaster.”
