Be a True Fan

Why do sports fans go so crazy for their teams? Football stadiums can be unbelievably loud with fans supporting the home team. Fans come to the stadium with a passion that they cannot replicate in other areas of their life. Even non-football fans can get caught in the environment of the crowd and start clapping and cheering as loud as they can. Have you ever been in that type of environment? Where everyone around you is screaming at the top of their lungs in support of a sports team? It’s contagious.

Let me tell you a little bit about true fans. Everyone loves to win. Winning feeds the excitement inside you. The more your team wins, the more that excitement stirs and grows into a passion. True fans feel that passion pull them towards watching their team, cheering for them, arguing with friends in defense of their team, and in general support of their team. Some fans can get a little carried away. They can wear the same shirt that hasn’t been washed in weeks or even start fights with fans of other teams. It can be a sickness, but it is a passion nevertheless.

Unfortunately for some, a passion for their sports teams is the only passion they have. So how can there be so much passion for something so unpersonal to people? Sports teams don’t recognize regular fans for their support. Athletes don’t call a fan out by name. True fans don’t care, in fact general acknowledgment of “the fans” from an athlete only fuels their passion further. It’s so simple, yet so mind boggling how there isn’t more passion in other areas of life. Why? How can we replicate our passion for sports teams into passion for what we do everyday? That kind of passion you see in the stadiums where the entire bleachers are shaking, where the sound can be deafening, where strangers embrace in celebration?

Well, in order to find the answer, you need to ask the right question. That is why life coaching has become so successful. Coaches are trained to ask questions. They are also trained to listen, really listen. Good coaches not only listen very well to what is being said, they also listen to what is not being said. Through a series of listening and questioning, they find the right questions to ask. Questions that are often overlooked by the ones searching for those right answers.

A few questions you may ask yourself in your search for passion:

Who are you? How can you live your life in a way that keeps you true to who you really are? What would happen if you lived each day with passion?

Ask better questions. Find something you can be passionate about on a regular basis. Be true to yourself; be a true fan of yourself.

Enjoy Life.

A Remembered Friend

Today I was thinking of a very old friend of mine. We are no longer friends, but I will always remember that friendship.

I was in the fourth grade when I met someone that would dramatically shape who I was. Stephen and Anthony were my best friends in fourth and fifth grade. My family had recently moved for the second time in two years. First we moved from where I grew up in New Hampshire to a town in Massachusetts for a short year, and then again to a town in Connecticut. I was a quiet kid and did not look forward to making new friends. I had to do it twice in two years. Stephen and Anthony became my friends when I moved to Connecticut. And for the next two years, we were side by side every day. Well, almost.

Stephen could be difficult. If Anthony or I didn’t do things the “right” way, Stephen would be all over us. We got in many fights over the slightest of things. I knew the anger and stubbornness in Stephen so I wouldn’t take his side when he decided to get angry with Anthony. Anthony on the other hand, always sided with Stephen. It didn’t bother me much though. Stephen taught me to stick up for myself and what I believed in, no matter the cost. He would say that a person is nobody if he didn’t stand by what he believed in. Unfortunately, we didn’t always believe in the same things and would end up in week long fights. He also always taught me to not allow anyone to make fun of my friends or my family. I remember one particular day when he called me Suozzo Salami. It didn’t bother me, but I thought to myself, “this could be considered a shot at my family name”, so I asked him very nicely not to call me that. He refused, so another week long fight ensued. We sure did fight over silly stuff, but at least we had principles!

We always made it through those fights and became friends again. Until two years later when I moved away again, back to New Hampshire. We tried to stay in touch, but it’s hard when you’re 10 or 11 years old and two states away. We had one final fight where we never made amends. It’s was over a hat that I bought for his birthday. Actually, I didn’t buy it and that was problem. Stephen was offended that I had my mother buy him the Miami Dolphins hat he wanted. I felt badly and told him so. However, Stephen was not one to forgive with a simple sorry. It had to be more than that.

I talked to Stephen several weeks after that when he told me that his family was moving to the Massachusetts-Vermont border. It was the last conversation we ever had. It’s funny how well we remember certain things. I remember a lot from my best friend at the time. Even with all of our fights, I am thankful we became friends. We learned a lot from each other.

We all grow and change through the years. I have been married now for almost ten years and I am not the same person I was when I got married. Neither is my wife. The good news is that we have grown together. Stephen and I grew apart, but he will always be a part of who I am. “All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.” (Helen Keller)

Thanks Stephen.

Enjoy Life.

How much is too much?

During the day I work full time as an engineer. At night and on weekends I am a professional life coach for people looking to figure out what ignites their inner passion. In the spring, I coach my son’s Little League baseball team. This past year I volunteered to be part of my town’s Little League board. So when I recently signed up to volunteer as a broadcaster for my town’s local television station, someone close to me said that I was taking on too much. It got me thinking, how much is too much?

I love sports. I love that my son has a passion around baseball. I dream that he has enough ability to match his passion and take him far. I also temper those dreams with the consideration that he may one day decide he doesn’t love baseball as much as I think he does. And I know enough to enjoy what I have right now, today, which is a seven year old who loves to play. I also love to coach him. And volunteering to be part of the Little League organization in my town will allow me to keep coaching him for the next five years. In this town, you’re likely not to be a coach for long, if you are not part of the board.

Now, my favorite sport has always been football. I played in high school and even did a little bit in college. Every Sunday, since I was a kid I would watch the Sunday game with my father and two older brothers, and I am now finding my son is starting to want to watch too. I have enough experience and knowledge to broadcast a high school football game, which I did a couple of weeks ago. It was a lot of fun. I now have the desire to improve on that performance. I want to do it again.

So far I have given up one night a month for the Little League board meetings and one Friday night to broadcast football under the lights. This is in addition to my engineering job and the extra time my coaching business takes me away. It is time spent away from my wife. Time, the most precious gift we have in our life. But time is worth what you use it for. Useless hours are spent by millions of people every week in front of a television or computer. Time is made much more valuable when you spend it enjoying what is most important to you. My wife and family are the most important to me. So I make that time valuable.

So do I do “too much”? I don’t think so. I spend a lot of my time supporting my family through engineering; I spend a lot of my time supporting my passion through coaching; I spend a little time on the Little League activities and broadcasting that I enjoy; and the rest of the time I spend with my family. I can acknowledge that I give up time that I can enjoy with my wife in order to enjoy something else. In order to make up for “lost time” with her, I make the time that we do have more enjoyable. We had a lunch date the other day. We spent time one night putting the new hardware that she bought on our kitchen cabinets. We cuddle more. She will pour a glass of wine while I sip hot chocolate and we’ll just talk, without distractions. It is because I realize I have less time with her, that I try a to make the time we do have more valuable. I don’t think I am doing too much. I think I am doing just the right amount, leaving myself enough energy to capitalize on the time I have - doing things I love most and doing things with the people I love most.

Time is as valuable as you make it. Spend it wisely.

Enjoy Life.

In Loving Memory

He was a husband, a father, a brother, an uncle, and a friend. When his widow told her brother that her husband was like a brother to him, he could barely get out the words, “he was so much more than that.”

What makes a person great is not what they have collected throughout their life, nor necessarily what they accomplished, but it is how great they made others feel. He was respected by all, and loved by many. My uncle was a great a person and he will always be remembered as such by those whose lives he touched.

Be great.

Enjoy Life.

Appreciating Greatness

Being a sports fan, I love watching greatness. I have my favorite teams, but I can still applaud when someone on another team does something worth my appreciation. I can appreciate greatness even when it comes from an arch rival, or even when it means my team loses a championship game. If the better team wins, I can tip my cap. An example of this is my appreciation for a great former pitcher of the Boston Red Sox, Pedro Martinez. This past week, I was able to appreciate the end of a great player that has played for my favorite team for the past 18 years. You might have heard of him. His name is Mariano Rivera.

Mariano Rivera will be the last player to ever wear the number 42, retired by all of baseball as a tribute to the late Jackie Robinson. At the age of 43 when most players have long since retired, Rivera was still one of the best, if not the best, at his position. In my mind, Rivera is one of the best players ever to play the game. His dominance and longevity are unlike any other that I have seen.

One more thing that makes me appreciate a great player on any team is knowing that the player is also a great person. Rivera had declared this was going to be his final season before it began. During the year, he went out of his way to meet with fans from every city to which the team traveled. He would just sit in a room and talk to them. He treated everyone the same way, with respect.

I had my six year old son watch Rivera’s last game with me. He loves baseball and I thought he should be able to tell his friends that he saw the final pitch by the absolute best relief pitcher ever to play the game. It was wonderful to see the appreciation of all the fans demonstrated for such a wonderful human being. After collecting a parting gift from every team throughout the year, he received one last gift from the fans at Yankees stadium. They cheered until he left the field after the game.

Thanks for the greatness 42. A great player and a great person.

Enjoy Life.

Travel

I used to travel in my previous career. It was nice. Fly to California, drive the coastline, and enjoy the sunshine. Fly to Minnesota, work until dinnertime, eat in a new restaurant, and stay in a nice hotel. See new places. Meet new people. Drive new cars. This was especially nice when I was single. When I was single I didn’t really miss anyone from back home. I got to see and learn about different parts of the country and about different types of people and enjoy the time without a second thought about what was happening at home.

I am married now with kids. I was recently away from my home and family for a couple of nights, staying at a very nice resort in Vermont. It was a new place with nice food and people. It was not the same as it used to be though. Traveling, that is. I found myself enjoying the time to myself, but not to the extent that I remembered it. I was thinking about my wife and two little ones back home, and wondering what I was missing. Thinking about the little laughter, the bedtime stories, and goodnight hugs and kisses.

Then it occurred to me that there was a better way. You can’t have two things at once. So I needed to choose to be present where I was, or think about being somewhere else. While I can enjoy the precious thoughts I have of those back home, they should not lessen the enjoyment of my time away. I decided to enjoy the moment I was having in Vermont. Enjoy it for what it was and not get caught up in what it was not. It’s a much more pleasant way to be.

It may be more difficult for some than it is for others, but practice makes perfect. Just like anything else you want to be good at. I try to continually practice the power of my will. The will to choose to concentrate on the moment at hand over the moment occurring somewhere else. It is so much more enjoyable. You may miss people and think of them, but smile while you do it and then smile about where you are now. There is no moment more precious than the present.

Enjoy Life.

The Future Holds Limitless Possibility

I love commencement speeches. They inspire me to do more. Why are they given at the end of your college career though? They should be given at orientation for incoming freshman. That is when you have a group of young people who are likely at the stage of greatest uncertainty surrounding their future. Not that they need to know exactly what they want to be doing with their future. That sometimes takes more time and more experiences to determine, but it is the perfect time to stir one’s passion about their future and the limitless possibilities it contains. It is a time to get excited about learning; learning about economics, engineering, political science, or the many other educational degrees college has to offer. And most of all, it is a time to get excited to learn about yourself.

For those of you who share my enjoyment of inspirational speeches, here is an excerpt from one that I like. It can be addressed to anyone from high school seniors to middle aged men and women who can have a hard time figuring out what is right for them and their future. It doesn’t matter how old you are, your future begins today.

“Listen to both your heart and your head. Pursue your passions, but don’t confuse feelings with facts. Almost nothing is as good or as bad as it first appears, and all things change. By all means, set goals and go after your dreams, but know that your ultimate happiness will depend not on your plans but your ability to cope with unexpected turns and unavoidable ups and downs. You may not get what you thought you wanted, but if you’re willing to adapt, you can get something even better.” ~Michael Josephson

Have the courage to listen to your heart and wisdom to know when to listen to your head. And be sure to remember to always enjoy the journey.

Enjoy Life.

3 Steps Towards Choosing Success

How can we succeed if we have never failed? Mistakes are simply a type of failure. Everybody makes them. Learning from our mistakes allows us the chance to succeed in the future. In fact, if we learn from our mistakes and turn them into experience, which leads towards success...then they truly aren’t mistakes. They are simply an experience.

Lets say you picked the wrong major and feel like wasted your college tuition on an education you won’t do anything with. Well, it certainly must be hard to spend all that time, money and effort on something you don’t want to do anything with anymore. You wouldn’t be the first person to do this though. In fact, some people go their entire lives in a career that does nothing to fulfill them. Other people never get a chance for an education because they need to support their family. So you chose the wrong major? Congratulations for figuring that out! You may have made a mistake with your initial selection, but you succeeded in figuring out one thing that is not right for you. It is up to you to take your experience and do something with it. It is only a mistake if you do nothing to learn from your experiences. Need help taking your mistake and turning it into a success? Try these steps:

No. 1: Admit you made a mistake. This is the most critical step and one that many people have a very hard time with. Why? We are all human. We all have these experiences. Be human. Be yourself. You may find out that it is freeing to be honest with yourself, and the byproduct is that people are attracted to honesty and vulnerability.

No. 2: In very fine detail, explain why it is a mistake. Don’t just say it was a mistake and move on. Why is it a mistake? Is it a mistake because of how it made you feel? Why does it make you feel that way? Or perhaps because of how you made someone else feel? This step helps you learn why you don’t want to make that same mistake again. Once you learn this...

No. 3: What can you do not to repeat the same mistake? You may make several mistakes before you succeed, but please don’t make the same mistakes. Insanity is doing something over and over again expecting a different result. Don’t be insane. Be creative. Come up with a plan. Take your experience and offer yourself different possible solutions to try so that you can eventually succeed.

Mistakes are an important part of our lives. You can do one of two things with them: you can do the easy thing -nothing- and frustrate yourself and/or others by repeating them; or, when you are to, you can follow these steps to make it an experience you learn from and lead you toward success. Be brave. Choose the more difficult way. Make experiences, not mistakes. It will reward you in the end.

Enjoy Life.

A Little Cottage in Maine

Every summer my family spends a few days in a little cottage located on a little island in Maine. The cottage has been in my wife’s family for five generations. We park at the club lot and boat the 100 yards across the harbor to the island. There is no television or internet. Apparently, water and electricity were fairly recent additions to the cottage. We are cut off from the outside world and get to spend our time and our thoughts on each other. It is a welcome holiday for me, void of all worldly distractions.

Imagine what this vacation might look like to those who do not appreciate the calmness? To those who rely on information from the outside world to make them feel connected. What does feeling connected mean anyway? I choose to turn my focus onto the beauty around me: the morning sun telling the world to wake up, my playful children, the sound of the waves, the collection of seashells and sea glass, the wind in my face as our boat skims over the water, my imagination, and I could probably go on and on. I imagine that it could take some reframing for some to learn to appreciate the “bareness” of a disconnected little cottage in Maine. It is worth it to come here though. It is a wonderful place.

I even enjoy when it rains in Maine. That is, as long as the rain doesn’t last for days. When it rains we are stuck inside the small living space. We play card games and board games, read books, and just talk more. If we choose to, we also get to spend time visiting our innermost selves. We get to revisit the memories of where we have been; we get to ask questions about where we are now; and we get to think about where we want to be in the future. We get to dive into the depths of what are the most important things in our life, what we value the most. It is here when I think of the importance of my discovery of coaching. I think of how coaching has filled a desire to have a passion for what I do in my life. My goal is to align what I do with who I am and what I am passionate about.

I am a father and a husband. I am a brother and a son. I am a friend. I am an athlete. I am a sports fan. I am an honest person. I am a truth seeker. I am a thought provoker. I am a coach.

Who are you? What would you list for yourself as the things that are the most important to you? What do you do, or want to do that stirs your passion? Discover it. Perhaps take a trip to a little cottage where you can disconnect. You may learn something new, or simply rediscover something you forgot.

Enjoy Life.

Spartan Race Completed

I finished the Spartan Race with a time of 57 minutes and change, my goal of completing it in under an hour accomplished. My friend, Rebecca, finished in 48 minutes and change. My second goal was not accomplished.

The SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Reasonable, Time oriented):

1. Finish the race in under an hour.

2. Finish alongside Rebecca.

I let go of my second goal less than a mile into the race when we were running up an incline and I could not keep pace. Rebecca turned out to be in much better shape than I suspected. She was beyond impressive really, finishing 30th overall and 1st among females. Amazing.

I was happy to reach my first goal. Imagine if I had just missed my goal and instead finished in, say 62 minutes? I would have a whole different perspective, even though my experience would essentially be the same. Instead of being happy with the results, I would be incredibly motivated to take on the course again next year. Why? It is just the type of person I am. I am the type of person who loves the challenge of success. I would need to race again to achieve that goal. This is why I like to set a second goal that is much more difficult to obtain so it creates my next challenge.

Setting goals are important, but more important is setting goals that are in line with the type of person you are. Set "reasonable" goals and if you are motivated by success, then you can build upon that success by setting new SMART goals. (See goal number 1). If you are the type of person who excels against adversity, then maybe you should have certain goals that are less "Attainable" - set just out of reach so that you never stop improving yourself in order to get there. (See goal number 2). I knew that I am a person who appreciates the extreme challenge which is why I set two goals instead of one. The first to reach and the second to keep me motivated beyond the race. I know if Rebecca wants to race again next year that I will be motivated to train harder and reach that second goal I had for myself this year.

My first goal was SMART. My second goal was smart, without the acronym. It may not have been very attainable, but it turns out to be very motivating.

If you are reading this Rebecca, do you think you could give me another chance to meet my second goal?

Set goals. Stay motivated. Enjoy Life.

SMART Goal - Complete The Spartan Race

First introduced in 1981, SMART goals are used by many people today to achieve anything from healthy eating habits to becoming a successful business person. Setting Specific goals where success is Measureable, Attainable, and Reasonable for you to achieve, while also being able to accomplish the goal in a specific amount of Time, is SMART. As with anything else in life, you also have to be flexible. As you gain experience in attempting to achieve a specific goal, feel free to modify. For example, you may find out that what you thought was reasonable is really not. Or that it may take more time than you originally thought.

Earlier this year, I signed on to do one of those obstacle course races that are quickly becoming more and more popular these days. I realized that as I get older, the more important it is for me to exercise in order to maintain good health. I readily admit that although I like to be healthy, I do not like to exercise. I need to set goals around exercising. I also need some sort of motivation to exercise, so I signed up to do a Spartan Race. The  back story is that I have previously signed up and ran ran the Adventure 5k, but  did not train for it. It didn’t look like something I needed to train for. I play in a basketball league every winter and felt like that was enough for a simple 5k. (I am grateful for good genes.)

Also, I was signed up by my brother to do a previous Spartan Race two years ago. I borrowed my brother’s exercise video that required six days of over one hour of exercise routines each week. I lasted a month. The good news came when the hurricane visited our state and cancelled the race. The following year I requested my rain check be postponed until this year because I was in a wedding ceremony the same weekend. So here I was at the beginning of this year, third chance to run the Spartan Race, already paid for, and SMARTer than before.

I purchased the sequel to my brother’s exercise video and with the knowledge of my previous experience, set a more reasonable goal to exercise only three to four times per week. The program is supposed to last 90 days, but I made it 120 days by spreading it out and even skipping routines where appropriate. Something is better than nothing, right?

This weekend I will race over 3 miles and 15 obstacles, through water, fire, and mud. It will be a test of strength, endurance, and will. I am confident that I will succeed. I used SMART goals, consistently re-evaluating them these past four months to reach a fitness level that will allow me to compete in one of the tougher obstacle races out there. My goal is to finish in under an hour. I will be racing with a friend that is a runner. As she motivates me through the running, I will motivate her through the obstacles. I know she has better endurance than me, so my second goal is to finish beside her. I believe that I have a strong enough will to succeed.

Here’s to living healthy and strong, and maintaining goals to stay that way.

Enjoy Life.

Happy Birthday!

“Seize the day, for today’s tomorrow will soon be yesterday.” Anonymous

I seized the day today. The best I could at least. I woke up early to work out, treating my body the way someone should when they want to live for a century. After a shower (who doesn’t like showers? – my wife would take one for hours if she could) I had breakfast with my two little miracles before heading to work. Normally I would be on vacation for my birthday, but this year I made accommodations with our vacation partners and moved it back two weeks. So I had to work. That was the least favorite part of my day, but I made the most of it. My wife helped too. I talked to her probably a half dozen times. Each time she would lead with “Hey birthday boy!” Sure, it’s kinda corny, but it makes one feel good about one’s self. It made me feel special. It should because it’s my special day! What if I were never born? Never being born is something I normally don’t think about, but in this case I am happy to touch upon it because even though I hate the thought, it makes me want to do more for others. To touch more lives. It motivates me to do more with the gift I have been given. The gift to live.

Maybe I should pretend it is my birthday more often. I was happy all day. I wanted to do more for others. I wanted to make my life more impactful. I don’t see anything wrong with any of that.

I will hold on to that thought, but back to MY day! I went for a walk at lunch time to get a treat. My coworker came with me and bought me my peanut butter brownie. That made me smile. When I got home from work, I got my family in the car and went to have dinner with my extended family. We had ravioli and meatballs with my two brothers and their families and my parents. It can be chaos amongst 17 people, 9 of which are spread between the ages of 0-13 years old, but it’s nice to be with family. I get to end my day by putting my kids to bed and sitting with my bride.

I’m not a greedy man. I don’t want for much. I have a happy and healthy family who I love to spend time with. It makes my every day worth more than yesterday. And I have a bunch of yesterdays that I can smile about too! So as today ends, I look forward to tomorrow. It may not be my birthday anymore, but that doesn’t mean I can’t live with a smile and try to make others smile while I’m at it.

Enjoy Life.

Engagement, Purpose, and Passion

The president and CEO of my coaching alma mater recently sent out a blog requesting that we, as leaders, begin to ask more questions of those we lead so that they may find their own answers. He is speaking to us as coaches, teachers, parents, or leaders. The blog discusses the topic of disengagement, how many people become disengaged in some aspect of their lives at different points in their lives. That this disengagement begins at a very early age possibly because of how we are told what direction we should lead our own lives in order to be successful. In adolescence, we aren't necessarily taught how to be successful. Instead, we are taught how others have become successful before us. This may be a great plan to follow for some people, but everyone is different. Everyone has different motivational factors that drive them towards success, and everyone has a different idea of what success is. Or do we? How can we truly know what success means to ourselves, if we have always been told what everything entails in order to get there?

Take this opportunity right now to stop and think about what would make your life successful. Define what success means to you. This is not something that can be taught to you. It is something far more personal. Only you have the answer. Look into your heart. Whether you are 20, 40, or 60 years old, the time to figure out the answer to one of life's most important question is NOW!

I spend time helping people to ask the right questions of themselves in order to find out their purpose or passion. I concentrate on students entering, within, or graduating from college so that they don't have to wait years upon years to start asking themselves these questions that inevitably come up for most of us. What will keep you engaged in what you do for a living? Being engaged in what you do will lead to success because you will feel that what you are putting into your work is providing something in return. On the contrary, not being engaged in what you do will surely not lead to success.

As years pass, people may change their passion, they may come to find a new purpose. In fact, it is likely that as your environment changes, for example, as you start a relationship or as you start a family, your desires may also change. However, I would not suggest that you wait for your future years to determine your own passion. Now is the time. Each step you take in the right direction leads you further along the path of success. You will learn more about yourself along the way if you start walking that path now. Become engaged. Find your passion.
