Bad Times Can Make You Bitter or Better - Podcast #142

“Send Coach John a message”

Things happen all the time that knock us down in life - those things can make us bitter or better.... I'm looking to choose better. A few days ago I was physically assaulted by a student at my school. No details here other than he sucker-punched me in the face. I got checked out - all is well, no broken bones, no concussion, just a very colorful black eye. I was lucky. I never saw it coming and it could have been so much worse. I'm trying very hard to look at the many lessons from this. This article that I found: https://www.success.com/blog/bad-times-can-make-you-bitter-or-better Full of great reminders for me and for all of us going through tough times. Just like Randy Pausch (The Last Lecture) said - I never found anger to help things to get better. I'm trying to focus on the things that I can do more and get better. More to come on this story and the lessons I am learning... thanks.
