So over the last week, I decided to sit down and write my coaching page from my heart, speaking to those I think it could benefit. I didn’t worry about talking to the right niche or describing the transformation.

Two of those men are fellow Insight Timer teachers, Charles Freligh and Mark Guay. I wanted to use this email to highlight both of them and share some of their work.

I realize that it stems from my teen years. When I started dating my high school girlfriend, this guy who really liked her egged my car. It started this whole AIM chat drama (remember AIM?!), where his friends would message me, trying to incite a fight.

When I first heard this story, I got chills. What are the chances an NFL player would be reading his book on the sidelines for the entire world to see? And how did it come at the exact moment when Jim needed it?

When you feel sad, it’s not healthy to push it away. Nor is it helpful to get into action and fix it. The best thing you can do when you're sad is to feel sad.

The successful ones rack up rejection after rejection after rejection. They know that by staying in the game, they are strengthening their resilience and perseverance.
