One of my favorite quotes is: "Never doubt that a group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only ting that ever has."
I was reminded of this quote over the past weekend as I watched the number of views of an MLB video about my hero, Jack Buck, climb and climb and climb.
This week's #LiveInspired vlog reminds you that just like Jack's good deeds continue to have an impact 15 years after his death, so too can your life.
So let the ripple effect of your life and love impact well beyond the individuals around you today.
Today is your day. Live Inspired.
"What really matters is whether the alphabet is used for the declaration of war or for the description of a sunrise." Mister Rogers.
I've been reading Mister Rogers a lot lately (don't ask!).
What I'll say, though, is he is a fascinating, loving, and enlightened person. I liked the show growing up, but now that I am grown up, like the man behind it even more. Fred has an awful lot to teach us on how to be nice to our neighbors and be better kids.
But don't discount how much he has to teach each one of us on our ability each day to be better neighbors, spouses, partners, friends and leaders in life.
Turns out, as he reminds us above, that the words we use in writing, in speaking, and into the reflection in the mirror do matter.
Make sure the words you choose to use to your neighbors breathe life, hope, and possibility into them...rather than sowing seeds of conflict, resentment and war.
Won't you be my neighbor?
This is your day.
Live Inspired.

"We're stronger in the places that we've been broken." Hemingway.
At a swim party this weekend a girl (about 8) was telling me how great it was to be able to get back in the water. She'd broken her arm, been in a cast for several weeks and it had just been removed.
After I told her how sorry I was about her arm, she replied that it was alright....she could swim again. And besides, the doctor told her it is even stronger now than it's ever been.
My friends, I think what this little one knew to be true for her bones, is also true for our lives.
No one likes enduring pain, struggle or brokenness.
And yet in the healing of that injury, hurt or heartache we grow in compassion, character, courage, resolve and love.
The pool is open today. Jump back in and know that your best is yet to come.

Good Morning Friends!
Today is a very special day, and I just couldn't wait until tomorrow to send you a dose of #MondayMotivation.
You see, friends, today is the 15th anniversary of my hero Jack Buck's passing. As most of you know, this man had a profound impact on my life and MLB Network recently put together a brief video to celebrate his story in a way you've likely never seen before.
As we celebrate our dads and all the father figures in our lives, I hope you'll take a moment to watch the video below and be reminded of your amazing ability to impact the lives of others.
Just do me one favor. Share the video after wiping your tears!
Today is your day. Live Inspired.

God Bless You!!!!
Thanks,

Thank you for your inspiring and engaging book! I am so grateful you put yourself out there outside of your comfort zone. Your real ness is so welcome and needed.
It’s one of only 3 books in my life that I started reading and could not put down. I am 66 years old. I had a box of Kleenex and used the whole box, not from just crying, but also from laughing and considering. Best book I have read in many, many years. Love and hugs to John for sharing his love to all.
Love this book! It was gifted to me. I’m reading it again for the third time. After receiving it, I read it within 48 hours. Then I read it again, section by section, over the summer. Each chapter, each section speaks directly to me. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to live an inspired life.
Good reading
I listen to John O’Leary speak in Richmond today and I have to say he had one of the most inspirational stories I have ever heard. He is a truly amazing person from his charm to sense of humor. May God continue to bless this man.
Will have to read this! Heard John on Chris Brown then Dave Ramsey. One amazing human! Go Cards!
If you haven’t heard John O’Leary speak from the platform of a sold out arena, you’re missing out on an incredible message. But you’re in luck! John has put his inspirational and life- changing message into this brilliant book. His story and words of wisdom will not only encourage you, they will ignite a passion to live your life to the fullest.
My company gets the chance to hear from some of the country’s best speakers, and my friend John O’Leary is one of the best we’ve ever had. His incredible story of persistence, passion, and intense focus left a mark on my team that we were still talking about more than a year later. Don’t miss John’s message—he will change your life!
When he was only nine years old John O’Leary survived a fire that should have killed him. But as he quickly learned, surviving is only the first step. In the ensuing years O’Leary and his family figured out how to move forward in life, how to get past the bitterness, anger and depression to thrive. O’Leary weaves his own riveting story around his hard-won lessons about how to engage with the world, to demand the most from yourself and how to live a full and meaningful life. On Fire is true-life story of post-traumatic growth that everyone can learn from.
There a rare handful of people in the world whose life story will change you forever. John O’Leary is one of these people. The powerful life lessons in this book will forever inspire you to live, lead and love differently.
John is the embodiment of someone who made a powerful choice to not be defined by his challenges. This book is a reminder to us all that no matter what happens in life, we deserve and are capable of discovering our passion, pursuing our dreams and making a meaningful impact on the world.
John O’Leary is truly one of the most amazing humans on the planet. His story will not only inspire you but give you practical ideas for how to enjoy your life more, appreciate all that you have, and push you to achieve all that you are capable of doing.
I can count on one hand the number of books I’ve read that created an urgency to push away my fears and past mistakes to step fully into life. Drawn in by John’s incredible story and conversational writing style, On Fire helped me see life’s trials as steppingstones to an enhanced version of me. John’s powerful truths enabled me to stop seeing what I can’t do and see the opportunities still available. On Fire offers a redemptive invitation to all, leading us to believe that no matter how many times we’ve fall down, no matter how dismal the current situation, the best is yet to come.
On Fire, by John O’Leary, celebrates the beauty of LIFE! Through courageously sharing his own pain and devastating loss, O’Leary reveals how crucial it is for us to keep moving forward after a setback or trial—still hope, still dream, still see the possibilities before us. Eventually we must all make the choice to truly live or just exist. A magnificent and inspiring read!
Fast paced, emotional, and surprisingly funny, On Fire is an amazing reminder that, as John says, we might not be able to choose the path we walk in life, but we can always choose the manner in which we walk it.
This is a book about coming alive – about practicing courage and fully showing up at home, work, and with the people we love. John is a storyteller, change-maker, and cage-rattler. Reading this book is like having a good friend look you square in the eye and say, ‘The time to be brave is now.’
