Do You GLOW or SHINE ?
“Some people shine like the sun—bold, bright, impossible to miss. Others glow like the moon—gentle, steady, lighting the way in the dark.” ~ Joe Gradia Keep Your Eye On The Game At All Times 👀
Here are some steps to “keep your eyes on the game of life at all times”—breaking that mindset into action:
1. Know Your Goal
• Define what “winning” means to you: peace, success, growth, freedom—your game, your rules.
2. Stay Self-Aware
• Check in with yourself daily. Are your actions matching your values? Are you reacting or responding?
3. Read the Field
• Pay attention to your surroundings: people, opportunities, risks. Awareness is your superpower.
4. Move with Intention
• Every step should serve a purpose, even rest. Don’t just move—advance.
5. Adapt and Adjust
• The game changes—so should your strategy. Be fluid, not fixed.
6. Control Your Emotions
• Stay cool under pressure. Emotional intelligence is like having extra lives in the game.
7. Keep Learning
• Study the moves of others, learn from your L’s, sharpen your mind like a blade.
8. Guard Your Energy
• Choose your battles. Not every opponent deserves your time on the board.
9. Keep Perspective
• Zoom out sometimes. The game is long—don’t get stuck on one play.
10. Never Zone Out
• Life doesn’t hit pause. Even in the quiet moments, stay alert & aware. By Joe Gradia
Walk A MILE In My Shoes!
“Before you judge someone, walk a mile in their shoes.”
It’s a reminder to pause, empathize, and consider what someone else might be going through before making assumptions. “Walk a mile in my shoes. See what I see. Hear what I hear. Feel what I feel. Then maybe you’ll understand why I do what I do. Until then, don’t judge me.”
It’s powerful because it speaks to the unseen struggles, the internal battles, and the reasons behind actions that others might never fully grasp. Are YOU Ready ❓ By Joe Gradia
