Love Always - Coach J
It is possible to give and still increase, as is it is possible to withhold too much an be in poverty. What are you holding back that you can give? Time, Money, Love, Attention? You get what you give. Are you giving happiness or pain? Don't hold back the gift you were given to share.

On the path of attaining knowledge of self and personal development the word wisdom comes up often. In a recent read E2 by Pam Grout she mentioned "You cannot know wisdom. You can only be wisdom." That is interesting and topic worthy in itself. Then my follow up reading has spoken to come from a place of understanding to gain wisdom. If first we seek to understand then we may utilize our knowledge and display wisdom. First we must seek to understand. This means taking away the fixed perspectives we have and look objectively to understand. Love Always - Coach J I love how young children are so direct. They tell you what they want when they want. They tell you if they like something or do not. They tell you if they are happy or if they don't like the shirt you are wearing. It is not about social politeness or emotional sensitivity because their intent is pure. They are simply giving direct feedback to the things you ask of them. Our expectation of a certain reply or some sort of confirmation allows us to be in awe of their directness or offended, but the reality is it is our choice to be offended or awed, this is simply their opinion. To be so in tune and to operate from a place of honesty and non filtered directness is a form of young maturity and has me questioning this morning how is really more mature? The adult or the child? Let me know what you think in the comment section. Love Always - Coach J Your foundation are the values you build your life on. You most likely make your life decisions based on your values. This is usually an internal thing. Your platform is what do you express in public to support or expand your views. Facebook is a platform, email is a platform, the words you speak and this website are all platforms. If you think of these mediums as platforms for the world to absorb your expressions and align with your beliefs will you continue to repost everything you read? Or will you consider information and selectively move forward with it? Your platform is your voice whether digital or analog. Take some time today and list out where you "speak" and be clear and strong in your platforms. Love Always - Coach J Ever wonder why our culture has such a fascination with vampires, or zombies? Why are they depicted as horrible distraught creatures? The fact is that there are many people that would appear to be living by definition of using resources and taking space on earth. In reality they are consumers that have no direction or input on the good of society and that is not a life you want to emulate. These followers are the living dead and unlike in your TV show or movie they are not so easily spotted. In fact even the best of us are not present at all times. We float in and out of our thoughts acting out of habit in place of truly experiencing the moment and living. To live dead is not a true life it is existence. As you wake with gratitude today take time to synch your thoughts with your life as it is actually happening for you right now. Project the future you want and actually live. Live now, wake up. Love Always - Coach J Reading Proverbs 6 today I was reflecting on the lesson of the ants. They have no king to direct them, yet they work steadily through summer to have enough for winter. I am reflecting on this now as I not only am always studying and reflecting but on the basic level of preparing meals for the week, ironing for the week, making sure the laundry is set and reviewing the weekly calendar to be most effective in the event of an unscheduled event. Breaking down our larger goals to the actual actions we must take is awesome, but also make sure you are being effective in the most basic principles of life. Food, Shelter, clothing. Love Always - Coach J What comes to mind when you hear the words inspired, motivated, encouraged? Stop and think about the things that motivate you. Adversely think about what makes you feel inadequate or gloomy. Realize that energy flows through you. Just as what you eat affects your output. The energy you surround yourself with and the things you chose to read, watch, and entertain will flow through you. I'm grateful for the energy that flows through me. I am empowered, supreme and ready to go! Love Always - Coach J Take a quick moment and reflect on your average day. Break your time into a mental pie chart. How much of it goes to work, or career? How much to family? How much to study or education? How much to recreation? How much to rest/relaxation/sleep? Within each slice make sure you are taking care of yourself first. You must be healthy and strong before you can assist another. We should do all we can to assist others, after we've taken care of ourselves first. Find some way to invest in yourself a little each day. What will you do toady - right now to invest in yourself? Love Always - Coach J Do I need more than to take my first conscious breath to acknowledge this is a beautiful life? Simply waking in the comfort and care of my health and sound mind should be enough to start the day on the right foot. Once I am alert, focused and back to my physical plane I can seek other goals and pursuits, but genuine joy is as simple as gratitude in that first breath. Love Always - Coach J Have you ever had a thought or revelation that made you not only feel, but literally exclaim "I am going to shock the world!"? And as you pressed towards sharing your revelation you found you were simply ignored like the homeless preacher shouting the gospel on a street corner. I ask you as you seek revelation, are you willing to continue down the path even if no one follows you? Are you willing to stand alone for your belief? Sometimes the only world that is shocked is your own. With this in mind, please continue to shock the world, but do not wait for a response or acknowledgement from anything external from yourself. Those seeking self mastery are true warriors indeed. Love Always - Coach J |
