Surround yourself with those that you would like to be most like. We tend to want to be around others that are at our level, but make sure you stretch and reach for those that are above where you are now but where you want to be. Also make sure you take time to help someone that is not where you are but making all the moves they can to get there. You will be most like that which you surround yourself with.

The pride of a city and the strength of a community are tested in moments of disaster. Watching a group of people overcome overwhelming odds to rebuild their homes and communities, helping each other, looking forward and not back. My experieince of visiting a community that has overcome a disaster is that their sense of pride and community is energizing and inspiring. At the heart of the storm is the potential to release the heart of a community. Love Always - Coach J "When was the last time you did something for the first time?" - a quote I heard yesterday. What a way to live. Take this approach to each day and execute. I promise your life experience will be magnified, savored and enjoyed. Breathe life in, drink from the cup and share with others. Love Always - Coach J Have you ever heard someone say - oh those NASCAR people are fanatics, or those Alabama fans are just crazy? Have you ever stopped to concider the thought that some people are just jerks and if they promote something you have no interest in it may make the activity they endorse even more unapealing? Max Jacobson-Fried said it best in his article 3 Reasons to get upset about CrossFit "People get excited about CrossFit just like they get excited about camping, or drinking, or their pets. Anyone can be high-handed and overbearing regardless of the interest... A**holes in real life become a**holes who like CrossFit, and awesome people in real life become awesome people who like CrossFit. Just be awesome. Always." The window of opportunity. In the right place at the right time. Once you walk in a dedicated, focused, intentional fashion day in and day out somehow coincidences start to happen for you. Deja Vu is more common when you are on the "right" path. Success is when perparation meets opportunity. Be ready for your moment. Timing is everything. Love Always - Coach J Water placed in a glass with the word Love written on it then frozen shows the most beautiful symmetrical "snowflake like" crystals. Water placed in a glass with words like war or hate and then frozen show uneven spastic crystals. The distortion and disharmony in these finds are only the beginning of Masaru Emoto's work. Not only do we uncover what our intent can do to our most precious natural resource but how that energy transmits to each of us daily. Reflecting on the conduit to our life force I also have to reflect on water "treatment" centers and all the other things we do to the water we need for survival.

As Bruce Lee said “A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.” And yet as we reach for the impossible we can't help but obtain something greater than anyone ever imagined possible. Envision your perfect life and shoot even higher than than that. Even if you "fall short" you have more than you ever could have imagined! Love Always - Coach J |
