Love Always - Coach J
We all fall short of Grace. Do not be above asking another for forgivness. Then you must forgive yourself. Life is the journey, we will hit bumps. There are valleys and peaks. Being able to reflect and correct is a blessing.

Do you recall as a child taking a blanket and a few chairs or using the couch to hang a blanket from and making a "fort" or "castle"? When there was a good snow we would make snow castles and forts outside. I remember these creations being so cozy and tight that I would invite my cousin in with me and we could barely move around but we loved it! It was our get away and our domain to reign. Reflecting last night with my family I realized that where I am now is still not where I want to be. However if I had imagined where I am now when I was a child I would thought I was king of the world. My cozy home is someones castle. I am grateful I realized this before I move on to my next castle. No matter what it looks like we are happy and free to reign in our domain. Love Always - Coach J If I said from this day forward you will live in a cage how would that make you feel? What does a cage smell like? How does it feel? What do you see and hear? Interestingly for some it would be quite relieving to have a secure place to stay with food and water provided without having to hunt or gather. External threats would now be irrelevant. You can hang up any pretty pictures or decorations you like. Don't you want to be safe and secure? Or do you want to live in the real world where it is scary and beautiful all at the same time. Get a little hungry and have to fight, scratch, and earn your keep. Is there pride and growth in earning your own keep? It's your choice. Hide away and decorate your cage or get out and see things you never can experience until you put a little on the line and live amongst the living. Love Always - Coach J If you were cold and on the verge of freezing how far would you go to find warmth? If you were hungry on the verge of starvation what limits would you pass to survive? If you knew the cure to heal a child's ailment at what point would you give up before you achieved the cure? You are not cold, hungry, or have an ill child. So the drive to do something great can sit idle in your mind. It can sit idle in front of the TV or internet for hours on end. Many a great mind is not even alive because we won't activate our passion to live and act with the greatness that is within us. It won't pass the tipping point unless you want it more than survival itself. Fight for your dreams as if you were underwater fighting for your breath. How bad do you want it? Love Always - Coach J You are the center of your universe. Everything revolves around you. If you choose to let something else take priority in your life it is an option. The strength of individuals combined is first realized by the family unit. That spills over to the community, our nation, and eventually the world. The deterioration of the family values and power allow the world, nation and eventually the community to dictate your direction. Work inside out, not outside in. Love Always - Coach J Sometimes we inspire people and don't even realize it. People are always looking - what message are you sending. I received a message the other day from a man I had the pleasure of working with for a short time updating me on how his family is doing. He said I had sent a group quote out sometime ago that caught him at the right time and in turn he shared this with me. "Why do we close our eyes when we pray? When we cry? When we dream? Or when we kiss? Because we know that the most beautiful things in life are not seen, but felt by the heart." Love Always - Coach J |
